When thermal labels fade too quickly for your needs, is switching to thermal transfer technology the right choice? For long-term durability, thermal transfer labels are often the superior solution.
Unlike thermal labels, which rely on a heat-activated coating, thermal transfer labels use a ribbon to transfer ink onto the label. This process creates prints that are waterproof, UV-resistant, and resistant to oils, chemicals, and friction. They maintain clarity for years, even in challenging environments like industrial settings or long-term storage.
Thermal transfer is ideal for archived documents, asset tags, and shipping labels that need to last months or years. While the initial setup requires a ribbon (adding minor cost), the reduced need for reprints saves money over time. For businesses prioritizing label longevity, the switch to thermal transfer is a worthwhile investment. Click here to know more.
