Since the invention of thermal paper, there have been concerns about the way in which it can impact human health, specifically related to the use of BPA chemicals. BPA is used in the manufacturing of thermal rolls due to its heat resistance and stabilising properties, however, research has shown that it can pose health risks including allergic reactions, heart disease, infertility, and other serious conditions.
Although the use of BPA in paper rolls did not have a significant impact on health, there was an EU ban on the substance in January 2020 to reduce risks totally. Now all thermal rolls are BPA-free, including all of the products that we manufacture and stock on our website! Despite these rolls containing zero BPA chemicals, they still perform to the same standard and are compatible with all thermal printers, whether that be a cash register, EPOS system, credit card terminal, or ATM. You can now acquire thermal rolls that are durable, eco-friendly, and smudge-free, without any health risks!
