Thermal labels are typically made of paper coated with a heat-sensitive layer that reacts to heat from a thermal printer, forming text or images. Standard thermal labels lack waterproofing, making them vulnerable to water damage, which can cause blurring or fading. However, specialized thermal labels, often referred to as three-proof thermal labels, are designed to be waterproof, oil-resistant, and alcohol-resistant. These labels feature additional protective coatings or materials that enhance their durability in challenging environments.
Features of waterproof thermal labels:
Waterproofing: They can withstand exposure to water without blurring or fading, making them suitable for use in wet or humid conditions.
Oil and alcohol resistance: They resist penetration by oils and alcohols, maintaining clarity and legibility even when exposed to these substances.
Scratch and wear resistance: The surface coating is robust, reducing the risk of damage from scratches or abrasions, which extends the label's lifespan.
High-quality printing: Thermal printing technology ensures clear and sharp text and images without the need for ink or toner.
Applications of waterproof thermal labels:
Retail and supermarkets: Used for price tags, promotional labels, and inventory management labels.
Logistics and warehousing: Applied to shipping labels, tracking labels, and batch identification stickers.
Food and healthcare: Used for food production and expiration date labels, as well as medical information labels and patient wristbands.
Industrial and office settings: Utilized for file classification labels, safety warning labels, and product maintenance records.
