Selection principleTest the full construction
Selection guidance
Test adhesion and edge lift on the real surface, especially textured plastics and low-temperature applications.
Compatibility checks
- Confirm direct thermal versus thermal transfer print technology.
- For thermal transfer, test the ribbon with the exact facestock and coating.
- Qualify the adhesive on the real substrate, at the actual application temperature.
- Validate barcode readability after expected handling and exposure.
