THERMAL PAPER JUMBO ROLLS

Thermal paper jumbo roll size is usually described as width x length x core size. Take an example:

· The typical jumbo roll size is 401mm x 6000mm x 76mm, which means the jumbo roll width is 401mm, the roll length is 6000m, and the core (inside the paper roll) is 76mm (3”).

· For another jumbo roll size 790mm x 12000m x 76mm, it means the width is 790mm, the length is 12000m, and the core size is 76mm.

In this article, we explain why the jumbo roll width is crucial. To produce an 80mm width thermal paper roll, you must use a jumbo roll with a width divisible by 79mm (we make the width 1mm less to ensure that the paper roll fits smoothly within the printer, without the risk of jamming or causing mechanical issues), like 558mm or 636mm. To produce a 57mm width thermal paper roll, you must use a jumbo roll with a width divisible by 56mm (same as 79mm), like 565mm or 844mm.

· The common jumbo roll widths for producing 80mm thermal paper rolls: 401mm, 558mm, 636mm, 716mm, and 795mm, etc.

· The common jumbo roll widths for producing 57mm thermal paper rolls: 565mm, 844mm, etc.

· The jumbo roll lengths vary from 5000m to 12000m depending on paper gsm and thickness. We can do any paper length as per the customer’s requirements.

Here below is a list of standard thermal jumbo roll sizes:

Inspect the GSM

GSM, or grams per square meter (sometimes called basis weight), is a unit of measurement that indicates the weight of paper. It is used to describe the density of the paper. For example, 55 GSM means that one square meter of paper weighs 55 grams. It is the most important parameter that determines the weight and thickness of thermal paper.

Thermal paper commonly ranges from 48 GSM to 80 GSM. The common GSM of thermal paper in the market are:

· 48gsm (around 50 microns thickness)

· 55gsm (around 60 microns thickness)

· 60gsm (around 75 microns thickness)

· 65gsm (around 85 microns thickness)

· 70gsm (around 90 microns thickness)

A higher GSM value indicates a heavier and thicker thermal paper. The GSM directly impacts the paper’s durability, print quality, and cost.

· Low GSM (48-55): Typically used in lightweight receipt paper where cost and speed are more important than durability, such as in portable printers and credit card terminals. A typical example is 57mm x 40mm thermal paper used for credit card terminals.

· Medium GSM (55-70): Commonly used for general-purpose receipts and tickets that require a balance between durability and cost, such as in most POS thermal printers. A typical example is 80mm x 80mm thermal paper used for receipt printers.

· High GSM (70-80): Used for applications needing more robust paper, such as labels, longer-lasting receipts, and documents requiring better print quality. A typical example is 58mm x 38mm thermal label for weigh scales.

Selecting the appropriate GSM of thermal paper is the most important step when ordering thermal jumbo rolls. You should consider the intended use and the specific needs of your customers.
