Which material is suitable for making food labels, thermal label paper or copperplate paper

Thermal label paper and copperplate paper are both used in the field of food labeling, but their characteristics and applicable scenarios are different. The following is a detailed analysis of these two materials:

Thermal label paper

characteristic

Low cost, easy to print, no need to use carbon ribbon or ink.

Temperature sensitive, printed content will develop color when heated, therefore it has the characteristic of easy fading.

Widely applicable and suitable for various occasions that require fast printing of labels.

Applicable scenarios

Short term food labels, such as price tags on supermarket shelves, quick packaging labels for food, etc.

Low temperature refrigeration or freezing of food, because thermal paper is not easily spoiled or peeled off at low temperatures.

Occasions that require frequent label replacement, such as food labels in promotional activities.

art paper

characteristic

Smooth paper, good printing effect, able to present clear text and patterns.

Waterproof and oil resistant properties are relatively good, and can resist a certain degree of liquid erosion.

Good durability, the label is not easily faded or peeled off.

Applicable scenarios

Long term use of food labels, such as information labels on food packaging, shelf life labels, etc.

In situations where detailed information is required, such as food ingredients, nutritional information, production date, etc.

In situations where label integrity needs to be maintained under various environmental conditions, such as humid or greasy environments.

comprehensive analysis

For food labels that require short-term use, fast printing, and low cost, thermal label paper is a good choice.

For food labels that require long-term use, display detailed information, and require good durability and waterproof/oil resistance, copperplate paper is more suitable.

In summary, when selecting food label materials, comprehensive consideration should be given based on specific needs. If you need fast printing and low cost, you can choose thermal label paper; If long-term storage is required and the label needs to have good performance, copperplate paper can be chosen.
