Thermal Label FAQ
What’s the difference between direct thermal and thermal transfer labels?
Direct thermal labels print without ribbons, using heat to activate the paper’s coating. They’re cost-effective but best for short-term use (e.g. shipping labels, receipts). Thermal transfer labels use a ribbon for printing, which makes them more durable and longer-lasting (e.g. product labels, storage labels).
Are thermal paper labels waterproof?
Standard direct thermal labels are not waterproof and can fade in heat, sunlight, or moisture. Thermal transfer labels with the right ribbon and material are more resistant.
What are thermal labels best for?
They’re commonly used for shipping labels, barcodes, warehouse inventory, retail tags, and logistics.
Can thermal labels be custom printed with logos?
Yes — thermal labels can be pre-printed with your logo, brand colours, or information, while still leaving space for your printer to add barcodes or shipping data.
Do you supply thermal labels across New Zealand?
Yes. We provide direct thermal and thermal transfer labels NZ-wide, available in a range of sizes and formats to suit most printers.
