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.
Direct thermal labels with removable adhesive are recommended for applications where labels need to be easily removed without leaving sticky residue. Removable adhesive ensures that the labels can be peeled off cleanly from surfaces making them ideal for temporary labelling needs such as cabinetry and joinery and retail pricing applications.
