Eco thermal label/ top thermal label features and application
1)Eco thermal label with hot melt adhesive features:waterproof features,printing no need ink. But The information on the thermal label can't last long time, it will fade until it disappears in about 6-8 months.
Eco-thermal label application:usually used as shipping labels and supermarket price labels.
2)Top thermal label with hot melt adhesive/acrylic water adhesive features:waterproof,oil-resistant and scratch-proof features.printing no need ink but The information on the thermal label is not long-lasting, it will fade until it disappears in about 6-8 months.
Top thermal label application:usually used as shipping labels and supermarket price labels.
3)Special Top thermal label with frozen adhesive features:waterproof,oil-resistant,scratch-proof,alcohol -proof and low temperature resistance.Printing no need ink but The information on the thermal label is not long-lasting, it will fade until it disappears in about 6-8 months.
Application:usually used as shipping labels in low temperature.
