Applications
- Retail POS receipt paper converting into 57mm and 80mm rolls for supermarket checkout systems.
- ATM paper converting for bank transaction records and branch self-service terminals.
- Parking ticket and transit ticket production where caliper, top-coat durability, and sensitivity stability matter.
- Lottery, gaming, and kiosk ticket printing that requires clean slitting and predictable image density.
- Medical chart paper and ECG recording paper base stock for controlled gsm and smooth feed performance.
- Industrial label stock for warehouse barcode printing, carton identification, and short-life tracking labels.
Specification Control for Buyers
Thermal Paper Receipt Rolls — 57mm, 80mm & Custom Sizes should be ordered by measurable specification rather than a short product name. Buyers should lock material, width, roll diameter, core diameter, tolerance, packing method, sample approval, and destination requirements before production starts. For thermal paper procurement, the working vocabulary includes gsm, basis weight, caliper, thermal sensitivity, phenol-free, BPA-free, top-coat, slitting tolerance, core diameter, dynamic sensitivity (mJ/cm2).
MOQ is 500kg per specification; mixed roll sizes by program, and lead time is 15-20 business days. The quote should separate sample cost, bulk production cost, packing cost, and freight terms so purchasing teams can compare landed cost instead of only piece price or kilogram price.
Sample Policy
Standard samples can be prepared in 72 hours after specification confirmation when raw material and grade are available. New formulations, coating trials, adhesive testing, or film surface-treatment checks require a longer approval cycle because test data must match the buyer’s converting equipment and storage conditions.
Quality Documents
Common documents include ISO 9001:2015 quality management certificate, ISO 14001:2015 environmental management certificate, FSC documents where paper source applies, REACH, RoHS, BPA-free or phenol-free reports for thermal paper, and SGS test reports available on request.
Packing and Export Details
Export packing can use stretch film, moisture barrier wrapping, edge protection, cartons, pallets, shipping marks, and roll labels. Buyers should confirm pallet height, container loading, roll orientation, core protection, and warehouse handling before final packing.
Basis Weight and Caliper
Basis weight in gsm and caliper must match the converting machine, printer head pressure, roll meter target, and customer receipt feel. A 55gsm receipt program and an 80gsm ATM program can look similar in width but behave differently during slitting, printing, and packing.
Thermal Sensitivity
Dynamic sensitivity in mJ/cm2 should be checked with the buyer's printer speed and heat setting. Low sensitivity can produce weak images; excessive sensitivity can create background discoloration during transport or storage.
Top-Coat and Chemical Choice
Top-coat improves resistance to water, oil, abrasion, and plasticizer contact. Phenol-free and BPA-free chemistry should be specified before coating because compliance testing must match the formulation used in mass production.
Slitting Tolerance
Slitting tolerance of +/-0.5mm helps converters keep roll width stable for POS, ATM, ticketing, and label stock applications. Width drift increases dust, edge damage, printer jams, and customer complaints.
Core Diameter
Core diameter affects unwinding tension, roll stability, and compatibility with converting equipment. Jumbo rolls typically use 76mm or 152mm cores, while converted POS rolls can use 12mm, 25mm, or custom cores.
Storage Conditions
Thermal paper should be protected from high heat, humidity, solvents, plasticizers, and direct sunlight. Carton and pallet design should account for sea freight humidity and warehouse dwell time.
Repeat Order File
For repeat orders, keep the approved specification sheet, retained sample, test report, roll label format, pallet plan, packing photos, and complaint record in one buyer file. This keeps gsm, adhesive, film grade, roll width, core diameter, and export packing marks consistent across shipments.

FAQ
What is the MOQ for this thermal paper specification?
MOQ is 500kg per specification; mixed roll sizes by program. Mixed specifications can be reviewed when the combined order is above 2,000kg and roll widths are compatible with the coating and slitting plan.
Do you offer phenol-free and BPA-free thermal paper?
Yes. Phenol-free and BPA-free formulations are available for selected gsm ranges, including 55gsm and 80gsm. SGS or related chemical test reports can be reviewed by order scope.
Which core sizes are available?
Standard jumbo roll core sizes include 76mm and 152mm. Converted rolls can use 12mm, 25mm, 40mm, or 76mm cores depending on roll width, diameter, and packing method.
How is thermal sensitivity controlled?
The coating line uses weight control and batch QC. Dynamic sensitivity, image density, basis weight, caliper, moisture content, and slitting tolerance are checked before dispatch.
What is the lead time?
Lead time is 15-20 business days. New structures that require coating trials, top-coat tests, or phenol-free validation can require 25-30 business days.
