Direct thermal labels vs. thermal transfer labels

 USEFUL INFORMATION

 

Do you sometimes wonder what the difference between direct thermal and thermal transfer is? And which of the two suits your activities best?

Each type of label has its advantages and disadvantages and below we explain the difference so that you will be able to use the most beneficial labels.

Direct thermal labels


Direct thermal labels A direct thermal label printer is required for these labels. These labels have a special layer where the printer is able to apply heat to the label, causing the information it needs to appear on the label.
So the advantage is that you don't need a ribbon to print on the labels, so it's cheaper. At the same time, this type of printing is more suitable for a shorter service life because, due to wear and tear, it can have long-term negative effects on the legibility of the labels.

 

There are two types of direct thermal labels, namely ECO and TOP material in different colors and sizes.
The labels made of ECO material are suitable for single use, with a maximum lifespan of 1 year, provided that they are stored in a dark place at a constant temperature of 20-22 ° C. In addition, they do not have a protective layer against UV radiation, moisture, fats and alcohol. The labels made of TOP material, on the other hand, have a protective layer against UV radiation, moisture, fats and alcohol. That is why they have a maximum lifespan of 2 years, provided that they are stored in a dark place at a constant temperature of 20-22 ° C.

 

Do you need shipping labels or do you have goods / products with a high circulation speed? Then our inexpensive direct thermal labels are perfect for you!

 

Thermal transfer labels


Thermal transfer labels are printed with a ribbon inside a thermal transfer label printer. These labels do not have a special layer, but are printed with normal ink. The ribbon is heated in the printer so that the required printing is placed on the paper. The advantage of this printing technique is that your labels will remain legible and clear for a very long time. However, you will need a permanent ribbon to print on the labels.

 

Do your goods / products have a low circulation speed of more than 2 years? Then we strongly recommend that you use our labels! We also offer inexpensive ribbons if you need new ones again!

 

 So take a look around our website and benefit from our direct thermal and / or thermal transfer labels for efficient application of the labels you are using!

  Air conditioner: Dry Mode Air Conditioner: What is a Dry Mode?   Have you tried all the features of your air conditioner? Looking at the remote control or display, you may be confused as to what some of the features mean and how they improve your air quality. In addition to regulating the temperature inside your home, air conditioners are also effective at removing unpleasant humidity.

In this guide, we will introduce the Dry Mode and how it enhances our comfort and air quality. What is Dry Mode? Dry mode is usually shown as a water drop symbol on the remote control. It is usually used during the rainy season or on humid days when the humidity is higher and the temperature is still high. In other words, dry mode works like a dehumidifier to remove moisture from the air. This not only makes the air fresher but also prevents mould and allergens from...

In short, the application of paper in our lives can be said to be very extensive. Today we come to understand the difference between corrugated paper and kraft paper, are they two different types of paper? Can they be applied to each other? 1.     The difference between corrugated paper and kraft paper:   Corrugated paper is a board formed by bonding liner paper and corrugated paper formed by corrugated stick processing. Corrugated paper can be divided into five different types. Compared with kraft paper, corrugated paper has many advantages of its own. The cost of corrugated paper is relatively low, the quality is relatively light, and the processing paper is relatively simple. It is not very high, and another feature is that the paper is relatively strong, and it is more ...
