Three Years in the Making — A New Standard for Outdoor Mobile Labeling

After more than three years of intensive research, testing, and real-world validation, we’re proud to introduce ThermaShield® White — a breakthrough in direct thermal outdoor labeling designed specifically for mobile printers and demanding environments.

This isn’t a minor update.
ThermaShield White is a significant leap forward from its predecessor, ThermaShield Silver, and it directly solves one of the biggest pain points in outdoor labeling.

The Problem with Traditional Direct Thermal Outdoor Labels

If you’ve used direct thermal labels outdoors, you’ve likely experienced this firsthand:

• Labels turn black when exposed to moisture
• Chemicals degrade print quality
• Abrasion from handling and weather shortens label life
• Outdoor applications require frequent relabeling

ThermaShield Silver was a step in the right direction — but we knew it could be better.

The ThermaShield® White Difference

ThermaShield White was engineered to overcome these challenges head-on.

✔ No Blackening When Wet

Unlike traditional direct thermal materials, ThermaShield White does not turn black when exposed to water or moisture, maintaining legibility and a professional appearance.

✔ Enhanced Chemical Resistance

This material offers significantly improved resistance to chemicals, making it ideal for harsh outdoor and industrial environments.

✔ High Abrasion Resistance

With a high abrasion factor, ThermaShield White stands up to handling, movement, and environmental wear far better than standard direct thermal labels.

✔ Built for Mobile Printers

Designed specifically for mobile and on-the-go printing, this product delivers reliable performance wherever your work takes you.

✔ No Ribbon Required

ThermaShield White is direct thermal, eliminating the need for ribbons and simplifying your supply chain.

✔ Outdoor Durability

Printed images can last up to one year outdoors, making it ideal for temporary to mid-term outdoor identification.

Ideal Applications & Industries

ThermaShield White is purpose-built for industries that rely on outdoor asset identification, including:

• Auto Auctions – vehicle identification and tracking
• Nurseries & Garden Centers – plant, pot, and inventory labeling
• Outdoor Equipment & Appliances – assets stored in yards or lots
• Construction & Materials Handling – outdoor materials and staging areas

If it lives outdoors and needs a label — ThermaShield White was designed for it.
