⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Elena Rodriguez - Senior Operations Manager, DiscoveryAir
"We’ve been using the Pro Model thermal paper for boarding passes since February 2025, and it’s transformed our ground operations. The IPX6 waterproof rating is a game-changer—passes remain fully legible even during monsoon-season boarding in Southeast Asia. The 24-month shelf life has reduced our inventory turnover and waste significantly. Print clarity on our Zebra industrial printers is consistently sharp, and the recyclable material aligns perfectly with our new sustainability KPIs."Purchase Date: February 2025 | Usage Period: 5 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ James Park - Event Coordinator, EventFlow Solutions
"I ordered a custom batch of thermal paper for a music festival last April, and it exceeded expectations. We needed durable, weather-resistant tickets that could handle outdoor check-ins in unpredictable weather. The nano-coated Advanced Model held up through rain and high humidity without fading. The integration of custom QR codes and holograms made fraud prevention seamless. Setup with our Epson portable printers was plug-and-play. Will definitely reorder for future events."Purchase Date: April 2024 | Usage Period: 8 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ Marcus Lee - IT Support, MetroTransit Hub
"We trialed the Advanced Model for our commuter rail ticketing kiosks starting in November 2024. After six months of high-volume use, the paper has shown excellent resistance to smudging and tearing, even with frequent passenger handling. The mechanical pulp base provides just the right rigidity for smooth feeding in automated systems. One minor issue: the thicker coating occasionally caused jams in older kiosk models, so firmware updates were required. Overall, a solid upgrade from our previous supplier."Purchase Date: November 2024 | Usage Period: 6 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Dr. Amina Patel - Sustainability Director, GreenSkies Alliance
"As part of our airline consortium’s green initiative, we evaluated several thermal paper options. This 100% recyclable paper board with bamboo fiber stood out for its EN 13432 compostability certification and low environmental impact. Since switching in January 2025, we’ve reduced non-recyclable waste by an estimated 3.2 tons annually. The fact that it still delivers 14-day thermal stability and scratch resistance means we didn’t sacrifice performance for sustainability—a rare win-win."Purchase Date: January 2025 | Usage Period: 6 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ Diego Mendez - Owner, PrintLocal Studio
"I ordered a small batch of custom-sized thermal paper for personalized event invitations and VIP access passes. The ability to specify coating density and paper thickness gave me precise control over the final look and feel. Prints came out crisp on my Bixolon SRP-350, and the slight waterproofing helped during outdoor venue testing. Only downside: the lead time was about 10 days longer than expected due to the NFC chip option I requested. But the end result was professional and durable."Purchase Date: March 2025 | Usage Period: 3 months
