Thermal Paper is a special coated paper that forms clear images and text through the reaction of its surface thermal-sensitive coating with heat (no ink/toner required). The coating layer is mainly composed of leuco dye, developer and binder, which changes color when heated by a thermal print head, featuring fast printing, clear output and easy use. It is a mainstream consumable in the printing and labeling industry, with diversified specifications (such as 3-ply protected, food-grade) to meet different scenario needs, and is widely used in logistics, retail, catering and other fields.

Our proprietary fade-resistant thermal paper formula delivers industry-leading image stability, with clear text and scannable barcodes preserved for up to 24 months under normal storage—far exceeding the 3-6 month lifespan of standard thermal paper. This eliminates invalid receipts, unreadable barcodes, and lost transaction records, reducing customer disputes and ensuring full compliance for financial and medical record-keeping.
Engineered for universal compatibility with 99% of mainstream thermal printers, our receipt printing thermal paper produces zero excess dust, eliminates paper jams, and supports uninterrupted high-speed printing. This boosts front-end efficiency for retail and catering outlets, reduces equipment maintenance costs, and minimizes workflow disruptions in high-volume logistics and warehouse operations.
Our 3-ply protected thermal paper offers exceptional water, oil, and scratch resistance, adapting to harsh outdoor logistics and cold chain environments. Our food-grade thermal paper complies with FDA standards for direct food contact, enabling safe use for fresh food, bakery, and cold chain labeling, expanding your operational use cases with a single reliable material.
Our logistics label thermal paper is the industry standard for express waybills, logistics labels, warehouse shelf tags, and package delivery notes. The 3-ply protected variant delivers water, oil, and scratch resistance for clear, scannable barcodes in cross-border and outdoor transportation, with optional UV-resistant formulations for long-term outdoor use, boosting sorting efficiency and reducing delivery errors.
Our receipt printing thermal paper is optimized for supermarket cash register receipts, price tags, shelf labels, and membership vouchers, while food-grade variants are ideal for catering order tickets, takeaway receipts, and food packaging labels for bakeries, fresh produce, and cold chain products, streamlining in-store operations and ensuring food safety compliance.
Our high-sensitivity thermal paper delivers crisp, legible small text for hospital medical records, prescription receipts, and clinical labeling, as well as bank ATM receipts, counter transaction vouchers, and insurance documents, with a low-dust formula to protect sensitive printing equipment.
We provide full customization for commercial and industrial operators, including tailored basis weight (55g/m² – 120g/m²), roll width, core size, roll diameter, coating formulation (long-life, high-sensitivity, food-grade, 3/5-proof), and pre-printing of logos, QR codes, brand elements, and fixed form templates. Our bulk supply solutions feature flexible MOQs for single-location businesses and national chains, stable large-scale production capacity, global delivery support, and exclusive bulk pricing for long-term partners, ensuring uninterrupted supply for your daily operations.
Our fade-resistant thermal paper preserves clear text and scannable barcodes for up to 24 months under normal indoor storage conditions, far outperforming standard thermal paper which only retains images for 3-6 months.
