What are Cryogenic Labels?

Cryo or cryogenic labels are designed to tolerate extended storage in liquid or vapor phase liquid nitrogen and ultra-low temperature freezers. The face material and adhesive of cryogenic labels are created to remain intact when stored under extremely cold temperatures, and usually for an extended period of time. If labels not engineered for this purpose are used in these conditions, you risk labels falling off the container and ultimately leading to a loss of sample integrity.How are Cryo Labels Used?Cryo labels are most commonly used for medi...[More]

What Are Direct Thermal Labels?

Direct thermal labels are an economical type of label made with a direct thermal printer. During the direct thermal printing process, a thermal print head is used to heat specific areas of the thermal paper. The paper runs over the thermal print head and turns black where it is heated, producing the desired image, font, text, etc. It is possible to produce two colors with a direct thermal printer. Two-color direct thermal printing can create both red and black images. Heat is applied to the paper at different temperatures, producing the two dif...[More]
