While a big part of our business is custom label printing, we also offer blank labels for customers who want to print their own labels. Two materials are particularly popular for DIY label printing: direct thermal and thermal transfer label rolls. Although they sound pretty similar, there are some key differences and depending on your labeling needs, one material will be better suited for your needs than the other. Check out our video below to learn more about direct thermal and thermal transfer labels!
