Thermal Transfer Labels

The primary benefit of thermal transfer labels is the ability to produce long-lasting labels with sharp, readable impressions.

Thermal transfer labels are designed to withstand long application times, direct sunlight and other hostile conditions better than other printing methods. We highly recommend you consider thermal transfer labels for operations requiring a high degree of sharpness, crisp barcodes, fine print, long lifespan and exposure to heat or direct sunlight.

Our premium coated ultra-smooth white thermal transfer label face stock is designed for use in standard and high-speed thermal transfer printers. Our thermal transfer label stock is coated to effectively accept the image from the ribbon. Optimum barcode scanning is achieved through the use of our premium face stocks that feature enhanced brightness and reflective values and our label/ribbon combination offers excellent resistance to abrasion and smearing. Please call our qualified and helpful salespeople to help with your thermal transfer label application.

We recommend the use of thermal transfer labels for applications where:

• An extended label life greater than a year is required
• The label will be exposed to continuous, direct sunlight
• The label will be exposed to high temperatures
• The label will be subjected to various harsh environmental conditions
• A clear, clean, sharp print quality is required
