Rising Demand for Copper Plates and Thermal Paper Labels Fueled by Logistics and Retail Growth
Release Time：
2025-08-13
Summary:
The market scale of printable labels using copperplate paper and thermal paper has achieved a 15% annual growth rate. Among them, demands from logistics express waybills and retail price tags account for over 60%, with the market showing a differentiated competition pattern and significant premium space for high-end customized products.
The explosive growth of the logistics industry has become the largest driver for thermal paper label demand. With annual growth of 20% in e-commerce orders, the demand for thermal paper labels for express waybills has exceeded 10 billion. These labels need high-speed printing adaptability (120mm per second) and scratch resistance. Thermally treated surfaces can withstand friction and collisions during express sorting, ensuring clear transportation information. Data shows that in 2024, thermal paper label purchases in logistics grew by 22% year-on-year, accounting for 42% of the overall market share.
Copperplate paper labels dominate the retail sector. Weighing labels in supermarket fresh areas and ingredient labels on cosmetic bottles mostly use copperplate paper. Its advantages lie in high color saturation for delicate product patterns, and with waterproof coating, it can adapt to refrigerated environments. Purchase data from a supermarket chain shows that the annual replacement rate of copperplate paper labels reaches 35%, mainly due to increased price tag updates caused by frequent promotions.
Market competition shows polarization: the low-end market focuses on standardized labels with fierce price competition and profit margins of 8%-10%; the high-end market focuses on customized services, such as irregular copperplate labels for red wine bottles and thermal labels with anti-counterfeiting QR codes, with profit margins over 25%. Meanwhile, regional differences are obvious: first-tier cities have higher acceptance of eco-friendly labels, while second and third-tier cities focus more on cost control.
With diversified consumption scenarios, the copperplate and thermal paper label market is developing from single-function to multi-functional composites, such as food labels with antibacterial functions and degradable logistics waybills, injecting new growth momentum into the market.
