With their two-sided thermal technology, Duotherm labels can be printed on their front and back simultaneously. This allows the reverse of the label, which would otherwise be wasted, to be used for invoice information, notes or other messages.

In addition to saving on paper and avoiding the cost of other consumables such as toners and plastic ‘document enclosed’ wallets, the Duotherm process substantially reduces the amount of staff time involved in labelling.

CheapSmells director, Janice Mancini, says: “We are heading for a material saving of £20,000 this year, mainly because the thermal printers don’t require toners. We are also enjoying the clean, fast, reliable operation of the thermal printers. Our conventional printers were constantly jamming and needed regular attention from an engineer, as well as routine reloading with toner.”
