Thick thermal labels
Choosing the right kind of label glue is important for the performance of your labels. When determining what kind of label glue is best, consider the type of label you're using, your application, and your budget.
For general purpose indoor labeling applications, there are several adhesives available. The most basic is a permanent adhesive. Other options include removable adhesives for special applications.
Choosing the right adhesive for a thermal label application is important. Whether it is permanent or removable, it must have the minimum one year shelf life. The adhesive also needs to be able to withstand room temperature application.
While there are several adhesives, the best label glue is not necessarily the most expensive one. Using the most expensive adhesive can result in a less than desirable quality custom label.
There are several ways to measure the strength of the bond. One is the initial tack, which is the measure of the label's adhesive bonding power. Using a low initial tack adhesive makes it easier to remove the label. A high initial tack adhesive has a stronger bonding power.
Another measure is the number of times the adhesive can be removed. If the adhesive has a removable design, you can remove it from the label without tearing it off.
The best thermal labels are durable. If they are placed in a heat proof facility, the labels can last up to a year. These labels are also stronger than most other label types.
Heater ribbons
Using the right kind of label glue with heater ribbons is important for printing labels that will last. It's also important to ensure that you don't waste time and money by using the wrong thermal ribbon. Using the wrong thermal ribbon can cause image quality to suffer, as well as causing barcodes to fail to scan.
There are three different types of thermal transfer ribbons available. Each type is designed to handle different types of applications. You can choose between wax, resin, or a combination of both.
Wax thermal ribbons are the most common and inexpensive thermal ribbons. They are ideal for printing adhesive paper labels on coated and uncoated paper labels. They also work well for bin and shipping labels. You can also choose wax thermal ribbons that are coated with a resin coating to make them more durable. They are also compatible with both paper and synthetic materials.
Wax/resin thermal ribbons are more durable than wax ribbons and are optimized for moderate chemical exposure. They also have enhanced abrasion resistance. They are also compatible with matte synthetic materials. They are also used for labels that are exposed to a wide range of temperatures and water. They can also be used on biaxially oriented polypropylene films.
Full wax thermal ribbons are a little more expensive than all-wax ribbons, but they're also more durable. They are also a good choice for indoor applications, and they have a low melting point. They can also produce a crisp black print quality at lower heat settings.
