Label, receipt and card printers for your business

This is a broad collection that brings together several types of product. It includes thermal receipt and kiosk printers from Custom (VKP80III, PM2, PLUS 4 and TG2460HIII), label printers from Zebra, card readers from rf IDEAS (pcProx Plus and WAVE ID) and a variety of consumables.

Some references are mechanisms or boards designed to be integrated into other equipment, while others are complete printers with a housing, cutter and USB, RS-232 or Ethernet connection. Mounting kits and consumables complete the installation.

How to choose between labels, receipts and cards

  • Labels or receipts: adhesive labels are used to identify products, parcels and locations; receipts are for payments, orders and proof of purchase.
  • Direct thermal or thermal transfer: direct thermal is simpler and does not use a ribbon; thermal transfer offers more durable printing.
  • Paper width: for receipts, 58 mm and 80 mm rolls are common; for labels, the width depends on the format you need.
  • Print volume: for continuous use, a sturdier mechanism is preferable to one for occasional tasks.
  • Connectivity and integration: USB, RS-232, Ethernet or TTL, plus a cutter or receipt presenter if your application requires it.
  • Consumables and accessories: check the compatible paper, labels and mounts before buying.

Applications of thermal printers

Receipt printers are used in retail, hospitality, car parks and self-service kiosks. Label printers are found in logistics, e-commerce, industry and healthcare. Proximity card readers are used to identify users for access control, secure printing or computer equipment.

Frequently asked questions

Label printer or receipt printer?

If you need to stick a barcode label on a product or package, choose a label printer. If what you print are receipts or orders, choose a receipt printer.

What is direct thermal printing?

It is the system in which the heat of the print head marks thermal paper without ribbon or ink. It is practical for receipts and short-life labels.

What does a proximity card reader do?

It reads contactless credentials, such as cards or key fobs, to identify the user. Check the compatible technology, for example iCLASS, Seos or EM, before choosing.

How do I know which consumable to buy?

Check the width, the core diameter, the type of paper or label and, if needed, the ribbon. Consult your printer product page to confirm the values.
