Our piggyback labels have a three-ply material consisting of a facestock with adhesive, a mid-liner with adhesive and then a paper liner. Piggyback labels are for applications where you want to affix a label and then remove part of that label to be applied to yet another surface for an alternate purpose. Ideal for shipping, warehouse, work-in-progress, pharmeticual and healtcare applications. Minimum application temperature -10 F, service temperature ranges are 65 degrees to +150 degree.
Our direct thermal piggyback paper material that has several layers. The top layer (or ply) is always the printable layer. The middle layer is a release liner that is coated on the back with adhesive. The bottom layer is a standard release liner. These labels are often seen in applications where the top label can be removed and reapplied to another surface. Our direct thermal piggyback paper labels have a one-year shelf life when stored at +72 F and 50% relative humidity.
Direct thermal printing provides high-contrast imaging using heat to activate the image onto the facestock therefore, ribbons are not required. Our labels are compatible with most brands of mid-range, high performance printers that specify use of a 1-inch core diameter direct thermal roll labels. These labels are recommended for use in desktop-sized printer from such manufactures as Brady, Citizen, GoDex, Honeywell-Datamax, Intermec, Markem, Monarch, Printronix, SATO, Toshiba TEC, TSC and Zebra..
