Thermal Labels
Explore our diverse range of thermal labels designed for various applications, ranging from direct thermal labels for efficient short-term labelling to durable thermal transfer options suitable for long-lasting and high-quality printing needs.
Direct Thermal Labels
DT Labels offer high-quality barcode printing for numerous applications. Unlike thermal transfer printing, direct thermal printing does not require a thermal ribbon. Instead, the process uses heat to initiate a chemical reaction within the labels themselves. The image is formed directly on the printed material, making it a more cost-effective solution. DT printing produces sharp print quality with good scanability, making these labels perfect for short-term usage, such as barcodes or shipping labels that don't require resistance to environmental conditions.
Compatible with industrial, desktop and mobile printers.

Thermal Transfer Labels
Thermal Transfer (TT) labels utilise a ribbon heated by the printhead, which, when melted onto the label, creates the image. The ink is absorbed, ensuring that the image becomes an integral part of the media.
When paired with suitable media, TT technology not only resists heat and moisture but also prevents the image from being rubbed off, making the printed label exceptionally durable. By carefully choosing the right combination of media, ribbon, and specialty adhesive, users can produce archival-quality labels capable of withstanding temperature extremes, scratches, UV exposure, chemicals, sterilisation, and more.
