Blank Thermal Labels
Factory-direct direct thermal labels engineered for demanding environments. Choose from four adhesive grades — permanent, removable, high-temperature (up to 180°C), and low-temperature / cryogenic (down to –196°C) — to match your exact application. Available in paper and synthetic face materials with all standard and custom sizes.
Adhesive Types
Select the adhesive grade that matches your application environment. All grades are available with paper or synthetic face materials.
Permanent Adhesive
Standard acrylic permanent adhesive. Bonds firmly to cardboard, plastic, glass, and metal. Once applied, the label cannot be removed cleanly. The most cost-effective option for high-volume shipping and warehouse applications.
Removable Adhesive
Specially formulated low-tack adhesive that peels off cleanly without leaving residue on most surfaces (glass, plastic, painted metal). Ideal for temporary labeling, price promotions, and any application where the label must be removed without damage to the substrate.
High-Temperature Adhesive
Silicone-based or high-performance acrylic adhesive engineered to maintain bond strength at sustained high temperatures. The label face and adhesive remain intact through oven curing, powder-coating processes, and autoclave sterilization cycles. Widely used in automotive manufacturing, electronics assembly, and medical device sterilization.
Low-Temperature / Freezer Adhesive
Specially formulated rubber-based or acrylic adhesive that maintains strong adhesion in freezer and deep-freeze environments. Labels can be applied at temperatures as low as –10°C and remain securely bonded through the entire cold chain. Cryogenic-grade variants (liquid nitrogen, –196°C) available for laboratory and biomedical sample storage.

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 that must stay in place. Removable adhesive uses a lower-tack formula that peels off cleanly without residue, suitable for temporary price tags, promotions, and library labels.
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. For higher temperatures, please contact us for specialty silicone adhesive options.
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 cryogenic applications (liquid nitrogen, –196°C), we offer a specialized cryogenic adhesive grade. Please specify your application temperature when requesting a quote.
Do you offer synthetic face materials (PP, PE, PET)?
Yes. In addition to standard direct thermal paper, we offer polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE), and polyester (PET) face materials for applications requiring water resistance, tear resistance, or chemical resistance. Synthetic labels are available with all adhesive grades.
What is the minimum order quantity?
Our standard MOQ is 1,000 rolls. For samples or trial orders, we accept 50–100 rolls. Custom sizes and adhesive grades may require higher MOQs — please contact us for details.
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 including Zebra, Honeywell, SATO, Bixolon, Citizen, Datamax, and TSC. We can provide specific liner gap and notch configurations to match your printer's sensor requirements.
