On June 13, the Canadian International Trade Tribunal officially launched an anti-dumping investigation into thermal paper rolls imported from China. If dumping is confirmed, Canada may impose provisional duties as early as September. This could result in significant price increases and potential stock shortages for thermal paper in the Canadian market, affecting retailers, logistics companies, and manufacturers who rely on thermal printing systems.
Thermal paper is a special paper coated with a heat-sensitive chemical layer. When exposed to heat from a thermal print head, the coating reacts to form sharp, high-resolution text or images—without using ink or ribbon. It's widely used in cash register receipts, barcode labels, tickets, and logistics tracking slips.
Selective Heating: The print head applies heat to specific areas of the paper.
Chemical Reaction: The heat activates dye and developer components in the coating.
Print Output: The result is a clean, smudge-resistant image that’s quick to produce.
Note: Thermal prints may fade over time if exposed to direct sunlight or high temperatures.
Fast & Reliable Printing for POS, shipping, and ticketing.
Low Cost of Ownership: No ink, toner, or ribbons required.
Compact and Quiet: Perfect for retail, food service, and healthcare environments.
Low Maintenance: Fewer moving parts reduce breakdowns and delays.
With potential trade restrictions ahead, thermal paper prices may rise sharply, and availability could tighten. Buyers are advised to place orders early to avoid disruption.
