Logistics industry how to choose thermal label paper?

When selecting thermal label paper, the logistics industry needs to consider a number of factors to ensure that the label paper can meet the various needs of the logistics process. Here are some suggestions:

First, consider application scenarios and requirements

Type of goods: Select the appropriate label paper according to the type of goods in the logistics. For example, for goods that are fragile or require special handling, labels with special marking or warning functions can be selected.

Environmental conditions: Consider the environmental conditions in the logistics process, such as temperature, humidity, light, etc. For goods that need to be exposed to outdoor or harsh environments for a long time, you can choose three heat-proof labels with waterproof, oil-proof, and sun-proof characteristics.

Printing and pasting requirements: Select the appropriate label paper based on the printing and pasting requirements. For example, for occasions where high-speed printing is required, thermal label paper with high-speed printing performance can be selected; For goods that need to be pasted on a special material surface, you can choose a strong adhesive label paper.

Second, consider the material and characteristics of the label paper

Material selection: The material of thermal label paper is divided into two kinds: paper and PET film. The cost of label paper is lower, but the durability may be poor; Label paper made of PET film has better durability and waterproof and oil-proof properties. Select the appropriate material according to the actual needs.

For labels that need to be used in a humid, greasy, or direct sunlight environment, select heat-proof labels that are waterproof, oil-proof, and sun-proof.

Adhesive selection: Select the appropriate adhesive type according to the material and paste environment of the goods surface to ensure that the label paper can be firmly pasted and maintained for a long time.

Third, consider the size and specifications of the label paper

Size selection: Select the appropriate label paper size according to the amount of information that needs to be printed and pasted in the logistics process. Generally speaking, label paper with a width of less than 58mm is suitable for small goods or packages; Label paper with a width of 58-80mm is suitable for medium-sized goods or packages; Label paper with a width of more than 80mm is suitable for large goods or occasions where a lot of information needs to be printed.

Specification selection: Thermal label paper has two specifications: roll type and non-roll type (that is, single sheet). Roll label paper is suitable for efficient printing and pasting equipment such as automatic labeling machine; Non-roll label paper is suitable for manual printing and pasting.

4. Consider cost-effectiveness

Cost considerations: When selecting thermal label paper, it is necessary to consider its cost effectiveness comprehensively. Although high-quality, high-performance label paper may be more expensive, the long-term benefits it brings (such as reduced replacement frequency, improved printing efficiency, etc.) may make it more cost-effective.

Bulk purchase: For a large number of label paper, you can consider bulk purchase to obtain more favorable prices and better service support.

5. Consider supplier reputation and service

Supplier reputation: Choose a supplier with good reputation and reputation to ensure the quality and stability of the label paper.

After-sales service: Understand the supplier's after-sales service policy, so that when you encounter problems during use, you can be solved in time.

To sum up, the logistics industry needs to consider multiple factors such as application scenarios, material characteristics, size specifications, cost effectiveness, and supplier reputation and service when selecting thermal label paper. Through reasonable selection, you can ensure that the label paper can meet the various needs of the logistics process, improve logistics efficiency and service quality.
