When the direct thermal labels pass over the thermal print head, the heated portions react chemically and produce the desired image. Because the paper has been chemically treated to change color when heated. It is user-friendly, cost-effective, and ecologically beneficial because it does not need ink, toner, or printer ribbons. They are frequently used for labels that are only required for a limited period of time. Our collection of direct thermal color labels is available in 2.25" x 1.25"; 2" x 2"; 4" x 6"; and more.

Scratching the paper with your fingernail is the easiest way to identify if it is thermal paper. To ensure you have the right thermal paper, conduct a scratch test on both sides and see if you can see the black marks. If, after scratching, you don't see any black dots or marks on either side, then it is not thermal paper.

The direct thermal printing technique produces printed labels that are most effective for short-term uses. Depending on the kind of label material and the application environment, they have very limited lifespans (usually six to nine months). Due to the heat sensitivity of the label materials, prolonged exposure to heat and ultraviolet (UV) light will eventually cause the printed image to fade. Our collection of direct thermal color labels is available in pink, mint, white, Very Peri, and more.

Color direct thermal labels are used for short- to medium-term labeling purposes in numerous industries, including food service, retail, medicines, and transportation. Shipping labels, mailing labels, name tags, barcodes, and passes are all examples of direct thermal labels. As direct thermal printing technology advances, it is anticipated to be used in a broader range of industrial applications. Our collection of direct thermal color labels is available in 2.25" x 1.25"; 2" x 2"; 4" x 6"; and more.
