Label Adhesive and Material Types

All coloured direct thermal labels in this collection are supplied with permanent adhesive as standard. For applications requiring a different adhesive grade or a more durable label material, CDM Labels manufactures across a broader range of specifications:

  • Permanent — the standard for this collection. Labels bond firmly to cardboard, plastic, and packaging surfaces and are not intended for removal after application. Suited to outer carton labelling, pallet identification, and despatch routing.
  • Removable/Peelable — for applications where the label needs to come off cleanly without leaving residue. Not currently available in coloured direct thermal but available across our direct thermal labels range.
  • Durable/Long-life — where labels need to remain legible over an extended period or in more demanding environments, our coloured thermal transfer labels offer greater resistance to heat, light, and abrasion than direct thermal.
  • Waterproof — for environments exposed to moisture or chemicals, see our glossy polypropylene labels for a waterproof alternative.

Need a Different Colour, Size, or Specification?

If Pantone Yellow or Orange in a standard size does not meet your requirements, CDM Labels can manufacture coloured direct thermal labels to your specification. We can produce alternative Pantone colours, bespoke sizes, different adhesive grades, and higher quantities than those listed in this collection. As a UK manufacturer we have full control over material, colour, and adhesive specification with no third-party lead times. Not sure which label is right for your printer or application? Browse our thermal label printers for compatible hardware, visit our FAQs, or call us on 01977 879101.

Coloured Direct Thermal Labels FAQ

What is a direct thermal label and how does it differ from a thermal transfer label?

A direct thermal label uses heat-sensitive paper that reacts directly to the thermal print head to produce an image, requiring no ribbon or ink. A thermal transfer label requires a ribbon to be used between the print head and the label surface, which melts onto the label to produce the print. Direct thermal labels are simpler and lower cost per print, but are more sensitive to heat, light, and abrasion over time. For short to medium lifespan applications such as shipping, warehousing, and logistics, direct thermal is typically the preferred choice.
