What is the difference between transparent thermal label paper and color thermal label paper

Transparent thermal label paper and color thermal label paper have obvious differences in many aspects, the following points will be summarized and explained:

Material and appearance

Transparent thermal label paper: The use of transparent substrate, such as polyester film or polypropylene film, its transparency is high, can clearly show the appearance of the article to be affixed.

Color thermal label paper: In addition to having a thermal coating, it also contains color dyes, which can print out color graphic information to make the label more prominent.

Print effect

Transparent thermal label paper: The printed graphic information is usually black or gray, but due to the transparency of the substrate, it will not block the appearance of the item to be pasted.

Color thermal label paper: can print out color graphic information, make the label more colorful and eye-catching.

Application scenario

Transparent heat-sensitive label paper: due to its transparency, it is suitable for occasions where the appearance of the items to be pasted needs to be displayed, such as electronic products, cosmetics and other packaging. In addition, transparent thermal label paper is also commonly used for long-term storage or multiple use occasions, such as library book labels, shelf labels, etc.

Color thermal label paper: suitable for occasions where label information needs to be highlighted, such as commodity promotion labels, price labels, etc. Color thermal label paper can also be used to make a variety of personalized labels, such as home management labels, holiday decoration labels, etc.

durability

Transparent heat-sensitive label paper: Generally has good waterproof, oil and anti-friction properties, and can resist the erosion of the external environment to a certain extent.

Color thermal label paper: Durability may vary depending on dye quality and printing technology. Some high-quality color thermal label paper also has good waterproof, oil and stain resistance.

cost

Because of the need to contain color dyes and more complex printing technology, the cost of color thermal label paper is usually slightly higher than that of transparent thermal label paper. However, with the progress of technology and the intensification of market competition, the price of color thermal label paper is gradually becoming reasonable.

In summary, there are obvious differences between transparent thermal label paper and color thermal label paper in terms of materials, printing effects, application scenarios, durability and cost. When selecting the application, you need to weigh and choose according to the specific application scenarios and requirements.
