Production Process

Thermal paper is manufactured using thermal paper technology. The thermal paper is coated with a heat-sensitive coating, and then high-temperature lamination technology is used to cause cross-chemical reactions to complete the production of thermal paper.

Among them, “heat-sensitive coating” refers to a composite material composed of heat-sensitive agent, auxiliary agent, fixative and base material. It can achieve rapid discoloration through certain technological processes, thus presenting the required functions.

Function

In business transactions, Thermal paper plays a vital role as it can record sales information, pricing and promotional information, etc. These printed information are generated through POS machines and used in commercial places such as shopping malls and supermarkets.

There are many different types of Thermal paper in terms of performance, including ribbon thermal paper, direct thermal paper and double-adhesive thermal paper. Among them, different types of thermal paper have their own characteristics and scope of application.

The process of producing Thermal paper can be simply divided into the following steps:

1. Substrate treatment: roll the dust-free high-white paper into a roll and process it through a coating machine. Spray a layer of heat-sensitive paint on the substrate and then place it in a drying chamber to dry, turning it into a coated heat-sensitive base paper.

2. Coating the heat-sensitive coating: The heat-sensitive base paper is coated through a coating machine. Specifically, the spraying equipment sprays the heat-sensitive coating evenly onto the paper surface and then dries.

3. Processing and cutting: After coating and drying, the thermal base paper is cut into required sizes. In addition, customized processing can also be carried out according to customer requirements, such as printing LOGO or text.

4. Packaging: For the final product, an automatic packaging machine is used for packaging. Generally speaking, the standard packaging is one roll or two rolls, depending on customer needs and product size.

In short, the production process of Thermal paper requires multiple processes and has high requirements on equipment stability and material quality.
