Blank, thermal and thermal transfer labels
The warehouse does not wait: the label has to come out of the printer, bond to the carton and scan first time.
Blank labels for printing on site — logistics, scale, address, pricing-gun and picking labels. You print them yourself, hundreds a day, and our job is to get the roll right: size for the application, wind, core and wind direction for your printer, material for the print head, adhesive for the surface — from recycled cardboard, through stretch film, to frosted crates in the cold store.
You can print them in two ways. Direct thermal — the printer burns the image straight into thermal paper; the simplest and cheapest for codes, scales and receipts. Thermal transfer — the printer transfers the image via a ribbon, so you can print practically any material: plain paper, vellum, semi-gloss, PP film, PE film and clear film. Thermal transfer print is durable — it stays legible for months, even with moisture, grease and frost.
Good to know
No standard size? If a cutting die is not yet in our library, we order it express, and with an ongoing partnership we cover the tooling cost — you get your format with no surcharge to start.
What you can choose from
Direct thermal printing
Thermal paper Eco for dry applications and scales, Top with a protective coating for moisture, grease and cold stores. All bisphenol-free (BPA / BPS).
Thermal transfer — any material
Printing via thermal transfer ribbon on whatever you need: plain paper, vellum, semi-gloss, PP, PE and clear film. Durable, abrasion-resistant codes — warehouse, archiving, pharma.
Coloured labels
Red, white, yellow and more — a dyed facestock or a solid colour printed over the whole surface. Colour separates zones, marks priorities and speeds up picking.
PP / PE films (durable)
Blank or printed films resistant to moisture, abrasion and tearing — crates, pallets outdoors, cold stores. Where paper would not survive.
The adhesive does half the work
Standard
Acrylic or rubber-based — cardboard, stretch film, plastics. Matched to the surface you apply to.
Reinforced for cardboard
High initial tack on recycled cardboard and for application over carton corners (90° fold).
Chilled / frozen
Holds on cold and frosted surfaces — labelling in the cold store without lifting.
Washable from 30°C
For reusable crates and containers — after washing the container comes back clean, without adhesive residue (IFCO approvals among others).
You do not need to know these terms — just tell us what the label has to stick to and the conditions it will live in. Our technologist will choose the rest.
