Top Coated Direct Thermal Labels on a 3″ core with a 8″ outer diameter.

Top coated labels are a good choice if your label requires extra protection from markings or scuffing that can happen during transit.

These labels are also perforated for easy tearing and hand application. Perforation refers to a row of small holes punched into the liner in between each label.

Labels on a 3″ core will only work in an industrial printer. These printers are large in size and best suited for high volume production, generally hundreds to thousands of labels per day, making them an excellent choice for warehouses, factories, large businesses, or other demanding environments.

Direct thermal labels do not require a ribbon to print. The ink is already embedded within the label material, which appears when heat from the print head causes a chemical reaction.

The adhesive for this label is a freezer grade adhesive. This particular adhesive is designed for withstanding freezing temperature environments below 32°F, including sub zero temperatures, and can be applied at temperatures as low as -40°F. This adhesive has a very high initial tack that creates a powerful bond to the material it is being applied to. This adhesive is perfect for blast freezer applications and is quite popular for companies that are in food manufacturing or logistics.
