Understanding Pharmacy Labels
Direct thermal labels used in pharmacy and NHS dispensing environments are printed without ink or toner, producing clear, accurate text and barcodes directly onto the label surface. They are supplied on rolls for use with thermal label printers integrated into dispensing systems, making them suitable for high throughput environments where speed, legibility, and consistency are essential.
Sizes Available
Our pharmacy label range covers the most commonly used dispensing sizes: 57x32mm, 60x30mm, 70x35mm, and 72x36mm. All sizes are available with permanent adhesive and supplied in bulk roll quantities. Browse our full range of direct thermal labels for a complete view of available sizes.
Economy vs Top Coated Labels
Our pharmacy labels are available in two grades. Economy labels are a cost-effective option suited to standard dispensing applications. Top-coated labels feature a protective surface coating that improves resistance to moisture, handling, and light abrasion, making them better suited to labels that need to remain legible over longer periods or in more demanding environments.
Permanent Adhesive
All labels in this range are supplied with permanent adhesive, ensuring they remain securely fixed to dispensed items, packaging, and containers throughout handling, storage, and patient use.
