Adhesive Labels specialise in manufacturing thermal printer labels for commercial and industrial use.  Our thermal printed labels are widely used in various industries due to their efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and suitability for different applications. Thermal printers come in two types: Direct Thermal and Thermal Transfer.

This choice is primarily based on the longevity of the label, tag, or receipt you want to print. Direct Thermal labels have a lifespan of between six months and a year. They print, without a ribbon, because the label’s coating is basically heat-activated. The printhead makes the label coating turn black wherever you determine. Barcodes are sharp as well as text. (Most shipping labels air printed using Direct Thermal material).

If you’re looking for a more permanent label or even and an extremely durable label, your choice will be a Thermal Transfer Label, printed on a Thermal Transfer printer. This process requires you to use a Thermal Transfer Ribbon. The ribbon and label material come together inside the printhead and the image you want is pressed/heated onto the label material.

Direct Thermal Labels:

• Direct thermal  are ideal for applications such as shipping labels, receipts, tickets, and temporary labels.

Thermal Transfer Labels:

• Thermal transfer labels are commonly used for product labels, asset tags, inventory labels, and labels for outdoor use.
