What Are Direct Thermal Continuous Labels?
Direct thermal continuous labels are supplied on an uncut roll, allowing the printer to determine the label length at the point of printing rather than being restricted to a fixed pre-cut size. The heat-sensitive paper reacts directly to the thermal print head to produce text, barcodes, and graphics with no ribbon or ink required. This makes continuous rolls a lower-cost and simpler alternative to die-cut label rolls for applications where label length varies between jobs, or where a standard pre-cut size does not suit the content being printed.
Direct Thermal Continuous Label Formats
58mm x 60 Metres — Direct Thermal Continuous Scale Rolls
Our 58mm continuous roll is the standard width for retail scales, deli counter printers, and compact desktop thermal printers. Supplied on a 60-metre roll with permanent adhesive, it is suited to weigh-price labels, short product descriptions, and date coding applications where a narrow label format is required. Browse our 58mm x 60 Metres Direct Thermal Continuous Scale Rolls.
76mm x 60 Metres — Direct Thermal Continuous Scale Rolls
Our 76mm continuous roll suits mid-range logistics and warehouse printers where a wider print area than 58mm is needed without stepping up to the full 102mm format. Supplied on a 60-metre roll with permanent adhesive, this width is commonly used for barcode labels, bin identifiers, and production batch labels.

102mm x 60 Metres — Direct Thermal Continuous Scale Rolls
Our 102mm continuous roll is the widest format in this range and suits standard 4-inch desktop and industrial direct thermal printers. At 102mm wide on a 60-metre roll with permanent adhesive, it provides maximum print area for labels carrying extended product descriptions, multiple barcodes, or combined text and graphic content.
