Bar code label, also known as label paper, is a consumable used by bar code printer, which is mainly used for printing labels. Printing contents include: characters, numbers, pictures, one-dimensional bar codes, two-dimensional bar codes, etc.
Coated paper label:
It is a common material for bar code printers, and its thickness is generally around 80g. Widely used in supermarkets, inventory management, clothing tags, industrial production lines and other places where the amount of coated paper labels is more. According to the sales situation of Sky barcode labels for many years, the users of American Avery paper and Japanese Prince paper have the best response among domestic and foreign brands, especially the American Avery copper plate label paper with the best performance, whose white ultra-flat uncoated paper is an excellent basic material for thermal transfer printing.
PET advanced label paper:
PET is the abbreviation of polyester film. It's actually a polymer material. PET is hard and brittle, and the common colors are silver, white and bright white. According to the thickness, there are 25 times (1 times = 1um), 50 times, 75 times and other specifications, which are related to the actual requirements of manufacturers. Because of its excellent dielectric properties, PET is widely used in many special fields, such as mobile phone batteries, computer monitors, air-conditioning compressors and so on. In addition, PET paper has good natural biodegradability, which is paid more and more attention by manufacturers.
PVC advanced label paper:
PVC is the abbreviation of vinyl, and it is also a polymer material. Common colors are sub-white and pearl white. The performance of PVC is close to that of PET. Compared with PET, it has better flexibility and softer feel, and is often used in some high-end occasions such as jewelry, watches, electronics and metal industries. However, PVC has poor biodegradability, which has a negative impact on environmental protection. Some developed countries abroad have begun to develop alternative products in this field.
Thermal paper:
It is a paper material treated with a high-sensitivity heat-sensitive coating. High-sensitivity surface materials can be applied to low-voltage print heads, so the wear on the print heads is extremely small. Thermal paper is a kind of thermal paper specially used for electronic scales and cash registers. The easiest way to test thermal paper is to scrape it with your nails, which will leave black scratches. Thermal paper is suitable for shelf labels such as cold storage and freezer, and its size is mostly fixed above the standard of 40mmX60mm, which are some properties of commonly used self-adhesive labels. As a kind of pure paper label, another kind of application is clothing tag.
In view of the characteristics of clothing itself, double-sided coated paper is commonly used for clothing tag, and the thickness of coated paper for clothing tag is generally160 g-300 g.
However, the clothing tag with too thick Between is suitable for printing, and the clothing tag printed by bar code printer should be about 180g, so as to ensure good printing effect and protect the print head.
