A: DT Eco is BPA-free. DT Top-coated grades are produced without bisphenol chemistry, so they are BPA-, BPS-, and phenol-free. If you need phenol-free media, choose Top-coated DT (data sheets available on request).
A: Yes — 76 × 38 mm is a popular mid-size label suitable for most desktop and industrial printers. Choose the correct core size: 19 mm (portable), 25 mm / 38 mm (desktop — Zebra GK420D / ZD421), or 76 mm (industrial — Zebra ZT series).
A: Direct thermal paper isn’t waterproof. For moisture, abrasion or chemical resistance, choose Thermal Transfer synthetics (polypropylene or polyester) printed with a wax-resin or resin ribbon.
A: Use Freezer-grade permanent for chilled or sub-zero environments, and Removable for short-term or repositionable labelling (e.g. retail).
Compatibility: Freezer is offered with Top-coated DT and TT Paper; Removable is not available with TT Polyester or Tamper-evident materials.
A: Yes — we manufacture a wide range of thermal printer label sizes, from compact 50.8 × 25.4 mm up to large 100 × 150 mm formats, as well as custom sizes made to order.
