Thermal Direct Labels (TD or DT)

Understanding Thermal Direct Labels

Thermal Direct labels, often referred to as Direct Transfer Labels, have revolutionised the way businesses manage their inventory and shipping processes. These advanced labelling solutions offer exceptional clarity and durability, making them an indispensable tool for any business that values efficiency and accuracy.

How Thermal Direct Labels Work

The Technology Behind Thermal Direct Labels

The technology behind thermal direct labels is a marvel in itself. Thermal direct labelling employs a unique process that uses heat-sensitive material. When this material is subjected to a thermal print head, it darkens, creating a high-definition, clear image. This technology eliminates the need for ink, toner, or ribbon, making it a cost-effective and environmentally friendly solution.
