Thermal label paper is a special type of label paper that is capable of displaying images or text through thermal printing technology. The surface of this paper is coated with a heat-sensitive material, and when this material is heated to a certain temperature, a chemical reaction occurs, which changes the color and reveals the printed content.
Thermal label paper is widely used in a variety of occasions, including but not limited to:
1. Retail: for printing price labels, product information, etc.
2. Logistics industry: used to print bar codes and track package information.
3. Medical industry: Used for printing drug labels, patient information, etc.
4. Food industry: used to print the shelf life, ingredients and other information of food.
The advantages of thermal label paper include fast printing speed, low cost, and no need for consumables such as ink or toner. However, they also have some drawbacks, such as print quality may not be as good as traditional printing methods, and thermal materials are sensitive to light and heat and may fade over time.
