What are the different materials of thermal label paper?

Thermal label paper mainly has the following different materials:

Primary thermal paper: This is the most common thermal label paper material, which is treated with a high thermal sensitive coating, and the highly sensitive surface material can be applied to the low voltage print head, and the wear of the print head is small. This thermal paper is widely used in various occasions that require instant printing labels, such as supermarkets, convenience stores and so on.

Synthetic paper: Synthetic paper is a kind of label paper that can not be torn, and has strong durability. When it is combined with thermal technology, it forms a thermal synthetic label, which has both the functions of a thermal label and the durability of synthetic paper.

Coated paper: Although coated paper itself is not thermal paper, it is often used as a universal label paper for multi-color product labels. However, coated paper cannot be used for thermal printer printing, but requires a carbon strip printer for printing.

In addition, while materials such as PET and PVC are also commonly used to make labels, they are usually not directly combined with heat-sensitive technology. These materials are more commonly used to make labels that require greater durability and adaptability to specific environments, such as water, oil, or high temperature resistance.

In general, the material choice of thermal label paper mainly depends on the specific application scenarios and needs. For example, where instant printing is required and the durability of the label is not high, you can choose native thermal paper; When the label is required to have a higher durability, you can choose a heat-sensitive synthetic label or a label of a material such as PET/PVC. At the time of purchase, it is recommended to consult professionals or suppliers according to actual needs to choose the right material.
