Barcode label printing paper is a specialized material, pre-rolled and designed to be compatible with thermal printers or inkjet printers. This type of paper is widely used in retail, manufacturing, logistics, and warehouse management — where product labeling, barcode tracking, or carton information recording is required.
According to Việt POS's deployment experience at over 500 Vietnamese businesses, choosing the right type of label printing paper not only affects print quality but also extends label lifespan, reduces barcode scanning errors, and optimizes monthly operating costs.
What types of label printing paper are there?
Label printing paper is classified by main material: white decal (coated paper), silver decal (reflective), thermal paper, and PET paper (waterproof). Each type has different durability, printability, and cost, suitable for specific industries and storage conditions.
| Paper Type | Material | Durability | Main Applications | Estimated Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| White Decal | Coated paper 80-120 gsm | 6-12 months | Retail, manufacturing, general warehouse | 2-3 million/roll |
| Silver Decal | Silver coated paper 100-150 gsm | 12-24 months | High-end products, harsh conditions | 4-6 million/roll |
| Thermal Paper | Thermal coated paper 55-80 gsm | 6-18 months | Logistics, shipping, cold storage | 1.5-2.5 million/roll |
| PET Paper | Polypropylene/PET 100-150 gsm | 24-36 months | Cold storage, humid environments, outdoors | 5-8 million/roll |
White decal is the most popular choice for retail and manufacturing businesses due to its good balance between cost and quality. Silver decal is preferred when durable labels or high-end products are needed. Thermal paper is suitable for logistics due to fast printing and low cost. PET paper is optimal for cold storage or humid environments because it is waterproof and grease-resistant.
Which label printer is suitable for each type of paper?
Thermal printers are used for thermal paper and white decal, with print speeds of 100-300 mm/s, priced at 8-25 million. Inkjet printers are used for silver decal, PET, with print speeds of 50-150 mm/s, priced at 15-50 million. Laser printers are used for plain paper, PET, offering high quality, priced at 20-80 million.

Choosing the right printer for the paper type helps optimize printing speed by 20-40%, reduces printing errors by 15-25%, and extends machine lifespan by 30-50%.
How much does label printing cost for Vietnamese businesses?
Label printing costs consist of 3 components: paper (1.5-8 million/roll), ink/ribbon (0.5-2 million/use), and labor (0.1-0.3 million/day). The total monthly cost for a retail business with 50-100 SKUs is 5-15 million, depending on printing frequency and chosen paper type.
Illustrative example: Lá Me retail chain (50 stores, 200 SKUs/month) uses white decal + XPrinter thermal printer, monthly costs:
- White decal paper: 3 rolls × 2.5 million = 7.5 million
- Ink/ribbon: 1.5 million
- Labor: 1 million
- Total: 10 million/month (equivalent to 0.05 million/SKU)
If switching to high-quality silver decal, costs increase by 30-50% but label lifespan increases by 100%, suitable for high-end products or long-term storage.
How to choose a reputable label printing paper supplier?
Choose a supplier based on 4 criteria: ISO 9001/ISO 27001 certification, 24/7 technical support, competitive pricing (compare 3-5 suppliers), and delivery time ≤ 3 days. Việt POS partners with reputable vendors like Epson, Zebra, TSC, XPrinter, ensuring synchronized paper and printer quality.
When choosing, you need to check:
- Quality certifications: ISO 9001, ISO 27001, GS1 (if exporting)
- Free samples: request 1-2 rolls for testing before placing a large order
- Technical support: advice on suitable paper types, printer setup support
- Price and terms: compare price/roll, payment terms, warranty policy
- Delivery time: prioritize suppliers who deliver within 1-3 days to avoid production interruptions
Việt POS provides free consultation services, assesses printing needs, and supports choosing the appropriate paper type + printer for business scale.
Does label printing paper affect barcode scanning quality?
Yes. Low-quality paper (whiteness < 85%, smoothness < 30%) causes 5-15% barcode scanning errors, slowing down warehouse processes. High-quality paper (whiteness 90-95%, smoothness 40-60%) reduces scanning errors to 0.5-2%, increasing scanning speed by 20-30%.
Factors affecting scanning quality:
- Paper whiteness: whiter paper helps scanners recognize barcodes better
- Smoothness: smooth paper reduces reflection, increases scanning accuracy
- Paper thickness: thick paper (100-150 gsm) is more durable, less likely to tear with multiple scans
- Print quality: high-quality ink/ribbon creates sharp, easy-to-scan barcodes
According to Việt POS's experience, upgrading from regular white decal to premium white decal reduces scanning errors by 40-60%, saving 2-4 hours/day in warehouse time for businesses with 100+ SKUs.
