Direct thermal paper labels do not require ribbons. They are coated with a heat sensitive material that turns dark when they pass through the printhead of your thermal printer. They are generally used for short term applications like shipping/ handling, inventory control and laboratory applications. Our premium direct thermal paper labels are coated with either permanent or removable adhesive.  Permanent adhesive offers great adhesion to smooth plastic, glass, paper and corrugated cardboard surfaces, while removable adhesive allows the label to be removed cleanly without leaving a trace. These labels can come on 3" cores for industrial thermal printers, 1" cores for desktop thermal printers and 3/4" cores for mobile thermal printers.

Do you need a more durable direct thermal label that offers some moisture and chemical resistance? Please see our direct thermal polypropylene label option.

Do you need to customize these labels with your logo or message pre-printed? Please request a quote and provide as much detail as possible so we can offer an accurate and competitive quote.
