For cold chain logistics, transparent thermal labels need to have the following key characteristics to ensure clear readability of information and durability of labels in extreme environments such as low temperatures and humidity:
1. Low temperature resistance
Withstand low temperature environment: Labels in cold chain logistics need to be able to withstand extremely low temperatures to ensure that they will not deform, fall off or lose viscosity in freezing, refrigeration and other environments.
Stability: Under low temperature conditions, the material and printed content of the label paper should remain stable, and do not fade or blur.
2. Waterproof and moisture-proof
Excellent waterproof performance: Wet environments are often involved in cold chain logistics, so the label paper must have excellent waterproof performance to prevent water erosion resulting in fuzzy information or label damage.
Moisture resistance: The label paper should be able to maintain the integrity and clarity of the label in a high humidity environment, ensuring that the information can be read for a long time.
3. Durability
Wear resistance: Labels in cold chain logistics may undergo multiple handling and stacking operations. Therefore, labels must have good wear resistance to prevent damage during friction.
Scratch resistance: Ensure that the printed content on the label surface is not easily scratched off, and maintain the long-term readability of the information.
4. Clarity and print quality
High definition: The label paper should be able to clearly print a variety of information, including text, bar codes, two-dimensional codes, etc., to ensure that it is accurate when scanned or manually recognized.
Stable print quality: Under different printing conditions, the print quality of the label paper should be stable, without color difference, blurring and other problems.
5. Adhesion
Strong viscosity: The label paper needs to have enough viscosity to ensure that it can be firmly pasted on the package in a low temperature and humid environment and is not easy to fall off.
Adapt to different surfaces: The packaging materials in cold chain logistics are diverse, and the label paper should be able to adapt to various surface materials to provide stable adhesion effect.
6. Environmental protection
Environmentally friendly materials: With the improvement of environmental awareness, more and more enterprises tend to choose label paper made of environmentally friendly materials. For cold chain logistics, the choice of recyclable or degradable transparent thermal label paper can reduce the impact on the environment.
7. Cost effectiveness
Economical: Under the premise of ensuring quality, choosing a relatively low cost transparent thermal label paper helps to reduce the operating costs of enterprises.
In summary, for cold chain logistics, transparent thermal label paper needs to have the characteristics of low temperature resistance, water and moisture resistance, durability, clarity and print quality, adhesion, environmental protection and cost effectiveness. Together, these features will ensure the stability and reliability of the label in the cold chain logistics process.
