Thermal Transfer Labels
RIBBON REQUIRED TO PRINT
Thermal transfer labels are designed for applications that require longer shelf life with printed content being legible for over six months or fading and discoloration of the label is not an option. The three major materials for thermal transfer printer labels are paper, polyester, and polypropylene, equipped with pressure-sensitive adhesive.Paper
Intended for thermal transfer printing, Thermal Transfer Paper Labels are the most economical and common choice for your thermal transfer printer. Thermal Transfer Paper Labels will tear and require wax or wax/resin ribbons to print. Paper material comes with a different adhesive, including Permanent, High-Tack (Rubber-based), Removable, and Ultra-Removable. Paper material with Piggyback construction allows the label to be transferable. Opaque Blackout label comes with an opaque barrier coating and is an excellent choice for covering unwanted or old information. Kraft Block Out label has a natural brown finish, while the printability is limited, it gives a vintage look to the printing. The Dissolvable Paper label is converted with a water-soluble paper paired with dissolvable adhesive. It washes away in as little as 30 seconds, making it suitable for the foodservice industry, nursing homes, and healthcare establishments.Complete price lists for Paper Labels can be found by visiting these categories:
