Thermal Transfer vs. Direct Thermal: Which Label Lasts Longer?
When choosing labels for barcode printing, two main options exist: thermal transfer and direct thermal labels. But which one is right for you?Thermal Transfer Labels use a ribbon to imprint text/barcodes, making them resistant to fading, heat, and moisture. They are perfect for long-term use in warehouses, retail, and harsh environments.Direct Thermal Labels require no ribbon but fade over time when exposed to sunlight or heat, making them suitable for short-term applications like receipts.At Guangdong-Hong Kong (GZ) Smart Printing Co., LTD, we produce high-quality thermal transfer labels with superior durability.
