Reliable Scannability from the Warehouse to the Checkout Counter.

Charmetack provides high-performance Direct Thermal and Thermal Transfer label stocks designed for high-volume variable information printing (VIP). Whether you need cost-effective shipping labels or moisture-proof supermarket scale labels, our materials ensure 100% barcode readability.

We solve the industry's biggest headache: "Premature Fading." Our Top Coated Thermal Paper features a protective barrier against moisture, oil, and plasticizers (found in cling film), ensuring your price and weight data remain legible even in refrigerated meat counters.
