Thermal Transfer Labels
Paper and film labels built for crisp, durable ribbon printing.
Overview
Thermal transfer labels are printed with a ribbon — wax, wax/resin or resin — rather than heat alone, giving sharper and far longer-lasting print than direct thermal.
Available in paper for everyday use and synthetic facestocks for durability, they cover the vast majority of product, logistics and inventory labelling.
Key features
- Sharper, longer-lasting print than direct thermal
- Paper and synthetic facestocks
- Permanent, removable and freezer adhesives

Thermal Transfer Labels — FAQ
What is a thermal transfer label?
A thermal transfer label is printed using a ribbon, which melts ink onto the label for a crisp, durable result that lasts far longer than direct thermal.
Which ribbon should I use with thermal transfer labels?
Match the ribbon to the label: wax for paper, wax/resin for semi-gloss, and resin for synthetic labels. We can recommend the right pairing.
Are thermal transfer labels available in paper and synthetic?
Yes. We supply both paper and film (synthetic) thermal transfer labels, chosen to suit your durability and surface needs.
