Thermal Transfer Labels
A Hot Solution for Variable Data
Thermal transfer technology uses heat to “print” the image directly to the paper or synthetic substrate. Paper labels are versatile and inexpensive yet offer great print quality. Synthetic labels are strong, long lasting, and resist abrasion, moisture, heat, splitting and chemicals. Both can be used to print a beautiful logo and you, or Gallas, can add the variable data.
Here are some common uses of thermal transfer labels:
Industrial Labeling
Identifying and tracking equipment, parts, and materials.
Logistics and Shipping
Creating shipping labels, address labels, and barcode labels.
Healthcare
Labeling medical supplies, medications, and patient information.
Retail: Pricing labels, inventory tags, and promotional labels.
