Can small rolls of thermal label paper be used to print bar codes?

Small rolls of thermal label paper can indeed be used to print barcodes. Thermal printing technology forms images and text by heating the thermal layer on the thermal paper to make it change color. This technique also applies to the printing of bar codes. In many industries such as catering and retail, small rolls of thermal label paper are often used to quickly print labels containing barcodes to facilitate commodity tracking, inventory management and data recording.

Barcode application scenarios include but are not limited to:

Item identification: In retail stores, each item can be uniquely identified using a label containing a barcode for easy cash collection and management.

Inventory management: In warehouse or inventory management, barcode labels can help quickly identify and track goods, improving the efficiency and accuracy of inventory management.

Order processing: In the catering industry, the barcode on the order can contain key data such as table number and dish information to help the kitchen process the order quickly and accurately.

The advantages of using small rolls of thermal label paper to print barcodes include:

Efficient and convenient: Thermal printing technology does not require ink or carbon tape, printing speed, suitable for large print needs.

Low cost: The consumable cost of thermal paper is usually lower, which helps to save costs.

Environmental protection and energy saving: Compared with traditional printing methods, thermal printing is more environmentally friendly and energy saving.

It should be noted that although the barcode on the thermal label paper is clear and easy to read at the beginning of printing, its durability may not be as good as some other printing methods (such as thermal transfer). Therefore, in the need for long-term storage or to withstand the test of harsh environments, other printing solutions may need to be considered. However, for most daily applications in the catering industry and retail industry, small rolls of heat-sensitive label paper are fully able to meet the needs of barcode printing.
