How to Choose Direct Thermal Labels
A six-step decision framework
- 1
Confirm your printer core size
Industrial Zebra/SATO/Honeywell printers use a 3" core with 8" OD. Desktop printers (Zebra GK/GX/ZD, TSC TDP/TTP) use a 1" core with 4" or 5" OD. Mobile/portable printers (Zebra ZQ, Honeywell RP) use a 0.75" core at 2.6" OD.
- 2
Pick topcoated or non-topcoated
Topcoated face stock resists scratching, smudging, chemicals, and short-term UV exposure, choose it for shipping, cold storage, and outdoor staging. Non-topcoated is a lower-cost option for clean indoor environments with short label dwell time.
- 3
Choose your label size
Use 4" x 6" for shipping/case labels, 4" x 2" for content and product ID, 2" x 1" or 3" x 1" for bin and shelf labels, 4" x 4" for compliance labels.
- 4
Decide perf, no perf, or fanfold
Perforated tears cleanly by hand. Non-perforated runs smoother through automated applicators and produces cleaner graphics. Fanfold reduces media changes on high-volume shipping lines.
- 5
Add color when you need visual sorting
Color floodcoat (Yellow, PMS 021 Orange, Pink, Red, Blue, Green, Purple) is ideal for zone routing, rush flags, hazard call-outs, and quick visual triage on the dock.
- 6
Match adhesive to the surface
Standard permanent acrylic covers most cartons and plastics. For freezers, rough surfaces, or low-energy films, request an aggressive or cold-temp adhesive quote.

Compliance & Stock Guidelines
- All direct thermal stock labels use a medium-sensitivity face stock with general-purpose permanent acrylic adhesive, 1/8" spacing, and 1/8" corner radius unless otherwise noted.
- Topcoated face stocks meet FDA 21 CFR 175.105 indirect food contact requirements and are BPA-free; non-topcoated face stocks are BPA-free.
- Direct thermal labels are not recommended for prolonged sunlight, high-heat environments, or multi-year archival use, choose thermal transfer for those applications.
- Orders ship same day from the nearest stocking warehouse when placed before the daily cutoff. Full-case orders only on most SKUs.
- For chemical drum, GHS BS5609, UL, or extreme-environment labels, see our industrial labels program. For ribbon-printed labels see stock thermal transfer labels.
Watch: Label Printing Capabilities: Flexo, Digital, Thermal Transfer
A look at how CIS prints labels across flexographic, digital, and thermal transfer processes, and how we pick the right method for your run length, artwork, and substrate.
- Flexographic printing uses flexible relief plates and fast-drying inks, which makes it the low cost-per-label choice on long runs.
- Digital printing is the better fit for short runs, versioning, variable data, and fast proofs with no plate charge.
- Thermal transfer covers durable in-plant and on-demand printing where labels are produced as they are needed.
- Substrates include paper, films, foils, and synthetic facestocks, with laminates and varnishes available in line.
- Spot color matching holds brand colors consistent across reorders.
