As part of our Specialty Labels range, Thermal Labels offers a range of blockout and cover up labels that can be used in a variety of commercial settings.
What are blockout and cover up labels?
Thermal blockout labels are manufactured with an opaque backing in order to hide text or labels underneath. To achieve the opaque effect, blockout labels use dense label materials that prevent any show-through. They have been specifically designed to adhere to existing label surfaces, ensuring a secure hold once applied. Thermal cover up labels have a variety of uses, including correcting errors and updating product information, meaning they are an excellent addition to industrial, retail and logistics businesses. For more information on what types of errors blockout labels can conceal, please see our blog on avoiding common errors during label printing.
