Dimensions & Material:
The rolls are 57 mm wide and approximately 40 mm in diameter (designed to fit typical PDQ/card terminals). The solid center is approximately 12 mm in diameter, and the roll has approximately 18 meters of thermal paper, replacement rate. The paper is bright white, direct thermal paper with a smooth heat-sensitive coating, 48 gsm or so without ink, giving sharp, high-contrast prints. It is produced using FSC-certified wood-pulp paper (eco-aware) and uses no BPA/phenolic developers (phenol-free), so it can be recycled, and it is less harmful to handle.
Key Features
Crisp, fast printing: The specialized thermal coating creates text and images that are clear and have no smudges immediately upon heating (no ink ribbon is required). This will guarantee fast and efficient receipts and tickets at overflowing POS counters.
Compact High Yield:
These long rolls minimize change rolls and reduce downtime and run time in retail or hospitality settings at only a low roll length of approximately 18 m per roll. The miniature size of 57×40 mm is a large size packed into a small size.
End-of-Roll Indicator:
A red warning stripe is printed at the end of each roll, warning staff that they are almost approaching the end of the roll. This will reduce the printing delays and will make things run smoothly.
Universal Core and Fit:
The core diameter size (approximately 12 mm) and roll size are compatible with almost all handheld and countertop POS receipt printers and PDQ terminals, thus providing plug-and-play compatibility.
Durability and Clean Performance:
Quality thermal paper will survive moisture and shelf-fades; the low-dust construction and smooth edges ensure consistent feeds and less printer jamming.

Retail:
Point of sale receipts in stores and supermarkets. Quick printouts will accelerate checkouts and will give the customers clear proof of purchase.
Hospitality:
Restaurants, cafes, pubs, and hotels utilize them to print order tickets and payment receipts at bars/kitchens. They resist fast printing in the kitchen and print receipts at hotel desks.
Healthcare/Pharmacy:
Pharmacy prescription labels, patient labeling, clinic billing. Thermal barcode rolls are used to track wristbands and samples in hospital pharmacies and labs.
Logistics & Warehousing:
Perfect for shipping labels and barcode tags and delivery confirmations. E-commerce fulfillment and warehouse management use thermal printing as the standard.

Taxis (ticket outlets), parking meters, government offices, and ticketing kiosks – any location that requires receipts promptly and immediately.
Environmental/Compliance Highlights.
They are environmentally friendly and standardized: all products are BPA-free (phenol-free) as required by EU/UK safety standards. The paper is made of FSC-certified (responsibly sourced wood pulp) and is completely recyclable. Phenol-free paper eliminates endocrine-disrupting chemicals and thus is consistent with current health recommendations.
Where feasible, companies are urged to provide e-receipts in order to minimize waste. In general, the rolls comply with the applicable UK/EU standards of thermal printing consumables (no toxic residues, low carbon footprint material).
Ordering & Delivery (UK-wide):
