Self-adhesive paper and thermal paper are two kinds of materials often used in our daily life, especially in the commercial field. As an important printing material, these two kinds of paper have their own characteristics and use scenarios. This article will introduce the difference between self-adhesive paper and thermal paper in detail to help people better choose their own printing paper.

First, self-adhesive paper

Step 1 Define

Self-adhesive paper is a type of single-layer or multi-layer structure of the product, including paper, film, coating agent and other components. Its name comes from its adhesive surface, which can be directly glued to the desired position after separating the backing paper.

Step 2: Features

(1) Easy to print: self-adhesive paper uses a special coating technology to make its surface smooth and flat, easy to print.

(2) Convenience: This kind of paper has a large self-adhesive, just a gentle pressure can be glued, without other bonding materials, convenient and fast, suitable for high-speed printing and overprinting.

(3) Environmental resistance: The self-adhesive paper has excellent water resistance, oil resistance, chemical resistance and other characteristics, which can ensure normal work in a variety of harsh environments.

Sceond, thermal paper

Step 1 Define

Thermal paper is a special coated paper that can be heated to create a permanent imprint on the surface. It is mainly composed of three parts: the substrate, the protective layer and the photosensitive layer. In a printer, words or images are "printed" by transmitting heat energy.

Step 2: Features

(1) No consumables: Compared with ink cartridges or carbon strips, thermal paper does not require additional ink or ribbon consumables when used, which is more cost saving.

(2) Easy to print maintenance: compared with ink printing, thermal printers are easier to maintain and can achieve longer continuous printing.

(3) Can produce a durable impression: the printed matter produced by thermal paper has good durability and can be stored for a long time.

In general, self-adhesive paper and thermal paper are important printing materials that are widely used in commercial fields. Self-adhesive paper has strong adhesion and water, oil, chemical resistance and other characteristics, excellent performance in product packaging, labels and other aspects; Thermal paper does not require additional consumables and can produce a durable impression, and it is also widely used in industries such as catering, logistics and medical care. When selecting the right printing paper, you need to select it according to the specific application scenario and printing requirements.
