Label orientation information

Some food labelling requirements call for direct thermal labels which do not require ribbons to print but which offer a much shorter working life.

What is the difference between thermal transfer & direct thermal?

Most modern printers can print on both thermal transfer and direct thermal labels so you can choose the best type of label for your requirements.

Thermal transfer labels require your printer to be fitted with a ribbon and it is the ink from this ribbon which is transferred using heat from the printhead to create dark and vibrant print with a long lasting finish. Various label and ribbon combinations can be used to cater for standard carton labelling to mission critical serial number labels to withstand extremes of use. Our ribbons also have a special smooth coating to minimise printhead wear extending the life of this expensive component.

Direct thermal labels do not use a ribbon. Instead the label surface is coated with a heat reactive layer which turns black when in contact with the heat from the printhead. This heat reactive surface will effectively cause the print to fade when exposed to sunlight, strong artificial light or indeed friction (cartons rubbing together in transit for instance) with the speed of fading dependent upon the intensity of the light or friction. For this reason direct thermal labels tend to be used for short shelf life products such as fresh food. Although there are no ribbon costs associated with direct thermal labels there are others cost increases involved as without the ribbon acting as a protective insulator between the printhead and the label, the printhead will wear more quickly requiring more frequent replacement.
