The quantity of paper in a jumbo roll equals
- A nominal width of +/-1 mm.
- A nominal length of -0/+20 m.
Cores
- Standard core: 76 mm (3”)
- Core available by agreement: 70 mm / 153 mm (6”)
Paper grades 105–185 g/m²
- Available reel widths: 190 mm–2220 mm.
- Minimum outside reel diameter: 50 cm.
Paper grades 40–90 g/m²
- Available reel widths: 420–2360 mm.
- Total cumulative reel width: 2100–2360 mm (= self-trimming need).
- Minimum outside reel diameter: 70 cm
Splicing
- Splices are joined by using black paper tape. The distance between splices is a minimum of 500 m at the beginning and the end of the roll included.
- The maximum allowed number of splices in one jumbo roll is two. The amount of splices is shown on the jumbo roll label.
Packing and labeling
- The rolls can be packed on pallets or delivered without pallets. Each package contains a label including two small removable stickers with a bar code.
- These should be removed before the reel is used and kept for later reference.
Paperroll.lk thermal paper features a high-quality base substrate engineered for superior print performance. The surface is treated with a specialized pre-coating and a heat-sensitive thermal layer for sharp, precise imaging. For added durability, an optional topcoat protects against environmental wear, while a versatile backside coating can be applied to resist adhesives and improve overall print quality. This multi-layered approach ensures long-lasting clarity and protection from front to back
Thermal Printing
Thermal paper serves as a specialized recording medium that eliminates the need for traditional ink, ribbons, or toner. Instead of using cartridges, the printing process relies on direct heat transfer. As the paper moves through a compact thermal printer, the printhead applies heat to specific areas of the chemically treated surface, causing it to darken and form crisp, clear images or text.
This technology is highly valued for its simplicity and efficiency. Because thermal printers have fewer moving parts and require no ink refills, they are remarkably reliable and low-maintenance. These advantages make thermal paper the go-to choice for high-volume applications, including:
- Retail & Finance: Point-of-Sale (POS) receipts and transaction records.
- Logistics: Durable shipping and tracking labels.
- Travel & Events: Digital tickets and boarding passes.
- Healthcare: High-precision medical charts and patient records.
