Direct Thermal Labels

Direct thermal labels are frequently used by grocers to print food information - for example meat products or items to be frozen. Direct thermal labels use no ink. Instead, the printer uses heat-sensitive material that turns black when exposed to the thermal printhead.

Direct Thermal Label Tips

When considering direct thermal labels, think about the environment in which they'll be used. Thermal media images and text may fade if they become overexposed to heat and light.
  • Direct thermal labels are ideally suited to groceries because they tend to not be overexposed to heat and light, and have a shorter shelf life.
  • While using a direct thermal printer yields only black print, we can pre-print your company logo or other design on the label stock.
  • Images and text are "burned" onto direct thermal media.
