What Is On-Demand Labeling?

On-demand labeling is the process of printing labels exactly when you need them, in the quantities you need—no more, no less. This modern approach reduces waste, supports variable data printing, and allows for faster response to production changes.

At PaladinID, we’ve helped businesses across the country shift from outdated bulk printing to flexible, scalable on-demand label printing systems. It’s one of the easiest ways to modernize your operation.

Types of On-Demand Labeling Technologies

At PaladinID, we support all major label printing methods. Here’s a breakdown of each:

1. Thermal Transfer Labels

Perfect for long-term durability, especially in tough environments.

• How it works: Uses a ribbon to transfer ink onto the label surface
• Best for: Asset labels, inventory, compliance, and product ID
• Key benefits: Fade-resistant, scratch-resistant, long-lasting print

2. Direct Thermal Labels

Great for short-term applications and cost savings.

• How it works: Heat-sensitive labels darken when exposed to a printhead
• Best for: Shipping labels, receipts, temporary signage
• Key benefits: No ribbon required, fast and easy to use

3. Inkjet Labels

Designed for vibrant color and photo-quality graphics.

• How it works: Liquid ink is sprayed onto the label material
• Best for: Custom product labels, branding, GHS labels
• Key benefits: Stunning print quality on paper, poly, and BOPP materials

4. Laser Labels

Ideal for high-volume and office-based printing.

• How it works: Uses toner to create crisp, clean prints
