Direct Thermal Labels use heat sensitive paper (similar to thermal fax paper). Tend to fade over time (typically 6 to 12 months) and if exposed to heat, direct sunlight or chemical vapors, the life is shortened. Therefore, direct thermal labels are primarily used for short duration applications, such as shipping labels.

There are three grades of ribbon for use with a thermal transfer printers:
- Wax is the most popular with some smudge resistance, and is suitable for matte and semi-gloss paper labels.
