Product Features
Technical Overview
This barcode label utilizes direct thermal print technology, which requires no ink, toner, or ribbon—heat from the print head activates the thermal-sensitive paper to produce images. The label dimensions are precisely 4 inches in width and 6 inches in length, equivalent to 101.60 mm by 152.40 mm, a common size for logistics and inventory management tasks. The permanent acrylic adhesive formulation offers strong initial tack and long-term bonding, suitable for both indoor and limited outdoor applications where moisture exposure is minimal.
The uncoated paper material is optimized for thermal printing, ensuring consistent response across the print area and reducing the risk of jams or misfeeds in high-speed printing scenarios. With 1298 labels per roll and a total of 5192 labels across the four-roll package, this product supports high-volume labeling operations without frequent reloading, enhancing workflow efficiency.
