How to choose the backing paper for color thermal label paper?

When selecting a backing paper suitable for color thermal label paper, several factors need to be considered to ensure that the performance, durability and suitability of the label meet specific needs. Here are some key options:

1. Application scenario:

Determine what environment the label will be used in, such as indoors, outdoors, heat, humidity, or exposure to chemicals.

Select a backing paper that is weatherproof, waterproof, oilproof, or chemical resistant according to the application scenario.

2. Printing equipment and process:

Consider the type of printing equipment used (such as thermal printers, laser printers, etc.) and the printing process (such as web printing, sheet printing, etc.).

Select a backing paper that is compatible with the printing equipment and can adapt to the printing process to ensure print quality and production efficiency.

3. Label size and shape:

Select the appropriate backing paper according to the size and shape of the label to ensure that the backing paper can support the label stably and is easy to die cut and label.

4. Adhesive Type:

Consider the type of adhesive required (such as permanent adhesive, removable adhesive, repeat adhesive, etc.).

Choose a backing paper that is compatible with the adhesive to ensure adhesive adhesion and durability.

5. Cost and Sustainability:

Evaluate the cost effectiveness of different backing paper, including material costs, processing costs and waste disposal costs.

Consider the environmental and sustainability of the backing paper and choose recyclable or biodegradable backing paper to reduce environmental impact.

6. Color and transparency:

Select the color and transparency of the backing paper according to the requirements of the label design.

Transparent paper applies to the scenario where the content on the back of a label needs to be observed, and opaque paper applies to the scenario where the content on the back of a label needs to be hidden.

7. Durability and strength:

Consider factors such as mechanical stress, friction and tearing that the label may be subjected to during use.

Choose a backing paper with sufficient durability and strength to ensure that the label will remain intact and clear under harsh conditions.

8. Suppliers and Technical support:

Choose reputable suppliers to ensure the quality and supply stability of backing paper.

Consider technical support and after-sales services provided by suppliers to get help and solutions when needed.

In summary, select a backing paper of a suitable color thermal label paper needs to consider a number of factors. By carefully evaluating application scenarios, printing equipment and processes, label size and shape, adhesive type, cost and sustainability, color and transparency, durability and strength, as well as suppliers and technical support, you can select the most suitable backing paper for your specific needs.
