Removable Thermal Transfer Label Uses & Features
Our removable thermal transfer material is a smooth, bright white paper backed with a general-purpose, removable adhesive. It holds well initially but can be removed with ease, without leaving any residue behind. It works well with a variety of thermal transfer printers and creates high-quality prints for an array of non-permanent applications. Our selection of thermal transfer removable labels is available in popular sizes on 1" and 3" cores.
These labels are commonly used for the temporary labeling of:
- Shelves
- Warehouse systems
- Racks
- Containers
- Bins
- Boxes
Frequently Asked Questions
-
How are Removal Thermal Transfer labels different from Standard Thermal Transfer labels?
Removable Thermal Transfer labels use a lighter, removable adhesive that allows the label to peel off cleanly without leaving residue, while standard thermal transfer labels use a permanent adhesive designed to stay firmly in place.
-
Do these labels leave adhesive residue when removed?
No, the removable adhesive is designed so that the label can be pulled off cleanly, without residue.
-
What’s the difference between removable thermal transfer and removable direct thermal labels?
Both offer removable adhesives, but direct thermal labels don’t require a ribbon and can fade over time due to heat or light exposure. On the other hand, thermal transfer labels use a CSO Thermal Transfer Ribbons or a CSI Thermal Transfer Ribbons and produce more durable labels, ideal for images that will be used for a long term.
-
When should I choose a removable adhesive?
Choose a removable adhesive when the label may need to be removed later, with less residue than a permanent option. It can be helpful for shelves, bins, temporary product labels, rotating inventory, and reusable containers.
-
Can I reuse the label after removing it?
No, removable labels are best treated as temporary, one-time-use labels. Once removed, the adhesive may not perform the same way if reapplied. Use a new label if the item needs to be relabeled.
-
Are they useful for inventory updates?
Yes, they can help with inventory changes, temporary storage, stock rotation, and short-term identification. They are a good fit when labels need to print clearly and come off easily later.
