Let's Make It Stick
Plain Paper Self Adhesive Thermal Transfer Labels
We supply plain paper self adhesive thermal transfer labels with a standard permanent adhesive. Used with a ribbon, thermal transfer printing delivers durable, high-quality print that remains legible throughout handling, storage and distribution.
Our thermal transfer stock labels:
- Are compatible with most industrial and desktop thermal transfer printers
- Can be used with external roll holders where required
- Provide reliable adhesion to cartons, boxes, shrink wrap and pallet wrap
- Produce clear barcodes, text and variable data
A full range of commonly used formats is available, see our thermal transfer stock size list for current sizes and roll specifications.
Thermal Transfer Label Applications
Thermal transfer labels are commonly used where durability and long-term legibility are required, including:
- Shipping and logistics labels
- Carton and box identification labels
- Pallet labels and warehouse location labels
- Inventory management and stock control
- Manufacturing traceability and work-in-progress labels
- Compliance and identification labelling
Plain self adhesive thermal transfer labels are widely used across industries including:
Self Adhesive Direct Thermal Labels (No Ribbon Required)
We also supply self adhesive direct thermal labels, which print using heat-sensitive material and do not require a ribbon. These labels offer a cost-effective solution for fast-moving and short-term labelling applications.
Our direct thermal stock labels include:
- Rolls suitable for industrial direct thermal printers
- Smaller rolls compatible with desktop and clamshell printers, including Zebra and similar models
- Popular sizes used across logistics and healthcare environments
For available formats and printer compatibility, see our direct thermal stock size list.
Direct Thermal Label Uses
Direct thermal labels are best suited to short-term applications such as:
- Courier and shipping labels
- E-commerce fulfilment labels
- Logistics and distribution tracking
- Pharmacy prescription labels
- Temporary identification and routing labels
Direct Thermal Label Performance
Direct thermal labels are intended for short shelf-life labelling. Printed information will fade over time and may be affected by heat exposure, light (particularly UV), friction and frequent handling.
For applications requiring extended storage or long-term legibility, thermal transfer labels are generally the preferred option.
