Direct Thermal vs Thermal Transfer Label Selection

MORE INFO

Direct thermal labels print without a ribbon, keeping printing costs low and maintenance simple for high-volume shipping and inventory applications where label life of a few months is sufficient. Thermal transfer labels require a ribbon but produce a much more durable image that resists heat, UV, chemicals, and abrasion, making them the right choice for labels that need to remain readable for extended periods in demanding environments.

Label Format for Your Printer and Application

MORE INFO

Shipping applications typically use 4x6-inch labels, which is the standard format for all major carrier systems and fits the output format of most thermal label printers. Inventory and barcode labels run in smaller formats between 1x1 and 4x2 inches depending on the amount of information and barcode density required. Pallet identification labels use larger formats to ensure readability at normal warehouse scanning distances.

Core Size and Roll Dimensions for Your Printer

MORE INFO

Label rolls are wound on cores in standard one-inch and three-inch inner diameters. Most desktop thermal printers use one-inch cores, while industrial and high-volume thermal printers use three-inch cores to accommodate larger roll diameters and longer roll lengths that reduce changeover frequency on high-throughput lines. Verify your printer core size before ordering to avoid incompatible rolls.
