Thermal paper consists of a paper base with a heat-sensitive coating. This coating creates the printed image in direct thermal printing. The exact composition is a property of the particular paper.
BPA-free and phenol-free describe different material properties. A BPA-free roll is therefore not automatically offered as phenol-free. The specifications of the particular item are decisive.
For the converted Coreless items with article numbers starting with 4, Papierdiscount24 specifies phenol-free 70 g/m² paper without a plastic core. Item 32100, including its pack variants, is BPA-free and coreless; it is not described as phenol-free. The existing BPA items with article numbers starting with 1 have a plastic core.
Here, Coreless means without a plastic core. An inner opening may still be present. Linerless, by contrast, describes labels without separate backing paper; it is not another word for coreless receipt rolls.
If you are looking for environmentally friendly receipt rolls, you can compare the material and core construction specifically. We do not infer any general CO₂ savings, environmental certification or health advantage from these properties. Also choose dimensions that suit your device.
