Thermal labels

Pre-printed thermal labels for scales, deli counters and retail — individually printed, with the right material and optional protective varnish.

Pre-printed thermal labels for retail and industry

The best-known examples of thermal labels come from food retailers: with a store logo, manufacturer details and a blank white area that the business then fills in with a thermal printer. Weight, product name, ingredients or shelf life are added directly on the product.

For coloured thermal labels we print a selected area with your company logo, manufacturer data and product information. In most cases these pre-printed thermal labels are semi-finished products that are completed in-store with variable data.

Our print shop produces labels in colour on flexo or offset presses. Single-colour versions can also be printed with a ribbon on a thermal transfer printer. On request, labels are supplied with a protective coating (UV varnish) in almost any shape and size.

Materials: ThermoEco and ThermoTop

  • ThermoEco is the economical option. It is not protected against sunlight and moisture and suits products with a short shelf life.
  • ThermoTop is protected against external influences and resistant to high humidity and strong temperature changes.

All thermal labels have a sensitive thermal layer. Even ThermoTop has a limited shelf life: at around 22 °C and 50% humidity we expect about two years.

Shape, adhesive and finishing

We die-cut thermal labels in free shapes, supply them alternately on the roll and add hot foil stamping, numbering or personalisation on request. Food-safe adhesives are available for direct food contact.

Our specialists review your application, temperature and packaging surface with you, so material and adhesive match the job and the price is right.

Frequently asked questions about Thermal labels

Which thermal labels suit scales and fresh-food counters?
For scales and fresh-food counters we recommend thermal paper with a strong adhesive that copes with cold and damp conditions. We advise on material, format and roll winding.
Can thermal labels be pre-printed?
Yes. We pre-print thermal labels by flexo or offset, including your logo, mandatory information, price fields and optional hot foil stamping.
How do you protect thermal labels from scratches and moisture?
A protective varnish or lamination shields the print from abrasion, water and chemicals. We recommend the right finish for your application.
How quickly are thermal labels delivered?
Once the artwork is approved we produce in the EU and usually deliver within a few working days. Free samples are available beforehand.
