Packaging and Shipping Labels
When it comes to labels for your packaging and shipping operation, Crown Packaging has you covered from standard direct thermal, thermal transfer, or other specialty labels.
Application for labels
Labels are essential across industries, and the right choice depends on your product description and business needs. They vary in durability, materials, cost, and applications, making it important to choose the most effective label. Whether you are in need of a specialty label, direct thermal, or thermal transfer label, Crown Packaging has the best label that aligns with your business applications.
Types of labels
Direct thermal labels are labels created from heat, using heat-sensitive materials that leave a darkened mark when heated. These labels don't require ribbon or ink, making them cost less, but they may have to be replaced in long-term use. Direct thermal labels are best for short-term and indoor use, as they can fade over time and due to sun exposure.
For shipping, retail, and food product usage, direct thermal labels are great. Direct thermal labels can only be used on paper-based labels and are good for basic texts. These labels are great for printing a high quantity of labels and short-term usage.
Thermal transfer labels are created through the process of using a ribbon to transfer ink onto the label. These labels can last for years despite the environment, making them a great option when working with long-term shipment and tracking and outdoor workspaces.
These labels are typically made from ribbons that consist of wax, resin, or a mix of both. Thermal transfer labels are a great option when printing high-quality images and long-lasting, durable labels.
