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 — 101.6 × 76.2 mm is a versatile medium format that runs on most desktop and industrial thermal printers. Select the correct core: 19 mm (portable), 25 / 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 such as polypropylene or polyester, printed with a wax-resin or resin ribbon.
A: Use Freezer-grade permanent adhesive for chilled or frozen storage, and Removable adhesive for short-term or repositionable labels (e.g. retail, stock rotation).
Compatibility: Freezer is available with Top-coated DT and TT Paper; Removable is not available with TT Polyester or Tamper-evident materials.
A: Yes — we manufacture many popular formats including 76 × 38 mm, 100 × 100 mm and 100 × 150 mm, as well as custom sizes made to order.
