Label Printers and Labeling Devices in Healthcare
Label printers and other labeling devices with which goods and packaging can be marked and labeled play an important role in the healthcare sector. Labeling devices are used, for example, to mark sterile items. In this way, the sterilization process can be subsequently documented at a glance. Tracking the batch is also easier if a label is printed for each record and attached to the sterilization log. Label writers are also used to create shipping labels for consignments of goods or address labels that are attached to your own luggage, for example.
Different Types of Label Printers
Labeling devices work with different technologies depending on the device. The simplest method is to use label rollers, which print the respective labels on a paint roller. In the professional sector, however, label writers who work at high temperatures are also used to print labels. Thermal transfer printers and direct thermal printers each use heat to mark medical materials or their packaging.
Direct thermal label printers are among the most widely used labeling devices. They print on thermally sensitive paper. Areas in which writing or symbols should appear are blackened by the heat on this special paper. It should be noted that labels produced in this way do not have a very long lifespan. Therefore, label printers with direct thermal technology are mainly used for labels on consignments of goods or articles in shops and supermarkets. The additional costs of this process are low, since there is no need for toner or ribbons.
Thermal transfer label printers also use heat. However, they "melt" the color from special ribbons with high print resolution directly onto the object or label to be marked. Printing on heat-resistant foils is also possible. This label printing process is very durable, stable, and precise and is often used for barcode labels. Another advantage is the wide choice of colors - the print color depends on the color of the ribbon.
Some label printers are also equipped with USB, WLAN, Bluetooth, and other interfaces, allowing them to be connected to computers and smartphones and managed on networks. Take a look and browse through our range of labeling devices. Order online here at Medicalcorner24®.
The label width depends on the capabilities of the respective label printer. Most label printers use rolls of ink or labels in fixed sizes. Rolls with replacement labels, replacement printer rolls with adhesive labels, and other accessories such as replacement ink rollers are also available in our shop.
