Direct Thermal Labels in Australia: Ideal for Temporary Labelling

Direct thermal labels are great for short to medium term applications, such as freight labels, retail labels, medical testing and more. They don’t require a ribbon or ink to produce the label image; instead, the direct thermal paper label has a reactive top coating that turns black when heat is applied via a direct thermal printer.

You can shop here for Australian-made direct thermal shipping labels and direct thermal labels for Zebra printers, Toshiba and other systems. We offer fast dispatch and the option of custom-made direct thermal barcode labels, tags and stickers to suit your enquiry.

 

How Long Will Direct Thermal Labels Stay Scannable?

Direct thermal labels can be used from 3 to 12 months before fading, but this can depend on the product, printing system and environmental conditions. Top coated direct thermal labels can last longer without fading or rubbing, for example.

Direct Thermal Labels: Frequently Asked Questions

Do direct thermal labels need ribbons?

Direct thermal labels do not require ribbons, as they use a heat sensitive material to make text and barcodes visible. The material is darkened using the heat produced by the printer, eliminating the need for ribbons in the process. This makes the process of printing direct thermal labels more efficient and straightforward.

 

Which industries can most effectively utilise direct thermal labels?

Direct thermal labels are ideal for use in situations where the label will not be directly exposed to sunlight, heat or moisture. This makes them the perfect, cost-effective option for use in the retail, logistics and entertainment industries as receipts, tickets and wristbands. For those who already have a complete printing workstation, our direct thermal labels for Zebra printers and other leading brands are a plug-and-play solution to create vast quantities of labels quickly.
