What are the sizes of thermal paper

Thermal paper has a wide range of uses, and printers with different usage scenarios result in different specifications. Users need to choose the correct thermal paper specifications. This article will teach you how to choose the thermal paper specifications suitable for your use, including the paper roll width, paper roll diameter, tube core length, and paper roll length.

Paper roll width:

The width of the paper roll is the first specification to check, and the measured number must be accurate to millimeters. The paper roll may not fit into the printer if the measurement error is even one millimeter.
The most popular sizes on the market are 80mm and 57mm, and some special machines will also use 76mm, 110mm, and other customized sizes. Some countries that measure in feet will purchase 3 1/8 feet and 2 1/4 feet.

Paper roll diameter:

The diameter of the paper roll is the second specification to check, measuring the distance from the center to both ends through the core of the paper roll. The measured number needs to be one millimeter less than the recommended paper roll for your current printer. Because if the size is too large, it will not fit into the printer, and if the size is just right, the printer may not work smoothly.
The diameter of the paper roll ranges from 25mm to 300mm, and the size can be customized according to the printer's needs. The larger the diameter of the paper roll, the longer the paper, and the longer it will last.

Tube core length:

The tube core length is divided into inner diameter and outer diameter. For some printers with a shaft, matching the appropriate tube core is necessary. If the inner diameter of the tube core is small, the paper roll cannot be put into the printer for work.
The commonly used tube core materials on the market include paper, plastic, and honeycomb tubes. Commonly used sizes include 13x19 paper tubes, 40x44 paper tubes, 13x17 plastic tubes, 12x22 honeycomb tubes, etc. Note that the larger the outer diameter of the tube core, the smaller the number of meters of paper rolls with the same diameter will be. Tubeless paper rolls are also available, a great option for customers looking for more paper.

Paper roll length:

The paper roll length is the number of papers wrapped around the tube core. The longer the paper, the longer it will last. The length of a roll of paper is composed of four factors: the diameter of the paper roll, the thickness of the paper, the weight of the paper, and the size of the tube core.
The length of paper rolls ranges from 5m to 600m and can be customized according to customer needs. Some countries that use feet as the unit will purchase 50 and 230 feet.

What are the common standard sizes of thermal paper:

The sizes commonly used in the market are:

 

1. Small POS terminal: 57mmx30mm, 57mmx38, 57mmx40mm, 57mmx50mm, 2 1 /4x50ft
2. Thermal printer: 80mmx80mm, 80mmx70mm, 80mmx60mm, 76mmx76mm, 110mmx100mm, 3 1/8x200ft, 3 1/8x230ft
3. ATM: 80mmx180mm, 80mmx200mm

 

Any thermal paper specifications can be customized and can also be customized according to customers. According to the needs, the logo can be customized and printed on the paper roll to help with advertising.
