What is the difference between long-acting thermal label paper and ordinary thermal label paper?

There are significant differences between long-acting thermal label paper and ordinary thermal label paper in many aspects, the following is a detailed comparison:

Long-acting three heat-proof labels Ordinary heat-sensitive labels

Waterproof performance usually has better waterproof performance, can maintain good readability and stability in wet environment poor waterproof performance, wet environment is easy to blur or damage

Oil resistant performance can resist the erosion of grease, not easy to get dirty or damaged oil resistant performance is poor, oil environment is easy to blur or damage

The wear resistance is more wear-resistant, not easy to scratch and wear. The wear resistance is poor, and it is easy to scratch and wear

Long service life, can remain clear and readable for a long time Short service life, easy to fade or damage

Adapt to the environment can adapt to more harsh environments, such as high temperature, humidity and other ability to adapt to the environment is relatively weak, mainly suitable for dry, clean environment

Quality stability Quality is more stable, not easy to fade, deformation quality stability is poor, easy to fade or deformation

Application Scope Applicable to more fields and scenarios, such as logistics, warehousing, and industrial scenarios that do not require high requirements on labels

Printing effect Printing clear, bright color, clear font printing effect may not be as good as long-acting three heat-resistant label paper

The cost is usually higher than that of ordinary thermal label paper and the cost is relatively low

In summary, the long-acting thermal label paper is superior to ordinary thermal label paper in terms of water resistance, oil resistance, wear resistance, durability, adaptability to the environment and quality stability, but the cost is also relatively high. Therefore, select labels based on actual requirements and application scenarios. If the performance and quality requirements of the label paper are high, such as use in harsh environments or need to be stored for a long time, long-acting heat-resistant label paper may be a better choice. For some common scenarios, ordinary thermal labels can meet basic requirements.
