Thermal Printing

Thermal printing is ideal for labels with variable data that only require one color and have a maximum outer roll diameter of 8" or less. Typical applications for thermal print labels are shipping labels, lot and date code labels, and medical UDI labels. Thomco carries many stock sizes of thermal transfer labels. We can also produce custom thermal labels, either blank or with print, in many sizes and shapes to accommodate your specific requirements. Our thermal labels are available with paper or film face stock.
