Price tag labels can be made from high-temp or freezer-grade paper. These are made with polyester materials and permanent adhesives that can resist extreme temperatures.
Direct thermal paper is prone to smudging from heat or friction. Polyester films and laminated labels protect prints from rubbing, handling, and exterior conditions.
Polyester films resist scratches and maintain high-contrast print, ensuring barcodes remain scannable, even after frequent handling.
For most indoor applications, paper labels are fine without coating. For labels exposed to moisture or exterior conditions, a laminate or clear topcoat can make a difference.
