Protective films and coatings are marketed as solutions for fading thermal labels, but do they live up to the hype? For labels exposed to harsh conditions, the answer is a resounding yes.
These protective layers act as a barrier against moisture, scratches, smudges, and mild chemicals—common culprits of fading. A clear protective film is easy to apply and ideal for medical labels, lab samples, or food shipping labels, where clarity is critical. Laminated overlays offer extra durability, making them suitable for labels handled frequently or used outdoors.
While they add a small cost, the benefits outweigh the expense: labels stay readable longer, reducing rework and operational inefficiencies. For high-stakes applications, combining protective films with quality thermal paper creates a robust defense against fading. For most users, this simple addition significantly extends label life.
