Thermal Transfer labels are the largest part of Crane Consumables’ business.  Thermal Transfer labels utilize a technology that transfers resin from a Thermal Transfer Ribbon onto the face of the label.  This resin sinks into the fibers of the material to ensure a solid and readable barcode.

Direct Thermal labels are designed with an ink coating built into the paper.  By using Direct Thermal labels, there is no need for a Thermal Transfer ribbon because the printer applies the image directly to the paper.  Not having to purchase a ribbon, means there is less to order, less inventory to hold, and reduces the downtime on a printer because a ribbon does not need to be changed.

Flood coating labels allow for easy identification of products or organization methods.  Crane Consumables is able to flood coat our products to match any PMS color.  This option is available on all label materials.

From hospital wristbands to the barcodes on specialized medications, you need to be sure the barcode labels are accurate and will scan EVERY TIME…

Crane Consumables label products are available with four different core size options so our products can fit the demands of all major printers. 3”, 1.5”, 1”, & ¾” cores are available. Please check with your Crane Sales Representative to ensure the correct core size is used when purchasing products.

BOPP stands for Biaxially Oriented Polypropylene, which means the fibers of this synthetic material are crossed to provide more tear resistance and allow the product to resist more environments. BOPP can be used in many environments where a paper label will not work.
