Frequently Asked Questions
-
What’s the difference between direct thermal and thermal transfer scale labels?
Direct thermal labels don’t require a ribbon and are ideal for short‑term use (e.g., fresh food). Thermal transfer uses a ribbon for higher durability and resistance to moisture, abrasion and longer storage times.
-
Will your labels work with my scale printer?
Yes. We tailor core size, roll diameter, sensing (gap/black mark), perforations and adhesives to your exact scale model and environment.
-
Are your scale labels food-safe and suitable for chilled environments?
Absolutely. We offer food‑safe face stocks and chill‑friendly adhesives designed to stick to damp trays and wraps without lifting.
-
Can you print barcodes and PLUs?
Yes. We design labels for accurate barcode scanning and clear PLU readability, aligned with your POS and compliance needs.
-
Can I order small or large runs?
We support both—short runs for pilots or seasonal promotions and high‑volume production for national rollouts.
