Is heat-sensitive label waterproof?

Whether thermal label paper is waterproof depends on its specific type. The following is a detailed analysis of the water resistance of thermal label paper:

First, ordinary heat-sensitive label paper

Characteristics: Ordinary thermal label paper is usually not waterproof, and its material characteristics determine that it may lose readability and stability in a humid environment.

Application scenario: Due to its cheap price, ordinary thermal label paper is widely used in general retail, bar code printing, logistics and transportation. However, some specific environments in these areas, such as humid environments, may require better water resistance of the label paper.

Two, three heat-sensitive label paper

Features: The heat-resistant label paper is made of special materials and has good waterproof performance. It is able to maintain the clarity and readability of the label in wet environments, and will not blur or fall off due to moisture. In addition, the heat-proof label paper is usually oil-proof, alcohol-proof and other characteristics, which can maintain the clarity and durability of the label in a variety of harsh environments.

Application scenario: Heat-proof labels are widely used in harsh environment scenarios that require long-term storage, such as logistics, warehousing, medical treatment, and retail, due to their excellent waterproof, oil-proof, and alcohol-proof properties.

Three, long-term three heat-sensitive label paper

Features: Long-acting thermal label paper is a higher level of label paper, it not only has all the characteristics of thermal label paper, but also has better wear resistance and longer storage time. Its heat-sensitive coating is covered with a protective layer that keeps the information legible under different environmental conditions.

Application scenario: Long-acting heat-sensitive label paper is suitable for occasions where label clarity and readability need to be maintained for a long time, such as food packaging, drug management, cosmetics industry, etc.

Four, waterproof color heat-sensitive label paper

Features: Waterproof color thermal label paper combines waterproof, color and thermal printing technology, using a special waterproof coating treatment, can effectively prevent water penetration into the label paper. At the same time, it supports color printing, which can present rich colors and patterns, making the label more eye-catching and beautiful.

Application scenario: Waterproof color thermal label paper is especially suitable for occasions where clarity and color brightness need to be maintained for a long time, such as food packaging, drug management, cosmetics industry, etc.

In summary, the water resistance of thermal label paper varies according to its type. Ordinary thermal label paper is usually not waterproof, while three thermal label paper, long-acting three thermal label paper and waterproof color thermal label paper have good waterproof performance. When selecting thermal label paper, select the appropriate type according to the specific application scenario and requirements.
