Choosing the right barcode label printers for your business needs, objectives and budget is essential. Thermal printers are either thermal transfer (requiring a printer ribbon) or direct thermal (prints directly on the surface of the label). Generally speaking, barcode label printers fall into the following classes:

Industrial Label Printers

High-performance industrial label printers are designed for high-volume mission-critical applications, usually in demanding applications and harsh environments. These label printers usually come with all-metal housings and other ruggedized components designed for high duty cycles.

Midrange Label Printers

Midrange label printers are designed for small to medium-size manufacturing, warehousing, and distribution organizations that require the ability to produce a moderate-volume of printed labels for a variety of applications including product labeling, shipping/receiving and compliance. These small to medium operations are often looking for economical, but rugged thermal printers for their day-to-day activities.

Desktop Label Printers

Desktop label printers are suited for a variety of low to medium volume printing applications in a variety of industries. These barcode label printers feature a smaller footprint, so they are ideal for applications where space is limited. They are easy to operate and feature a host of connectivity options.

Mobile Printers

Mobile printers enable employees to print barcode labels, receipts, tickets, etc. on-site and on-demand. Typically worn on a worker's belt, these mobile thermal printers improve efficiencies and productivity in applications such as warehouse, shipping/receiving, shelf pricing, merchandising, payment processing and field service.

Color Inkjet Printers

Adding on-demand color to labels is a significant benefit in applications where color-coding is essential. These specialized color inkjet printers utilize a special ink and label media combination to produce labels that stand up to exposure to water and other harsh environments.
