Are Barcode Thermal Shipping Labels In Your Future?

There are labels… and then, there are thermal labels. The next time you receive a package, take a look at the labels on that box — the ones with barcodes on them. You might see quite a few of them depending upon the shipping origin. Every distribution point adds a thermal label printed with Zebra, Epson, Sato, Datamax, and other thermal printers. Why would these labels interest you?

Because you can use thermal labels – especially thermal transfer (TT) labels– just about anywhere in practically any type of application. The thermal transfer labels, unlike the direct thermal labels, can withstand heat exposure and are more durable. They won’t turn black or peel like other labels when used in garages or factories. Direct thermal labels have their applications as well, mostly in short-term distribution scenarios.

Although the printers cost a bit more than direct transfer labels, the use of thermal wax ribbons and labels saves money in the long run. Thermal labels don’t require ink, toner, or ink ribbons. TT and direct thermal labels are available in over 150 standard roll and fan-folded label configurations and are available on one- to three-inch cores, wound in and wound out, fan fold, and removable adhesives.

The only drawback to thermal labels is lack of color application. This inability to add color currently isn’t an issue, because the most commonly used applications for thermal transfer printing are distribution, product identification, inventory, asset labeling, and barcodes that need to last longer than six months.

Six months? That’s an asset!

Thermal labels also have a good many other selling points, and the market is hot for these applications. If you think about selling these labels (or using them for yourself), you’d want labels in stock, ready to ship before 3:00 pm the same day as order on up to 10 cases per size, with arrival time of one to three days from the closest of four warehouses located throughout the country, right?
