high-quality barcode but they are much cheaper than durable laser sheet, polyester, or vinyl labels.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These thermal BOPP labels would come in one of two formats: <strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.smithcorona.com\/direct-thermal-labels.html\">Direct Thermal<\/a> <\/span><\/strong>(no
