Material overview

Direct thermal paper produces printed images using heat from the printer’s printhead rather than ink, toner, or ribbon. This simplifies printer setup and supports fast, high-volume printing environments where operational efficiency matters.

For applications that require longer-term durability, higher resistance to heat, abrasion, handling, or environmental exposure, review our Thermal Transfer Labels collection.

Why do 3" core and 8" OD matter?

A 3" core supports stable media mounting in compatible commercial barcode printers, while the 8" outer diameter allows more labels per roll. This helps reduce roll changes and supports smoother printing during active shipping, fulfillment, and warehouse cycles.

With 1200 labels per roll and 9,600 labels per case, this format is built for operations that need dependable supply and fewer interruptions during busy labeling workflows.
