About Labels Labels are indispensable tools for identification, organization, and tracking. Sheet labels come in standard letter-sized sheets for standard home and office printers, accommodating a myriad of different uses. Thermal labels are used with thermal printers, which employ heat to print messages on the label and are ideal for quick, high-volume printing. Both types offer the convenience of easy application and strong adhesion, catering to a wide range of personal and professional labeling needs. About Direct Thermal Labels Direct Thermal Labels darken when passed under the thermal printhead of a direct thermal printer, eliminating the need for ink, toner, or a thermal transfer ribbon. The high throughput capability of this printing technology makes it perfect for fast-paced industries like logistics, retail, and healthcare, where efficiency and speed are paramount. These labels are designed to endure rough handling, environmental exposure, and scanning processes, ensuring reliability and readability. Direct Thermal Printing Roll & Fanfold High Throughput Quality Adhesive Key Features Direct Thermal Printing Direct thermal labels use a specialized printing process that involves heat-sensitive material. When passed through a thermal printer, the printhead heats up and directly applies heat to the label surface, causing a chemical reaction that turns the label black where it is heated. This process eliminates the need for ink, toner, or a ribbon for a low-maintenance labeling option. Roll & Fanfold Direct thermal labels are available in both roll and fanfold formats. Roll labels are wound around a core, making them compatible with a wide range of thermal printers for continuous printing, which is ideal for high-volume environments. Fanfold labels, on the other hand, are stacked and folded along perforations, offering the advantage of a lower profile and easier storage. High Throughput Designed for high throughput environments, direct thermal labels are perfect for businesses that require fast and efficient label printing. The direct thermal process allows for quick printing without the need for ink or toner, reducing downtime and increasing productivity. This makes them especially suitable for logistics, retail, and other industries where speed is critical. Quality Adhesive Direct thermal labels come with a quality adhesive backing that ensures they stay securely in place once applied. This adhesive is designed to work on a variety of surfaces, including cardboard, plastic, and metal. It provides a strong bond that is resistant to peeling, curling, and slipping, making it reliable for shipping and inventory tracking. Use Cases Small Business Small businesses benefit from the cost-effectiveness and ease of use of direct thermal labels, especially for point-of-sale applications, price tagging, and inventory labeling. They can quickly print labels for products, including price, product information, and barcodes, facilitating smoother transactions and inventory tracking. Manufacturing In manufacturing, direct thermal labels are used extensively for tracking parts and products throughout the production process. They are ideal for creating barcodes, serial numbers, and other critical information that can be quickly printed and applied to individual items, bins, or shelves. This facilitates real-time inventory management and quality control. Office In the office, direct thermal labels streamline the management of documents, mail, and assets. The convenience of direct thermal printing allows office staff to produce labels on demand, reducing waste and improving efficiency. The clarity of the print ensures that mail is properly addressed, and files are easily identifiable, keeping the office organized and productive. Warehouse In warehouses, direct thermal labels are crucial for managing inventory, tracking shipments, and coordinating logistics. The labels are used to mark bins, pallets, and shelves, making it easier to locate items and manage stock levels. They are also used for shipping labels, packing slips, and pick tickets, essential for accurate order fulfillment and efficient logistics.
