Direct Thermal Sticker 57 x 40 mm (5.7 x 4 cm) | Core Size 1.5" | No Ink Required

A Direct Thermal barcode sticker is a label made from paper-like material that has been coated with a special heat-sensitive chemical layer. Printing is done by transferring heat directly from the printhead onto the sticker surface—similar to how fax paper works.

Direct Thermal barcode stickers are commonly used in applications where long-term durability is not required. Since the labels are sensitive to heat and UV light, they are ideal for short-term use. These stickers are particularly suitable for industries that involve fast-moving goods, such as food and grocery sectors. For example, they are widely used for labeling fresh produce like vegetables and fruits, product tags in retail stores, and temporary box or pallet identification. Because the labels are printed without the need for ink or ribbon, they are cost-effective and convenient for businesses that need to quickly label products in environments where items are constantly moving through the supply chain.
