Direct Thermal Labels are printed by thermal printers by applying heat directly to the label material. The material is coated with a heat-sensitive layer, which darkens when exposed to the printer’s thermal print head. Eliminating the need for ink, toner, or ribbons, direct thermal labels are ideal for short-term applications.
Permanent direct thermal labels are commonly used in various industries, including retail, logistics, and healthcare, for tasks such as barcoding, shipping, and product labelling which require a permanent application.
