Low temperature does have a certain impact on the performance of small rolls of thermal label paper. Specific impacts are as follows:


1. Decreased viscosity and adhesion

At low temperature, the viscosity of the self-adhesive material decreases with the decrease of temperature. For small rolls of thermal label paper, the glue viscosity on the back of the paper may be affected, resulting in a decrease in viscosity and adhesion. This may cause the label to be less secure when pasted, or to fall off after pasting.

2. Print quality is affected

The print quality of thermal label paper is also affected by temperature. Although thermal printing paper can be used at low temperatures from 0 ° C to 50 ° C, the best operating temperature range is generally between 20 ° C and 30 ° C. In this temperature range, the printed pattern is of high quality and the paper will last longer. If the temperature is too low, the quality of the printed image may deteriorate, and problems such as blur and unclear appear.

3. Material frostbite

Label paper placed outdoors or in a cold environment, self-adhesive materials are easy to cause frostbite, especially in the adhesive part. If the recovery is not good, the adhesion and workability of the adhesive will be lost or weakened. For small rolls of heat-sensitive label paper, similar problems may occur if they are stored or transported in a low temperature environment for a long time.

Coping measures

In a low temperature environment, in order to keep the performance of the small roll of thermal label paper stable, you can take the following measures:

1.Storage environment Temperature control: Store the label in a suitable temperature and humidity environment to avoid long-term exposure to low or high temperature environment.

2.Presetting treatment: If the temperature of the label paper is too low due to transportation or storage conditions, it can be preset in the labeling environment for a period of time (such as more than 24 hours) before use to improve the temperature of the label material itself, restore the viscosity and processing performance.

3.Label temperature control: Ensure that the ambient temperature is not lower than the minimum label temperature to ensure that the label can be firmly attached.


In summary, low temperature does have a certain impact on the performance of small roll thermal label paper, but through reasonable storage and use methods, these effects can be effectively reduced.
