In the fast paced business world, even a thing as small as a label decides the efficiency, cost and profession. Have you ever come across these kind of problems？Hard to remove labels? Leaving adhesive after peeling them off? Easily to tear? Worried about water or oil?
If you are looking for a type of label that are water resistant, oil resistant, tear resistant, and can strongly adhere to the surface while easily being peeled off, then you don’t want to miss the product synthetic thermal removable labels. From supermarket fridges, chained restaurants, laboratory samples, library management, to cold chain shipment and electronic product packaging, synthetic thermal removable labels can cover them all.
In this article, we will introduce synthetic thermal removable labels for you comprehensively. From materials and features, to applications and maintenance, this article will go through all questions you will have, and help you make professional and wise purchasing choices. No matter you are business owners or purchasing personnel, this article will help you. Let’s dive in!
You can tell from the name that the key is to understand the word “synthetic”. In the world of labels, “synthetic” means that the labels are made from synthetic materials like PP, PE, PET. These materials are synthetic resin films , not paper, so they can cope with complicated environment.
People who are not familiar with thermal labels may confuse with this concept.
Thermal labels are printed with thermal printers, which don’t require ribbons or toners, making the printing process more efficient.
And “removable” self-explains itself. You can easily peel it off without residues.
In this picture is a sub-type of our newly developed synthetic thermal removable labels. They are made from PE materials. For the color, we chose holographic silver, so they can shine beautifully. Except for this, we also offer other color like matte silver for you to choose from.

What’s The Key Advantages of Synthetic Thermal Removable Labels
Over the years, with the hardworking and ambitious Chinese workforce, the supply chain in China has become highly developed. China now has well-established basic industries, including chemical and mechanical development. This results in a highly integrated industrial chain essential for label production. For example, producing labels requires silicone oil, which is readily available in China. It also needs adhesives, and in China, you can easily find dozens of options to choose from. In addition, we also have skilled workers, cost-effective materials, and fast response — all of which helped China quickly become the factory of the world.
Although labor costs have risen in recent years, China’s other advantages remain unmatched by most other countries. That’s why “Made in China” is still going strong around the globe.
Compared with paper labels, synthetic thermal labels have many advantages
Water-resistant
Oil-resistant
Cold-resistant
Tear-resistant
No adhesive after being peeled off
Water- and oil-resistant: Thanks to the plastic materials like PP, PE and PET, synthetic labels do not absorb water or dissolve in oil. When applied in humid environment, the content are still legible. So they are suitable to use as cold chain or kitchen labels. But this is not to say that you can soak the labels in water or oil for a long time. This will disable the adhesive.
Cold-resistant: Synthetic thermal labels designed by Betckey can withstand cold environments like fridges, freezers, and cold chain shipments. They are less like to curl compare to paper labels or become brittle, and the adhesion will remain its strength in these environments.
Tear-resistant: Compared to paper labels, synthetic materials have better toughness and tear resistance, which makes them less easier to be damaged under rubbing or bending, ensuring their long-lasting clarity of the printed information. For example, in a warehouse setting, where goods are frequently moved around, synthetic thermal labels are ideal for pallets or storage containers.
No adhesive after being peeled off: The adhesive Betckey uses is with special formula, which can stick on the surface firmly in the short run, but can be easily removed without adhesive. To be more specific, we use sticking material. Through the surface tension adjustment and the design of micro structure, it can stick to the surface firmly, yet when being removed, the adhesive will not be overly stretched or damage the surface.
Possible shortcomings
Thermal labels are sensible to sunlight, so they are not suitable for prolonged sun exposure, like long period outdoor activities. But its other powerful features are more than enough to make up for the limitation. It fully meets the need of various scenarios that require oil resistant, water resistant and tear resistant labels that can be also removed quickly and cleanly, including short time outdoor applications.
Comparison with Paper Thermal Removable Labels
You may get confused when faced with the options of both synthetic and paper thermal removable labels and don’t know which one to choose from. So we made a chart for you to compare the two labels in the key dimensions to help you with the decision.

Storage Advice
To maintain the performance of synthetic thermal removable labels, please pay attention to the following points when storing:
1. Avoid the light: Place the labels in dark environment with opaque packaging since they are light sensitive. If exposed to the sun, the adhesive may be less strong, and may cause the thermal paper curl or become brittle.
2. Store in the moderate temperature and humidity: the optimal temperature is 20 ℃, and the humidity 50%. In winter and summer, this issue should be particularly paid attention to.
3. Seal to protect from dirt: Partially used label rolls should be stored in sealed packages, which can avoid dirt to stick on the roll and reduce the adhesion on one hand, and can reduce the oxidation of adhesive caused by contact with sunlight.
4. First in first out: always use the older stocks first. If the labels are stored for a long time, the adhesive may gradually age. If the labels have been stocked for a while, please test first to see if the adhesion is still strong enough before applying them in important applications.
The sudden tariff surge may have a temporary impact on Betckey, but we will not panic or lose our direction.

Can synthetic thermal removable labels be reused?
We don’t recommend reuse synthetic thermal removable labels. like any other labels, reuse may cause the reduction of adhesion.
If the synthetic thermal removable labels are applied to an object for a long time, will it leave residue?
Synthetic thermal removable labels can be used for a long time and be removed cleanly. It is designed to be so.
Will the performance be the same when applied to objects with different materials?
Not really. The adhesion is strong only when applied to smooth surfaces. If applied to rough surfaces, the adhesion won’t be as strong. So the key is to keep the surface smooth, clean and dry.
Can synthetic thermal removable labels be used in cold warehouses or environments that are very humid?
Yes, synthetic thermal removable labels can be used in clod warehouses. But before applying, make sure that the surface is dirt-free, dry and smooth. It’s the same when applied to humid environments. But if the labels are soaked in a wet environment, the adhesive will reduce.
Can I apply it to curly surfaces?
Yes, you can, just make sure the surface is smooth, dry, and without dirt.

Several reviews complain about these not sticking well. I use them on poly mailer bags and they actually stick better than the Brother labels. The print quality looks great. I don't see any downside to these.
