There are many types of direct thermal and thermal transfer label face-stocks in the marketplace, from uncoated to full top-coated. In one of our previous blog posts we talked about how top-coated labels – which is the only face-stock that we use – will lower your total cost of ownership compared to uncoated labels. And while that’s a major reason why you should switch to top-coated labels, there are actually many more benefits you get from making the switch.

If you’re with a company that needs a lot of labels, it can be tempting to order on price alone to save a few bucks. But at OMNI Systems™, we discourage our clients and prospective customers from this approach and instead ask them to take a look at the bigger picture: total cost of ownership.
