Consultations on choosing the optimal type of labels and configuring equipment to achieve the best printing results.
Types of thermal labels and their applications
Thermal labels are divided into two main types depending on the printing technology and specific use. Each type has its own advantages and optimal areas of application.
The choice of thermal label type depends on the storage period of the information, operating conditions and the type of printer used. The wrong choice can lead to premature loss of information or poor print quality.
ECO thermal labels (direct thermal printing)
ECO labels are designed for direct thermal printing without the use of thermal transfer ribbon. The thermosensitive layer on the label surface darkens under the influence of heat from the printer's thermal head, creating an image.
- Economical to use - no need for thermal transfer ribbon
- Print speed - minimum time to replace consumables
- Ideal for short-term storage of information
- Optimal for logistics labels and temporary marking
- Sensitive to ultraviolet light and high temperatures
TOP thermal labels (thermal transfer printing)
TOP labels are used with a thermal transfer ribbon, which transfers the dye to the label surface under the influence of heat.
- Image durability - resistance to fading and abrasion
- Resistance to external factors - temperature, humidity, chemicals
- High print quality - clear lines and fine text
- Suitable for long-term storage
- Ideal for archival labeling and inventory
Technical characteristics of thermal labels
Areas of application of thermal labels
Thermal labels have found wide application in various sectors of the economy due to their versatility and efficiency. The main areas of use include logistics, retail, warehousing and manufacturing.
Logistics and warehousing
In logistics centers, thermal labels are used to mark cargo, track the movement of goods, and automate warehouse operations. Their printing speed and ability to integrate with warehouse management systems make them indispensable for efficient logistics.
Retail
In stores, thermal labels are used to print price tags, labels with product weight and price, as well as to mark products with their own barcodes. They are especially popular in supermarkets and retail chains.
Production
In manufacturing plants, thermal labels are used for marking finished products, tracking production stages, and quality control. Integration with production systems allows for automation of labeling processes.

Frequently asked questions about thermal labels
- What is the difference between ECO and TOP thermal labels?ECO labels are used for direct thermal printing without a ribbon and are suitable for short-term use. TOP labels require a thermal transfer ribbon, but provide durability and image stability.
- How long is the information stored on thermal labels?ECO labels retain information for 3-6 months under normal storage conditions. TOP labels can retain information for years when stored properly and using quality ribbon.
- Is it possible to produce non-standard size thermal labels?Yes, we produce thermal labels of any size according to your technical requirements. The minimum order quantity for non-standard sizes is specified individually.
- Which printers are suitable for printing on thermal labels?Thermal labels are compatible with all types of thermal printers: mobile, desktop and industrial. It is important to correctly set the temperature and print speed according to the type of labels.
- How to store thermal labels to maintain quality?Thermal labels should be stored in a dry place at a temperature of 15-25°C, avoiding direct sunlight and contact with chemicals. Rolls are best stored in an upright position.
- What is the minimum order quantity for thermal labels?The minimum order quantity depends on the size and type of labels. For standard sizes, the minimum order is 10-20 rolls. Exact conditions are specified when placing an order.
- Do you provide technical support for printer setup?Yes, our specialists provide full technical support, including consultations on printer setup, selecting optimal printing parameters, and resolving technical issues.
