Thermal Direct Labels
What Are Thermal Direct Labels?
Thermal Direct Labels are made from materials such as paper or synthetic base that have a chemical layer applied to it. This chemical layer is then activated by heat. When the label is printed through a direct thermal printer, the small elements on the printer heat up and activate parts of the chemical layer to create the required image. Thermal Direct is a fast and popular printing method that has low operational costs, making it perfect for businesses of any size. Thermal direct printing is a fast, cost-effective method of label printing that is suited to a wide range of products and industries. insignia recognizes your business' need for high-quality products, and so only offer the very best thermal direct labels and printers from industry-leading brands.
What Are Thermal Direct Labels Used For?
Direct thermal labels can be used for a variety of different products. Historically, they have commonly been used for meat, poultry and dairy products. However, improvements in thermal paper and direct thermal printers have made the technology a better fit for products in nearly any market. Barcodes, coupons, GHS-compliant labels and event tickets are now common uses for thermal direct labels.
Do Thermal Direct Labels Need Ink?
As mentioned, a direct thermal printer prints by applying heat to the direct thermal material. Therefore, thermal direct labels does not require any ribbon, ink or toner, but it does require a special & specific type of heat-sensitive material that blackens when heat is applied.
How Does Direct Thermal Printing Work?
Direct thermal printing uses heat-sensitive label materials that, when activated by heat, cause a change in colour in the material to create a printed image. Though this method results in a more sensitive label with a shorter lifespan than those printed using thermal transfer, removing the need for transfer ribbon also reduces the costs and time concerns associated with thermal transfer printing. Effectively, this means that direct thermal printing is perfect for applications that are stored away from direct sunlight with an expected life of less than 1 year – such as in the freight, retail, and food industries. Thermal direct printing is fast, accurate, and perfect for printing in high-resolution at high volumes.
What Are The Benefits Of Using Thermal Direct Labels?
There are many benefits to using thermal direct labels. One benefit is that they are very durable and can withstand high temperatures. This makes them ideal for use in high-temperature environments, such as in the food and beverage industry. Thermal direct labels are also very resistant to water and oil, making them ideal for use in wet or oily environments. Another benefit of thermal direct labels is that they can be printed on very thin materials, such as foil. insignia offers an exhaustive range of stocked and custom-produced thermal direct labels that come in all shapes and sizes so that your business will certainly find a product that will suit your needs.
