Logistics thermal shipping labels are widely used in express delivery, warehousing, and cross-border e-commerce. They adopt direct thermal printing (no ribbon required), ensuring clear information output and high printing efficiency.
According to different durability requirements, materials range fromstandard thermal paper to 3-Proof thermal labels (waterproof, oil-resistant, scratch-resistant / alcohol-resistant / PVC-resistant) and further to 5-Proof synthetic labels (usually PP/BOPP film-based, offering resistance to water, oil, abrasion, alcohol, corrosion, and tear).
Labels are available in both roll form (commonly with 1", 1.5", or 3" cores) and fanfold/stacked form, to meet the needs of desktop and industrial printers as well as high-volume shipping environments.
Shape | Common Size (mm) | Recommended Material Options | Supply Form | Typical Application Scenarios |
Rectangle | 100×150 | Standard Thermal / 3-Proof Thermal / 5-Proof Synthetic (PP/BOPP) | Roll (1″ / 1.5″ / 3″ core); Fanfold (e.g., 500 sheets/pack) | Cross-border e-commerce, FBA warehouse inbound, overseas shipping, domestic express labels |
Rectangle | 100×180 | Standard Thermal / 3-Proof Thermal | Roll / Fanfold | Standard shipping label for Alibaba/Taobao logistics platforms |
Rectangle | 76×130 | Standard Thermal / 3-Proof Thermal | Roll | YTO, STO, ZTO and other domestic carriers (single-part waybill, incl. Bluetooth portable printers) |
Rectangle | 75×100 | Standard Thermal | Roll | Legacy templates still in use in certain scenarios |
Rectangle | 76×180 | Standard Thermal / 3-Proof Thermal | Roll | Mobile Bluetooth printers, on-site pickup or delivery scenarios |
Square | 100×100 | 3-Proof Thermal / 5-Proof Synthetic | Roll / Fanfold | Warehouse turnover labels, cold-chain stickers, outdoor/long-lasting use |
3-Proof thermal paper is an upgraded version of standard thermal paper, designed with enhanced durability:
1. Waterproof – Resistant to moisture, text remains clear even in humid conditions.
2. Oil-resistant – Oil stains do not easily penetrate, ensuring readability.
3. Scratch-resistant (abrasion-resistant) – Printed information does not fade easily due to friction during sorting, taping, or handling.
In some cases, “alcohol-resistant” or “PVC-resistant” is also considered part of the 3-proof properties.
Applications: E-commerce shipping labels, warehouse labels, general logistics, receipts, and tickets requiring short-to-medium-term preservation.
