If you work in a retail environment, it is likely you have come across thermal transfer labels plenty of times already. These useful labels are mainly used for barcodes and to label things like products and food. Keep reading to find out more about thermal transfer labels.
What is a thermal transfer label?
Thermal transfer labels are created with an industrial thermal printer that uses a wax or wax/resin ribbon. They can be used in many different fields, including retail, catering, logistics and distribution, cosmetics and medical devices. They are able to withstand a temperature range of -15°C to +90°C and are ideal for barcode labelling because they produce high-quality images with perfect definition.
How are thermal transfer labels made?
Thermal transfer printing is a digital printing method which prints by melting a coating of ribbon onto the label. This is different to thermal printing, which does not use a ribbon.
Thermal Transfer printing produces long-lasting, durable images on a variety of different materials including Thermal Transfer Labels. Due to the method they are printed, Thermal Transfer Labels last much longer than just thermal printing labels as they are less light and heat sensitive. Thermal transfer labels retain colour and do not blacken in close proximity with heat.

Are you looking for something to clearly mark inventory, assets, property or any other equipment? Luckily, Lable Source supplies top-quality numbered metal tags could be the perfect solution to your identification needs!
Browse our Metal serial number tags and see our 4 options available.
These metal serial number tags come in two different materials; aluminium or brass. Aluminium is ideal for cooler environments, whereas brass is perfect for anywhere hot as it doesn't produce sparks and is non-magnet. So whether you need to tag somewhere hot or cold, we have you covered. They sequentially numbered tags also come in two different sizes so you can pick from a 16mm x 47mm name plate or go for our bigger option at 25mm x 45 mm.
In order for the tags to be clear, the numerals are stamped onto the metal tag and this stamp is then colour filled. This allows the number to clearly stand out making it easy for you to identify. The holes on either side of the tag allow for them to be easily secured to a surface, far out of the way of the number so it can not be obstructed in any way
We offer these in aluminium and brass because they are both excellent materials to ensure your numbered metal tags last. Both brass and aluminium are lightweight, tough and resistant to most corrosive materials. This allows for them to be placed in most environments without worrying that the quality will worsen over time.
They are harder to chip or scratch and should be able to carry out your number identifications much more efficiently than any paper or plastic tags you may have considered.
We pride ourselves on having a label, sign or tag for any requirements here at Label Source. If you require any type of product we offer but would like some advice on what best suits your project then feel free to give us a call on, 0800 3761 693.
