Removable Thermal Paper Labels

Unlike permanent labels, removable thermal paper labels feature a specially formulated adhesive that stays firmly in place even after months of use and removes easily without leaving residue. They’re ideal for dynamic environments like retail inventory, warehousing, and reusable container systems, where information frequently changes.

Key advantages:

• Environmental benefits: No liner is required, reducing landfill waste compared to traditional labels.

• Low cost: Direct thermal printing eliminates the need for ribbon or ink.

• Adaptability: Suitable for temperatures from -20°C to 60°C, making it suitable for cold chain logistics or outdoor labeling.

• Compatibility: Compatible with thermal printers (Zebra, Intermec, etc.).

Technical Specifications:

GemmyLabel removable label stock utilizes our proprietary adhesive, resulting in a high bond strength (initial measurement of 12-18 N/25 mm). This ensures a secure bond to plastic, glass, and cardboard, and guarantees clean removal even after 180 days.

The surface incorporates a thermal coating optimized for barcode clarity (minimum 3.5 mil resolution) and UV inhibitors to prevent yellowing. Unlike standard removable labels, ours include an anti-static layer to prevent dust adhesion in manufacturing environments.

Diverse Applications Across Industries

1. Retail & Logistics

• Dynamic Pricing Tags: Update prices without damaging packaging. A major EU retailer reduced label waste by 30% using our removable thermal paper.

• Reusable Container Labeling: Withstands 10+ wash cycles in returnable bottle systems (tested per AS/NZS 2053.2 standards).

2. Warehousing

• Battery & Hazard Material Tracking: Compliant with IATA/IMDG labeling requirements for lithium battery shipments (UN 3480/3090).

• Pallet Tags: High-tack formulation adheres to wood textures yet removes cleanly.

3. Food Service & Healthcare

• Allergen/Dietary Tags: FDA-compliant adhesives for indirect food contact.

• Lab Sample Tracking: Resists condensation and IPA wiping.

Customization Made Simple: 4-Step Process

GemmyLabel streamlines custom removable label production:

1. Consultation: Share requirements (size, adhesive strength, print area). We engineer solutions for challenging surfaces like curved glass or textured plastic.

2. Prototyping: Receive test rolls within 72 hours. Validate adhesion/removability using your substrates.

3. Print Testing: Optimize thermal print settings for barcode scannability (verify with ISO/IEC 15416 grading).

4. Production: MOQ-free manufacturing with 10-day global delivery. Options include:

   • Perforated rolls

   • Custom shapes (die-cut circles, ovals)

   • Pre-printed logos/watermarks

Why GemmyLabel Leads in Removable Label Innovation

Material Science Expertise:
Our proprietary adhesive technology uses cross-linked acrylic polymers with mineral-reinforced release control. This prevents adhesive migration—a common failure in low-cost removable labels.
