The labeling process is widely used in today’s businesses to add uniqueness to the product and make it stand out in the market. One of the main features is that they are fully customizable, making it possible to create exclusive designs and provide product information clearly for customers. Additionally, it becomes the ideal canvas to represent any creative idea.
This type of label uses heat instead of ink to create images or text. Moreover, they are highly resistant to temperature changes, enduring heat and cold equally well, and do not peel off when subjected to washing conditions.

What are adhesive thermal labels?
Adhesive thermal labels are made from a special material that changes color when heat is applied to them. This modification is used to print variable information on them, such as barcodes, dates, prices, or batches.
Additionally, they are notable for being widely used in a variety of applications, such as:
- Product Labeling: To help identify products, indicate prices, or expiration dates.
- Logistics and Distribution: To label packages, pallets, boxes, or packaging and track their traceability.
- Inventory Control: To classify products in the warehouse and manage their stock.
- Healthcare: To categorize medications, laboratory samples, etc.
Direct thermal labels
This type of printing uses paper that turns black when it comes into contact with heat, allowing the printer head to get close to the paper.
The main characteristic is that its approximate durability is about one year, as long as it is kept in enclosed spaces and not in direct contact with heat sources.
Thermal transfer labels
This type of printing uses a ribbon with ink, where heat causes the pigment on the ribbon to transfer automatically to the paper.
Its main advantage is that they have superior durability outdoors, making them the most practical for long-term products.
Matte thermal labels
These labels have an opaque finish, providing superior image quality without affecting light levels.
However, they are usually thin, making their use either convenient or inconvenient depending on the intended application.
Glossy labels
They are mainly characterized by being a type of label widely used for scanning barcodes, especially in spaces where there is not much lighting.
