Thermal label paper and thermal transfer label paper which is more suitable for food packaging

In the field of food packaging, thermal label paper and copperplate label paper have their own application scenarios and advantages, and the choice of which is more suitable for food packaging needs to be comprehensively considered according to the specific needs and conditions. The following is a detailed comparison and summary of the two labels:

Thermal label paper

Advantages:

Economical: Thermal label paper is relatively low cost, suitable for a large number of food packaging scenarios, such as supermarkets, convenience stores, etc.

Fast printing speed: The thermal printer can achieve high-speed printing to meet the fast and efficient production needs of food packaging.

Environmental protection: Thermal label paper does not need to use ink, reducing environmental pollution.

Easy to use: no ink cartridge or ribbon required, easy to operate and low maintenance cost.

Cons:

Poor durability: The storage time of heat-sensitive label paper is relatively short, easy to be damp, discolored or faded, and is not suitable for long-term storage of food packaging.

Limited printing quality: Compared with coated paper labels, the printing quality of thermal label paper may be slightly inferior, and the image and text may not be clear and full.

Copperplate label paper

Advantages:

High-grade and beautiful: coated paper labels are beautifully printed and colorful, which can enhance the grade and quality of food packaging.

Strong durability: Coated paper labels have good water resistance, chemical resistance and wear resistance, suitable for long-term use and harsh environments.

Wide range of application: Coated paper labels are suitable for food packaging of various shapes and sizes, and can provide good fit and protection.

Good printing effect: Coated paper labels are suitable for a variety of printing technologies, such as inkjet, laser, etc., to achieve high-quality image and text printing.

Cons:

Higher cost: Compared with thermal label paper, the manufacturing cost of coated paper labels is higher.

Limited weather resistance: Although coated paper labels have good durability, they may also have problems such as fading and aging under extreme environmental conditions (such as long-term exposure to high temperature and high humidity).

conclude

Thermal label paper suitable for:

Food packaging scenarios that are cost-sensitive and require heavy use.

Food packaging that does not require high label storage time.

The pursuit of environmental protection, easy to use food packaging.

Copperplate label paper suitable for:

Need to improve the food packaging grade and quality of the scene.

Food packaging with high requirements for label durability and printing quality.

Food packaging that needs to be used for a long time under various environmental conditions.

In summary, the choice of thermal label paper or copper label paper for food packaging needs to be comprehensively considered according to specific needs and conditions. If you need a lot of use, cost sensitive or pursue environmental protection and ease of use, thermal label paper may be a better choice; If you need to improve the grade and quality of food packaging, and have high requirements for the durability and printing quality of the label, copper plate label paper may be more suitable.
