Why Recyclable Direct Thermal Labels Are the Future of Sustainable Labeling
As the demand for environmentally responsible packaging grows, businesses are actively seeking innovative solutions that combine performance, durability, and recyclability. One standout solution is Labelink’s Recyclable Direct Thermal Labels, part of our expanding sustainable offerings.
What Are Recyclable Direct Thermal Labels?
Recyclable direct thermal labels are pressure-sensitive labels designed for direct thermal printing—ideal for short-term applications where speed, clarity, and cost-efficiency are essential. What sets Labelink’s portfolio apart is our durable BOPP film facestocks paired with an all-temperature or general-purpose permanent adhesive, offering a label that’s not only high-performing but also recyclable.

Labelink’s Direct Thermal BOPP Labels are engineered for a wide range of demanding applications. Whether you’re labeling in cold storage or high-humidity environments, these labels maintain legibility and adhesion. Here’s what makes them exceptional:
- Durable film face material
- Water-resistant and smudge-proof even under tough conditions
- Tear-resistant for rough handling
- Crisp, dark imaging with smooth thermal printing performance

These attributes make them perfect for applications like food packaging, weigh scales, logistics, medical labeling, laboratory labels, shelf tags, and more.
Sustainability Backed by Industry Standards
Labelink is proud to align with the Association of Plastic Recyclers (APR) and their APR Design™ Guide for Plastics Recyclability. Our Direct Thermal BOPP films are recognized by APR for compatibility with PE film recycling. This means that when applied to recyclable plastic packaging like poly mailers, these labels do not interfere with the recycling process.
Even more impressively, our films have also been recognized by APR for PET, HDPE, and PP plastic recycling, making them one of the most versatile recyclable labeling options on the market.
