DIRECT THERMAL LABELS
Our Direct Thermal Labels are manufactured from only high-quality paper stock and have been thoroughly tested to withstand the heat applied during direct thermal printing. Unlike thermal transfer, direct thermal printing does not rely on ribbons to print an image. Direct thermal labels have a heat-sensitive property in the material that turns to black when it reaches a certain temperature.
We offer multiple types, sizes, and roll quantities in our direct thermal labels. Whether you’re looking for shipping labels that contain an audit tab or a continuous roll we can provide you with a solution that will meet your needs.

THERMAL TRANSFER
Thermal Transfer Labels
Our thermal transfer labels are manufactured from only high-quality paper stock and have been thoroughly tested to ensure reliable printability. Unlike direct thermal label printing where heat is applied directly to the label stock, thermal transfer printing requires the use of a ribbon to create the image.
We offer thermal transfer labels in a variety of sizes and roll quantities to meet the needs of today’s thermal transfer printers.
Thermal Transfer Ribbons
One of the best ways to extend the life of your printing equipment has always been to operate at lower print head temperatures, which meant reducing your print speed.
Our Thermal Transfer Ribbons have been designed and produced to withstand the rigors of today’s high-speed printing applications. Through the addition of anti-static, anti-stick back coating you can now print faster without the fear of print head failure. The problem in the past with high-speed printing was the high temperatures reached in the print heads. This problem has been solved through the development of these high-sensitivity inked ribbons.s.

POSTAL SEALING TABS & WAFER SEALS
Our Postal Sealing Tabs or Wafer Seals are manufactured from only the highest quality paper stocks and films. They have been designed and developed to meet or exceed all U.S.P.S. postal compliance requirements for adhesion and tensile strength. This includes surfaces rated “a through h” and tensile requirements “type I and II”. Our tabs are manufactured to provide a high initial quick stick to a wide range of surfaces including coated papers and include either 40lb. or 50lb. backing sheets that have been custom treated to withstand the high-speed dispensing applications of today’s advanced tabbing machines.
Clear Tabs
Clear Tabs are the best choice available for users sealing multi-colored mailings. Matrix Label offers clear tabs in a variety of sizes ranging from 1” to the new 1 1/2″ clear tab that meets all of the U.S.P.S. requirements for sealing booklet sized mailings. Each size of clear tab we offer comes in a variety of roll quantities to accommodate the many different tabbing machines available.
Translucent Paper Tabs
Translucent Paper Tabs have become very popular lately due to the recent changes in postal regulations and the overall cost savings they offer over clear tabs.
Translucent tabs are not as transparent as clear tabs, but they are not opaque or as noticeable as a white paper tab. They provide users an alternative option that is right between clear and white.
Matrix Label offers translucent tabs in a variety of sizes ranging from 31/32” to 1 1/2″ and in many different roll quantity combinations to accommodate every tabbing machine currently available.
