How to choose the right thermal label paper

When choosing the right thermal label paper, the following key factors need to be considered:

Application scenario:

Indoor or outdoor use: Outdoor environments may require water resistance, UV resistance, heat resistance and cold resistance.

Printing content: When you need to print multiple colors and complex patterns, choose high-resolution label paper; If you only need to print simple text and bar codes, you can choose general label paper.

Adhesion environment:

Adhesion surface type: If the label needs to be adhered to the metal surface, the label paper with corrosion resistance and wear resistance should be selected; If adhered to paper products, you can choose general label paper.

Quality and Cost:

Quality: High quality thermal label paper may be more expensive, but it can provide better stability and printing effect, ensuring work efficiency and finished product quality.

Cost: Price is one of the important factors to consider when choosing label paper, but it should not be the only factor. We need to consider the cost performance comprehensively.

Paper and thermal coating quality:

Thermal coatings: High quality thermal coatings have higher sensitivity, enabling more accurate recording and display of information.

Paper quality: Good paper has higher stiffness and water resistance, which can better protect the heat-sensitive coating.

Specification size:

Thermal label paper is usually sold in roll form, common specifications such as 80mm x 60mm, 57mm x 50mm, etc. The appropriate size should be selected according to the printer model and application requirements.

Storage time:

The storage time of thermal paper is affected by a number of factors, including thermal coating quality, protective coating uniformity, paper quality, and storage conditions. High quality thermal paper can be stored longer under suitable storage conditions (avoid direct sunlight, high temperature and high humidity environment).

To sum up, the selection of the appropriate thermal label paper needs to consider multiple factors such as application scenarios, adhesion environment, quality and cost, paper and thermal coating quality, size and storage time. By carefully evaluating these aspects, you can choose the most suitable thermal label paper for your needs.
