The three most common types are: thermal paper (heat-sensitive, most POS systems), carbonless NCR paper (pressure-sensitive, for multipart forms), and plain bond paper (impact printers). Thermal is the dominant choice for retail and hospitality due to speed and clarity.
Check your terminal's manual or the existing roll. Key measurements: width (common: 2-1/4", 3", 3-1/8"), core diameter (1/2", 3/4", 1"), and roll length. Kingcolor provides a compatibility chart – email us your printer model and we'll recommend the exact SKU.
Most thermal papers historically used BPA as a developer. Since 2021, Kingcolor has transitioned to BPA-free and BPS-free formulations that meet California Prop 65 and FDA standards. We provide third-party test reports with every shipment.
For standard thermal rolls, MOQ is 2,000 rolls per size. For custom OEM (printed rolls, special cores), MOQ is 500 rolls per design. We can also arrange trial orders of 200–500 rolls for new clients at a small premium.
We ship via LCL sea freight (12–18 days door-to-door) and air express (3–5 days). All shipments are fully insured and tracked. We handle customs clearance – you just provide the delivery address. Free DDP terms available for orders over $5,000.
