Description
Thermal stickers are used for a variety of purposes, including:
Product identification
In manufacturing and retail, thermal stickers help identify products.
Inventory management
Thermal stickers are used to track and manage inventory in warehouses and distribution centers.
Shipping labels
Thermal stickers are used to provide clear and reliable shipping information.
Packaging
Thermal stickers are often used for packaging because they are cost-effective and use heat instead of ink to print.
When choosing thermal stickers, you can consider things like:
Environmental factors
If the stickers will be exposed to the elements, you may need a thermal transfer synthetic material.
Lifespan
The lifespan of the sticker depends on how long it needs to be readable and the environmental factors it will be exposed to.
Print speed
The material and ribbon you choose will affect the maximum print speed.
Print darkness
Increasing the print darkness can improve the print quality and barcode ANSI grades when printing at faster speeds.
Dots per inch (DPI)
When printing formats with small fonts or detailed graphics, you may need to print at 600 DPI.
Thermal stickers can fade over time if exposed to heat or light. The quality of the thermal paper used can also affect the longevity and readability of the stickers.
