Alpha® Free Direct Thermal POS Paper

Alpha® Free, the first direct thermal material formulated with Vitamin C instead of phenols or urea-based compounds, offers your customers a natural choice in POS receipt paper.

In response to increasing consumer requests for products made with more natural components, customers are asking for POS papers made without BPA or other phenol-based chemistry. Some providers have responded with POS papers made with urethane ureas (UU) or sulfonylureas (e.g., Pergafast® 201) instead of phenols.

Alpha® Free, the first direct thermal material formulated with Vitamin C instead of phenols or urea-based compounds, offers your customers a natural choice in POS receipt paper. Alpha® Free is manufactured exclusively by Appvion, a leading manufacturer of direct thermal papers. Appvion is also a pioneering innovator in direct thermal technology and eliminated BPA from its direct thermal products in 2006.

• Includes Vitamin C as a thermal image developer

• Natural yellow color on front (thermal imaging) side

• White backside suitable for printing promotional messages on the back

• Good imaging — ideal for economy point-of-sale receipts

• Made in the USA at an ISO 14001 certified facility
