When to choose direct thermal
Use direct thermal for shipping labels, pick tickets, and other short-life barcodes where the label will not sit in high heat, sunlight, or long archive storage. The image prints by heat alone, so you skip ribbon inventory and changeovers.
How to pick a size
Lead with label width × length (for example 4 × 6"), then core and outer diameter for your printer class. Open any SKU for die geometry and pack details before you request pricing.

FAQ
Do direct thermal labels need a ribbon?
No. The printer heats the face stock directly. For durable or archival marks, use thermal transfer labels with a matching ribbon instead.
What sizes are available?
Common shipping and barcode sizes (including 4 × 6") plus specialty formats. Use catalog size search or open a size landing such as /labels/4x6.
Is wholesale pricing public on this page?
No. Specs and featured SKUs are public. Negotiated tier pricing and cart require a signed-in wholesale account.
