Thermal paper self-adhesive is a common type of label material

Thermal paper self-adhesive mainly consists of base paper, thermal sensitive coating, protective coating, pressure-sensitive adhesive and silicone oil paper. The base paper, as the fundamental support part, is usually made of high-quality paper to provide the necessary support and strength for the entire label. The thermosensitive coating contains thermosensitive materials, which will change color when heated and is a key part for realizing the function of printing information. The protective coating plays a crucial role in safeguarding the thermosensitive coating and can effectively prevent it from being affected by external factors such as friction and moisture.

The pressure-sensitive adhesive on the back of thermal paper is the key to enabling labels to be firmly adhered to the surfaces of various objects. Its performance directly determines the adhesion effect and durability of the labels. Silicone oil paper is mainly used to protect the self-adhesive layer. When using the label, it can be peeled off and the label can be smoothly adhered to the target object.

Thermal paper self-adhesive has significant advantages in printing. It does not require ink. With the heating element of a thermal printer, it can directly print clear text, images, barcodes and other information on thermal paper. This printing method is not only fast but also extremely simple to operate. Compared with some printing methods that require ink or carbon ribbons, the printing cost of thermal paper self-adhesive is relatively low, making it particularly suitable for scenarios where a large number of labels are printed.

Meanwhile, thermal paper self-adhesive can achieve a relatively high printing resolution, and the printed text and images have high clarity, which greatly improves the readability and recognition rate of the labels. In terms of adhesive performance, the self-adhesive layer has good adhesion and can be firmly adhered to the surfaces of various materials such as plastic, metal and paper, and is not easy to fall off within a certain period of time. However, thermal paper itself has some drawbacks. It has poor water resistance and is easily damaged by water immersion. Its tolerance to some chemical substances is also relatively weak.

Thermal paper self-adhesive has a wide range of applications. In the field of logistics, it is often used for printing labels on goods, such as express tracking numbers and logistics labels, to facilitate the tracking and management of goods. In the business field, price tags and promotional labels for goods can be produced, and product information can be quickly printed and updated. It is also frequently used in the medical field, such as for making drug labels, patient information labels, test report labels, etc., to meet the strict requirements of the medical industry for the accuracy and clarity of labels. In the office field, it can be used for file classification tags, archive tags, etc., facilitating the organization and management of files.

Thermal paper self-adhesive is an ideal choice for express delivery waybills and warehouse labels. On the sorting assembly line, thermal printers can instantly complete the printing of waybills, which well meets the requirements of high-speed operations. The wear resistance of the labels can also ensure the completeness of information during transportation and reduce the risk of wrong items. In scenarios such as supermarkets, cashier receipts, electronic price tags, and food expiration date labels, thermal paper self-adhesive labels have been widely used due to their lightweight and environmentally friendly features. Its instant printing capability can quickly respond to promotional price adjustments, while the waterproof and oil-resistant version can adapt to refrigerated cabinets or damp environments. In the medical industry, thermal labels are used for test tubes and drug packaging. Their alcohol-resistant wiping property meets the disinfection requirements. In industrial Settings, equipment inspection labels or short-term warning signs can withstand oily environments and leave no residue after being removed. When in use, it is necessary to ensure that the resolution of the thermal printer is compatible with the sensitivity of the paper. In high-speed sorting scenarios, it is recommended to use highly sensitive paper to prevent printing blurriness. Medical or fine labels can be paired with high-precision print heads to enhance the clarity of graphics and text.

Thermal paper self-adhesive, with its convenient, economical and efficient characteristics, plays an important role in many fields and provides great convenience for the identification and management of information.
