What is a small roll of thermal label paper?

Small roll thermal label paper is a special type of label paper that combines the characteristics of thermal printing technology and portable design, designed for portable and mobile printing applications. Here is a detailed explanation of the small roll of thermal label paper:

Definition and characteristics

Definition: Small roll thermal label paper is a kind of paper treated with high thermal sensitive coating, and generates text, pattern and other information on the surface of the label paper through thermal printing technology.

Features:

1.Portability: Usually designed as a lightweight, easy-to-carry, small volume form for printing in outdoor or mobile environments.

2.High sensitivity: Its high sensitivity surface can be applied to low voltage printhead, minimal wear to the printhead.

3.No carbon belt: no carbon belt is needed when using, printing directly through the thermal printer, which is convenient, fast and cost-effective.

Material and construction

Material: Mainly composed of high heat sensitive coating, paper base and adhesive layer. The heat-sensitive coating contains adhesives, color developing agents, colorless dyes and other components, which change color when exposed to heat.

Structure: The paper base is used as the supporting material, the adhesive layer is used for pasting and fixing, and there may be a layer of bottom paper for protecting the adhesive layer, and the bottom paper can be used after printing.

Application field

Because of its portability and efficiency, small roll thermal label paper has a wide range of applications in a number of fields, including but not limited to:

Logistics industry: Used to make express bills, logistics labels, etc., by printing barcode, two-dimensional code and other identification information, quickly and accurately track the location and quantity of packages.

Retail industry: as a price tag, promotion label, etc., to facilitate customers to understand the price information of goods, improve sales effect.

Medical industry: Used for drug management, medical device identification and traceability, etc., to ensure the safety of medication and the effectiveness of medical devices.

Food industry: Used on food packaging, printing food origin, production date, shelf life and other information, easy to trace and management.

Matters needing attention

Storage time: The storage time of the small roll of heat-sensitive label paper is relatively short, and external conditions such as high temperature, sunlight or tape contact for a long time will speed up the fading process.

Environmental adaptability: Although some small roll thermal label paper has three anti-water, anti-oil, and anti-friction features, ordinary small roll thermal label paper is not waterproof or anti-oil. Pay attention to the environmental conditions when using it.

In summary, small roll thermal label paper is a combination of thermal printing technology and portable design characteristics of label paper, with its unique material composition, convenient use, wide range of applications and good performance, in the field of modern business and logistics plays an important role.
