Definition and Characteristics of Transparent Thermal Label Paper

Transparent thermal sensitive label paper is a special material commonly used for product identification. The following is a detailed introduction to the definition and characteristics of transparent thermal sensitive label paper:

1、 Definition

Transparent thermal label paper, as the name suggests, is a type of thermal label paper with transparent or semi transparent properties. It has undergone special treatment and is coated with a layer of heat sensitive dye on the surface. Through the heating effect of the print head, it can directly generate text, patterns, and other information on the surface of the label paper. This printing method does not rely on traditional ink or toner, and has the characteristics of being fast, clean, and efficient.

2、 Characteristics

Transparency or Translucency: Transparent thermal sensitive label paper can be selected with appropriate transparency according to needs. Fully transparent or semi transparent PET label paper can be used in different application scenarios to meet the identification needs of different products.

Water resistance and high temperature resistance: Due to the use of PET material, transparent thermal sensitive label paper has good water resistance and high temperature resistance, which can maintain the clarity and adhesion of the label in humid or high temperature environments.

High sensitivity: The highly sensitive surface material of transparent thermal sensitive label paper can be applied to low-voltage print heads, with minimal wear on the print heads, extending the service life of the printer.

Good adhesion: The back adhesive of transparent thermal label paper has good adhesion, which can be firmly attached to the product and can be removed cleanly when needed without leaving any residue.

Wide printing applicability: Transparent thermal label paper is suitable for various printer models, whether it is laser printing or inkjet printing, and can achieve good printing results.

Environmental friendliness: Some transparent thermal sensitive label paper can be washed with water, and this type of label paper is easy to separate from PET bottles during the recycling process, which meets environmental requirements.

In summary, transparent thermal label paper plays an important role in the field of product labeling due to its unique transparency or semi transparency, water and high temperature resistance, high sensitivity, good adhesion, wide printing applicability, and environmental friendliness.
