Common Questions
What's the difference between direct thermal and thermal transfer labels?
Direct thermal labels use heat-sensitive paper that darkens under the printhead, with no ribbon required — good for short-term labels like shipping and receiving. Thermal transfer labels use a ribbon to melt wax, wax-resin, or resin onto the label, producing a more durable, longer-lasting print suited to warehouse, asset tracking, and industrial applications.
Do you carry Zebra-compatible labels and ribbon?
Yes. BCTP supplies labels and ribbon compatible with Zebra industrial, desktop, and mobile barcode printers, in addition to other major printer brands.
Should I use wax, wax-resin, or resin ribbon?
Wax ribbon suits general-purpose paper labels and lower-cost applications. Wax-resin ribbon balances durability and cost for labels that need some smudge and scratch resistance. Resin ribbon is best for synthetic labels exposed to chemicals, heat, or outdoor conditions where maximum durability is required.
Can I get custom-sized barcode labels?
Yes. BCTP can help source custom barcode label sizes and materials for warehouse, manufacturing, and specialty labeling needs beyond standard shipping and inventory label sizes.
Do you ship barcode labels and ribbon to Texas and the DFW area quickly?
Yes. Barcode Trading Post is based in the Dallas-Fort Worth area and supports fast shipping to Texas businesses as well as customers nationwide.
