the standard choice for printing receipts

if you run a business, you must be issuing receipts to your customers daily while packing, indicating prices, shipping, identification, cartons, containers, and equipment. issuing high-quality receipts is essential for businesses as it benefits both business owners and their customers.

the 80mm thermal paper roll is widely used globally and is the most popular size. it works seamlessly with any standard thermal paper rolls or pos paper rolls printer. commonly referred to as 3 1/8 thermal paper, this size is extensively used across multiple industries, including retail, food service, transportation, gaming, atms, cinema tickets, shopping malls, and bus ticketing. specific options, such as 3 1/8 x 230 thermal paper receipt rolls, are particularly popular for offering longer usage and reduced frequency of replacing rolls.

thermal paper rolls produce clearer prints than regular paper, are convenient to handle, and are more resistant to fading, making them ideal for everyday business use.

types of thermal roll

there are various types of thermal rolls available. below are the key types and their applications:

direct thermal roll

direct thermal label rolls have a special layer on their surface that reacts to heat. when a direct thermal printer applies heat to the roll, the treated surface turns black, creating the printed image. these are widely used for:

  • meal labels
  • shipping labels
  • receipts
  • name tags for identification
  • visitor passes
  • weight labels

direct thermal rolls are often available as 3 1/8" feet thermal paper rolls, which suit many wholesale requirements for businesses.

thermal transfer roll

thermal transfer label rolls require a special printer that heats a ribbon to melt either wax or resin onto the label. this method creates high-quality, durable images. thermal transfer rolls, such as 3 1/8 x 220 thermal paper, are commonly used for:

  • warehouse shelf labels
  • inventory identification labels
  • asset tags
  • outdoor applications
  • freezer applications
  • chemical and laboratory labels

top-coated thermal roll

top-coated thermal substrates feature a protective coating that prevents the printed image from contamination caused by condensation, grease, or solvents. this ensures that the label remains intact during transportation and storage. these rolls are perfect for:

  • fresh and frozen products in supermarkets
  • pre-packed meat
  • cheese items
  • barcodes and food labels

options such as 50 rolls of 3 1/8 x 230 thermal paper are particularly suited for businesses requiring large quantities for packaging and labeling needs.
