Blank Thermal Labels
Factory-direct direct thermal labels engineered for demanding environments. Choose from four adhesive grades — permanent, removable, high-temperature, and low-temperature / cryogenic — to match your exact application. Available in paper and synthetic face materials with all standard and custom sizes.
Adhesive Types
Standard acrylic permanent adhesive for shipping labels, retail price tags, and inventory barcodes. Bonds firmly to cardboard, plastic, glass, and metal.
Low-tack adhesive that peels off cleanly without residue. Ideal for temporary promotions, library labels, and rental equipment.
Engineered for powder-coating, sterilization, and industrial heat processes. Maintains bond strength through demanding production cycles.
Maintains strong adhesion through cold chain and freezer environments, with cryogenic variants available for biomedical storage.
PP, PE, and PET options available when you need water resistance, tear resistance, or stronger chemical durability.
Compatible with Zebra, Honeywell, SATO, Bixolon, Citizen, Datamax, and TSC direct thermal printers.
Key Benefits
High optical density and stable face stock support clean, consistent barcode readability.
Paper and synthetic options support both everyday logistics and harsh-environment use cases.
All thermal coatings are BPA-free, with phenol-free options available for regulated markets.
Test adhesion, print quality, and temperature performance before you commit to bulk production.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between permanent and removable adhesive?
Permanent adhesive bonds strongly and cannot be removed cleanly, ideal for shipping and inventory labels. Removable adhesive peels off cleanly without residue, making it suitable for temporary pricing, promotions, and library use.
What temperature range does high-temperature adhesive support?
Our standard high-temperature adhesive maintains bond strength up to 150°C continuously, with short-term resistance up to 180°C. This covers most powder-coating ovens, autoclave sterilization, and electronics reflow processes.
Can freezer labels be applied in cold environments?
Yes. Our freezer-grade adhesive can be applied at temperatures as low as –10°C and maintains adhesion down to –40°C. For liquid nitrogen environments, we offer a specialized cryogenic adhesive grade.
Do you offer synthetic face materials (PP, PE, PET)?
Yes. In addition to standard direct thermal paper, we offer polypropylene, polyethylene, and polyester face materials for water resistance, tear resistance, or chemical resistance.
What is the minimum order quantity?
Our standard MOQ is 1,000 rolls. For samples or trial orders, we accept 50–100 rolls. Custom adhesive grades or materials may require higher MOQs.
Are your labels compatible with Zebra, Honeywell, and SATO printers?
Yes. Our labels are manufactured to be compatible with all major direct thermal label printers and can be configured with the gap or notch style your printer requires.
