Phenol-Free (BPS-Free) Thermal Paper
Phenol-free thermal paper forms its image without any phenol-based developer — no Bisphenol A (BPA) and no Bisphenol S (BPS). Ours uses a Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) based developer, making it the safest, most compliant receipt paper for strictly regulated markets and food-service environments.
BPA-free only removes Bisphenol A — many BPA-free papers still use BPS. Phenol-free removes both, eliminating all phenol developers. The EU restricts BPA in thermal paper under REACH and is tightening on BPS; California Prop 65 lists both; and food-service brands increasingly specify fully phenol-free rolls.
As a factory-direct manufacturer, we supply phenol-free rolls in 57mm, 80mm, and custom widths, with custom printing, indirect food-contact suitability, and test reports and declarations for EU REACH, US FDA, California Prop 65, and RoHS — exporting worldwide on EXW, FOB, CIF, and DDP terms.
When to Choose Phenol-Free Over BPA-Free
Choose phenol-free for the strictest regulations and food contact; BPA-free remains a strong choice for everyday compliance.
- Phenol-free for EU REACH & California Prop 65
- Food-contact (FDA) for QSR, deli & grocery
- Full test reports and declarations per order
- Custom printing on phenol-free stock
