What are Direct Thermal Labels?

Direct thermal labels are a type of label that uses heat-sensitive paper coated with a special chemical. When this coated paper passes under the thermal print head of a direct thermal printer, the heated elements create an image without the need for ink, toner, or ribbons. This makes direct thermal printing incredibly efficient and cost-effective, especially for high-volume applications.

• Are direct thermal labels recyclable? Some direct thermal labels are recyclable, depending on the material. Contact us for specific information.
