Two main types of labels are used for Bar Code printers:
Direct thermal Direct thermal labels are specially treated to turn dark when heat is applied. If you need custom labels, please contact us directly for a quote. You may also contact us directly if you have special requirements for adhesives, either permanent or removable.
Thermal Transfer Thermal transfer labels are used in printers that use a ribbon. The ribbon used is dependant upon the surface of the label and media type. The type of material used for the label is different depending on the kind of application, temperatures, wear factors, etc.
Hospital wrist band/identification: Hospital needs for patient and staff identification have changed significantly due to the new HIPAA guidelines. Printing Bar Codes and other information directly onto wristbands or other custom labels makes identification much easier and more accurate.
