Eco Direct Thermals

Our Two Types of FSC® Certified Direct Thermal Materials

  • Economy Thermal materials help provide well controlled, short term labelling where there is little chance of the image being contaminated. Also known as ‘Unprotected’ thermals, as they do not have a protective top-coating.
  • Top-Coated Thermal materials have a protected coating designed to prevent contamination of the thermally-printed image from condensation, fats, grease, solvents and plasticisers during production and transit.

Applications and Benefits 

  • FSC® chain of custody certification: Smith & McLaurin is an FSC® certified material supplier, so our customers can track the origins of materials and demonstrate that the paper comes from responsibly managed forests.
  • Available with a wide range of adhesives: Choose from permanent, removable, freezer, water wash-off, wetpack and hotmelt adhesives to suit most labelling applications.
  • Multi-purpose face materials: Economy thermal materials are ideal for short life applications, e.g. in-store food, delicatessen, bakery, fruit and vegetable labelling. Due to their high-sensitivity response these materials are best used for indoor applications and are suitable for labelling household goods, hardware and DIY products.
  • High image resistance: Top coated thermal materials combat fading of thermal images
  • Sharp and clear print image: Top coated thermals offer better anchorage of flexographic printing inks and a much sharper print result.
  • ISEGA and/or FDA approved adhesives for direct and indirect food contact.
