THERMAL TRANSFER RIBBONS REQUIRED TO PRINT

What are Thermal Transfer Labels made of?

Thermal transfer labels are mostly converted with coated materials designed to print with thermal transfer printers using thermal transfer ribbons. The three main components are face, adhesive, and liner. The most common types of face stocks are paper, polypropylene, or polyester, backed with acrylic, rubber-based, hybrid, or other forms of pressure-sensitive adhesive.

How long do Thermal Transfer Labels last?

Most label manufacturers suggest a shelf life of one year when stored in the recommended environment. Some specialized materials provide longer life. However, once the label is being printed and used, its shelf life depends on the application and the elements it may get exposed to. Our label specialists are here to answer the concerns you may have.

What Core Size Do I Need for My Desktop Printer?

Thermal Transfer Labels are stocked on default-sized rolls of 6” or 8” O.D. x 3” core but can be easily converted for desktop printers. To convert rolls:

After selecting your product, choose the option to convert the roll from the default size to 4” O.D. x 1” Core.
When selecting the quantity, the number you enter will reflect how many 3” core rolls will be converted into 4” O.D. x 1” core rolls. For example, the order quantity of 2 rolls on a 3” core equates to 8 rolls of 4” O.D. x 1” core or a quantity of two 4-Roll Packs.
