Thermal receipt paper is a specialty paper coated with a heat-sensitive chemical layer that turns black when heat is applied by a thermal printer head. No ink, ribbon, or toner is required. It’s the standard for POS receipts, credit card slips, and ticketing because of its speed, reliability, and low maintenance.
| Property | Standard | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| Basis Weight | 48–55 g/m² | Thinner rolls last longer; thicker rolls feel premium. |
| Coat Weight | 10–15 g/m² | Higher coat weight = better image density and longevity. |
| BPA-Free | Yes | Required for US retail (FDA compliance, consumer safety). |
| Core Size | 12mm / 25mm | Must match your printer model. |
| Image Lifespan | 5+ years (under normal storage) | Ensures receipts remain legible for returns and audits. |
| Shelf Life | 2–3 years (unopened, 25°C/60%RH) | Longer shelf life reduces waste. |
