What Are The Differences Between Thermal Paper Labels And Coated Paper Labels?

Self-adhesive label paper is a composite material made of paper, film or special materials, coated with adhesive on the back, and coated with silicon protective paper as the background. Because it does not need to brush glue, no paste, no dip in water, no pollution, save labeling time and other advantages, it is widely used in all walks of life. At present, the most commonly used labels on the market are thermal paper labels and coated paper labels. But what's the difference between thermal paper labels and coated paper labels? Today we're going to learn about it.

1.The storage time of coated paper labels is longer than that of thermal paper labels

Generally, the storage time of coated paper labels is about 2 years, but thermal paper labels due to their own attributes, resulting in the storage time of thermal paper labels is only about half a year, although the material is better and the longest thermal paper is only saved for about a year, so when buying labels, you need to decide according to the storage time of the goods you attach. For example, the goods you paste are the outer packaging of bread, and the storage time is only two or three days, at this time you can use the label of thermal paper material, but if the product you paste is an outer box and requires storage time of more than 1 year, then you need to select coated paper labels, such as electronic products exported to foreign countries.

2.Coated paper labels are less affected by temperature, but thermal paper labels are more affected by temperature

Generally, after the temperature of thermal paper labels is higher than 30 degrees, the handwriting printed on the label is easy to disappear. What is the reason for this? Mainly when the temperature is too high, a chemical reaction occurs on the surface of the thermal paper label, causing its handwriting to disappear. Because the surface of the thermal paper label contains chemical layers, and the coated paper does not, the coated paper is less affected by temperature. The label generally attached to the surface of the product is generally recommended to choose coated paper if it is affected by temperature.

3.The most obvious difference is that coated paper labels need to be printed with ribbon, thermal paper labels do not need ribbon printing

There is a certain difference in cost, may use coated label also need to spend another amount of money in the purchase of ribbon, thermal paper is not used, can be printed directly in the barcode printer. The premise is that the barcode printer must support thermal printing.
