Direct thermal labels are like the sprinters of the labeling world—quick, cost-effective, but not built for the long haul. They're perfect for short-term needs like shipping, library due dates, or immediate dispatches. However, their endurance clock ticks for just a few months. Exposing them to prolonged heat ages them faster than fine wine, shortening their lifespan considerably. Direct Thermal printers are their best buds, ensuring smooth compatibility and efficient printing.
