What paper does the label printer use? What are the purposes?
Generally speaking, there are many kinds of label paper, but the common types of label paper include coated paper label, PET advanced label paper, PVC advanced label paper, thermal paper, clothing tag, synthetic paper, and other special paper.
△ Coated paper
Coated paper is a common material for bar code label printers, usually about 80g thick. It is widely used in supermarkets, inventory management, clothing tags, industrial production lines and other places. Coated label paper, as white ultra-smooth and uncoated paper, is an excellent basic material for heat transfer printing. It can be applied to the outer box label, price label, asset management record, ordinary household motor body label, etc., which is very common in daily life.
△ PET label paper
PET label paper, PET is the abbreviation of polyester film, is a kind of polymer material. PET has good hardness and brittleness, and its common colors include silver, white and bright white. There are 25 times (1 times=1um), 50 times, 75 times and other specifications according to the thickness, which is related to the actual requirements of the manufacturer. PET is widely used in many special occasions, such as mobile phone batteries, computer monitors, air conditioning compressors, etc., due to its excellent media performance, good antifouling, anti-scratch, high temperature resistance and other properties. In addition, PET paper has good natural degradability and low environmental impact.
△ PVC label paper
PVC label paper. PVC is the abbreviation of vinyl. It is also a kind of polymer material. The common colors are sub-white and pearl white. PVC is similar to PET in performance. It has better flexibility and soft feel than PET. It is often used in jewelry, jewelry, watches, electronics, metal and other good occasions. At the same time, because of its soft texture, it is very suitable to be used in places that are easy to bend in communication and power engineering.
△ Thermal paper
Thermal paper is the paper material treated with high thermal sensitivity thermal coating. The surface material with high sensitivity can be used for low voltage print head, so the wear of print head is minimal. Heat sensitive paper is a kind of heat sensitive paper specially used in electronic scales and cash registers. The simplest way to test the heat sensitive paper is to scratch the paper with your fingernails, leaving a black scratch. The heat-sensitive paper is applicable to the labels on shelves such as refrigerators and freezers, but too high temperature cannot lead to blurred contents.
△ Synthetic paper
Synthetic paper has the characteristics of high strength, tear resistance, perforation resistance, abrasion resistance, folding resistance, moisture resistance and insect resistance. Because synthetic paper does not generate dust and does not shed hair, it can be used in a dust-free room. May be in direct contact with food. It can be waterproof, oil-resistant, non-tearable, high-temperature resistant, wear-resistant, and can be divided into matte surface, general light and bright light. Scope of application: electronics, home appliances, automobile, chemical and other industries.
Other special materials, such as ultra-low temperature label paper, can be used in various frozen and ultra-low temperature laboratories. There are also high temperature labels, which can be used in high temperature environments, such as boilers and other high temperature workshops, and can withstand high temperatures of more than 200 degrees Celsius.
