Choosing a handheld printer

Choosing the best style of thermal handheld printer will all depend on what you’ll primarily use it for; be that laminated labels, tickets, receipts, or signage. Thermal printers are unique in that they use heat-sensitive rolls to ‘burn’ text and images to thermal paper, producing cost-effective and smudge-resistant prints without the need for consumables like ink cartridges and toner.

Our P-touch labeller range features portable handheld printers that are perfect for both work and leisure use. Producing quick and easy-to-read labels, it’ll help keep you organised in the office, at home, and anywhere in between. The P-touch series is also great for those that work in more technical fields, producing barcoded labels in mere moments. A durable range with laminated labels that have been tested to the extreme.

Then there’s our RuggedJet range. Direct thermal handheld printers are ideal for helping run events, or if your business doesn’t stay in one spot. Each model can produce receipts, tickets, quotes and invoices on the go, with speed and efficiency every time. They’re also extremely robust and can be used in almost any indoor situation.
