Thermal labels for EAN barcode printers


Thermal labels for EAN barcode printers

 
Thermal direct and thermal transfer labels are special labels for barcode label printers. These labels are available in a huge number of different sizes to match the customers requirements. Two different types of labels are available, thermal-direct and thermal-transfer labels, depending on the technology of your barcode printer.
 
Are there different qualities of barcode printer labels?
 
Basically, two different technologies are available to print your barcodes. Direct thermal printers use a printhead to generate heat which causes a chemical reaction in a specially designed paper. Due to the heat, the paper turns black. Thermal transfer printers also use heat, but instead of reacting the paper, the heat melts a wax or resin ribbon that runs over the label material.
 
Comparing these two technologies, one can say that the direct thermal printers are slightly cheaper, however, the printing accessories are a little more expensive due to the special paper. On the other hand, especially for large quantities, the direct thermal printers are not recommended as the printing head can be damaged faster. Another disadvantage of the direct thermal printers is that the labels become illegible if exposed to heat, direct sunlight or chemical vapors.
 
Besides there are still other materials like, for example, the plastic foils which can be printed with a barcode printer. Please send us your inquiry, we will be glad to send you our quotation.
 
Another distinction between labels is the adhesion. Basically two different adhesions are available. Permanent labels have a very good adhesion for labeling metals, glas, china and other material. Peelable or removable labels are used for stationaries or materials, where the goods must not be damaged when removing the label.
 
Regarding the size of the labels, almost any size can be manufactured to your requirements. In total, more then 120 different sizes are available. 20 different sizes are available off-the-shelf covering most of the standard requirements.
