Shenzhen Kingcolor facility — 35,000 m² · ISO 9001 certified · Founded 1993
“We switched 3 fulfillment centers to Kingcolor's direct thermal sticker paper. Label jams dropped 73% and we saved $18,500/quarter on re-shipping. Their OEM program gave us custom widths that reduced waste by 12%.”
“The FDA documentation and consistent coating made Kingcolor our sole supplier for pharmacy labels. 4 years, zero compliance issues.”
All certificates available for download in your customer portal. Third-party lab reports provided on request.
“We go through 12,000 rolls a year. Kingcolor's thermal sticker paper runs without a single jam on our Zebra ZT610s. The adhesive holds at -10°F in our freezer aisle. Best move we made was switching from a domestic broker — 37% cost reduction.”
“OEM customization was seamless. We needed 2.25″ x 1″ labels with a permanent adhesive that doesn't ghost on recycled cardboard. Kingcolor nailed it in one prototype round. Their lead times are consistently 18 days — unheard of.”
“Compliance was our #1 concern. Kingcolor provided FDA and REACH docs within 24 hours. The audit trail is clean, and the labels pass our sterilization tests. We scaled from 500 to 50,000 rolls without a single quality deviation.”

“We tested 5 suppliers. Kingcolor had the best print contrast (1.28 OD) and the strongest adhesive on corrugated. Shipping labels stay readable even after 30 days in storage. Their team helped us optimize roll length to reduce changeover time.”
“Reliability is everything in distribution. Kingcolor's thermal sticker paper has less than 0.3% return rate — the best in our portfolio. Their DDP shipping to Rotterdam makes customs painless. We've grown 40% YoY with them.”
Direct thermal sticker paper has a chemically coated face that darkens when heated — no ribbon, no ink. It's ideal for short- to medium-life applications (shipping labels, receipts, retail tags). Thermal transfer uses a ribbon and works best for long-lasting, high-durability labels. Kingcolor offers both, but our direct thermal sticker paper is engineered for high-speed printing with excellent image retention (≥ 2 years under normal conditions).
Yes. Kingcolor's OEM/ODM program lets you specify width (20–120 mm), length (up to 300 m), core ID, adhesive type (permanent, removable, freezer-grade, high-tack), and liner material (glassine, PET, recyclable). Minimum order quantity for custom specs is 48 rolls per SKU. Samples produced in 48 hours.
We provide CE, FDA 21 CFR 176.170, RoHS, REACH, and ISO 9001:2015 certificates with every shipment. For food-contact applications, we also supply FDA migration test reports. All documentation is provided in English and can be notarized for US Customs clearance. FSC® certified options available.
Production lead time is 15–25 days from order confirmation (depending on volume and customization). We ship via FOB Shenzhen, CIF Los Angeles/Long Beach, or DDP (delivered duty paid) to your warehouse. Sea freight to the US West Coast averages 18–22 days. Airfreight available for urgent orders (5–7 days).
Every batch undergoes in-process and final QC: coat weight (beta gauge), print sensitivity (dynamic OD), adhesion (90° peel test), and dimensional accuracy. A Certificate of Analysis and lot traceability accompany every shipment. Our batch-to-batch variance is ≤ 2% — verified by third-party labs annually.
