What is the main difference between thermal label paper and ordinary thermal label paper?

The main differences between thermal label paper and ordinary thermal label paper are reflected in many aspects, and the following is a detailed summary of these differences:

Water resistance

Three heat-resistant label paper: with stronger waterproof performance, it can maintain the clarity and integrity of the label even in wet environments. Its surface is covered with a special waterproof coating, which can effectively resist the erosion of water.

Ordinary thermal label paper: The waterproof performance is relatively weak, and long-term exposure to humid environment may cause the label to be blurred or damaged.

Oil resistance

Three heat-resistant label paper: can resist the erosion of grease, not easy to be polluted by grease, keep the label clean and readable.

Ordinary thermal label paper: poor oil resistance, grease is easy to adhere to the surface of the label, affecting its beauty and readability.

Wear resistance

Three heat-resistant label paper: stronger wear resistance, not easy to be scratched or worn, suitable for use in occasions that require frequent touch or handling.

Ordinary thermal label paper: The wear resistance is weak, long-term use or frequent touch is easy to cause the label surface wear.

durability

Three heat-resistant label paper: longer service life, can remain clear and readable for a longer time, and adapt to more harsh environments, such as high temperature, humidity, etc.

Ordinary thermal label paper: the durability is relatively poor, the service life is short, it may be easy to fade, deformation, and the ability to adapt to the environment is weak.

Scope of application

Heat-proof label paper: widely used in fields with high performance and quality requirements for label paper, such as logistics, warehousing, industry, electronic products, auto parts, food packaging, etc., especially in occasions where waterproof, oil-proof, wear-resistant and other characteristics are required.

Common thermal label paper: It is mainly used in scenarios that do not require high label paper, such as common retail, bar code printing, logistics and transportation, and the price is relatively low.

Materials and coatings

Three heat-sensitive label paper: The use of domestic high-quality paper special fabric, thick and uniform coating, like a layer of wax on the label surface, scratches are not obvious.

Ordinary heat-sensitive label paper: The use of domestic paper ordinary materials, the coating is relatively thin, with fingernails quickly and vigorously across the paper, will leave deep black scratches.

In summary, the three heat-proof label paper is superior to ordinary heat-sensitive label paper in terms of water resistance, oil resistance, wear resistance and durability, so it has a wider range of application, especially for fields with higher requirements for label paper performance and quality. When selecting a label, determine the appropriate label type based on actual requirements and application scenarios.
