Through the application of its own research and development in the field of thermal papers, Koehler has reached a leading market position in this dynamic and still relatively rapidly growing sector of the papermaking industry. In just a few short years, the use of thermal papers has increased to many times the initial level of usage, whilst the number and variety of uses for thermal papers has mushroomed in numerous ways.
Today, thermal papers can be found in all areas of everyday life: cash receipts in supermarkets, transport tickets, distribution and product labels, medical and scientific recording equipment etc. This rapid diversification of uses has come about through steady improvements in the performance and reliability of thermal paper in such aspects as image stability, printability and thermal resistance properties. The combination of microchip power and paper technology provides an imaging system with previously undreamed of levels of reliability, compactness, and cost effectiveness, particularly when delivering variable information printing at the point of use.
In order to satisfy the ever increasing demand for thermal papers, we have continued to invest into our thermal paper works in Kehl where we now run the most efficient state-of-the-art production plants that can be found anywhere in the world today.
All these factors are what have led to Koehler Thermal Papers becoming well known and established throughout every continent in the world. The certification of world market leaders as IBM or Epson demonstrate the high quality of Koehler Thermal Papers in the field of p.o.s. application.
