What Makes a High-Quality Thermal Till Roll – A Buyer’s Checklist

September 19, 2024

Not all thermal till rolls are created equal. If you’re a business owner in Ireland, it’s important to know what to look for when purchasing receipt rolls for your POS system. Cheap paper may seem like a bargain, but poor-quality rolls can fade quickly, jam printers, and create extra costs.


Here’s your checklist for choosing the best thermal paper:


BPA-free certification

Always look for BPA-free paper, especially if customers and staff are regularly handling receipts. Paper2Paper supplies only safe, certified BPA-free rolls.


Consistent print quality

A high-quality roll will produce clear, sharp, and smudge-free text. This is essential for receipts, order dockets, and payment confirmations.


Long roll length

Longer rolls mean fewer changes during the day. Paper2Paper offers rolls with maximum length so you can print more with less interruption.


Correct core size

The inner core size affects how well the roll fits and feeds through the printer. Make sure the roll core matches your printer specifications.


Tightly wound and neatly cut

Good rolls are tightly wound to avoid paper jams. The edges should be cut evenly so the paper feeds smoothly and doesn’t tear.


Protective packaging

Thermal paper is sensitive to light and heat. We ship our rolls in protective wrapping to keep them in perfect condition from our warehouse to your counter.

  • How can I tell if a roll is good quality?

    Check the print clarity, how tight the roll is wound, and whether it feeds smoothly. Trusted suppliers like Paper2Paper guarantee consistency.

  • Is BPA-free paper always better?

    Yes. It’s safer for handling and preferred by many Irish businesses for health and safety reasons.

  • Does cheap paper damage printers?

    It can. Low-quality paper can leave residue or jam printers more frequently.

  • Can I order samples before committing to a large order?

    Yes. Contact us and we’ll help you test the right size and type for your setup.

Running multiple business locations—whether cafés, shops, or petrol stations—requires consistency. That includes making sure your receipt printers produce the same quality output across every site. Use the same roll size at each location Standardising on a specific thermal roll size (like 80x80mm or 57x40mm) simplifies ordering and training for staff. It also ensures each printer produces the same format receipt. Buy from one trusted supplier Using one supplier across all your locations guarantees consistent paper quality. Paper2Paper delivers nationwide, meaning all your branches—from Dublin to Donegal—get the same reliable products. Bulk ordering saves time and money Instead of ordering separately for each location, consolidate purchases into one bulk order. This reduces admin time and gives you access to lower prices. Train staff on proper handling Staff in every branch should be trained to load till rolls correctly, store paper properly, and spot issues like fading or jams. Consistency in training leads to consistency in customer experience.

Small businesses in Ireland rely on mobile card machines to take payments at markets, pop-ups, salons, and cafés. These machines require a specific type of thermal paper—usually 57x40mm rolls—that must be compact, reliable, and long-lasting.
