Choose receipt rolls that fit your printer and meet your business needs, such as thermal or non-thermal paper and single or multi-ply rolls. Custom rolls with pre-printed information are available but more expensive.
The best receipt rolls for you are the ones that can fit in your receipt printer and can provide any additional functionality you need from your receipts. Typically you should decide between thermal receipt paper and non-thermal paper, which usually depends on the type of receipt printer you have. Your particular business needs may also require choosing between single ply rolls or multi-ply rolls such as two- and three-ply rolls. There are also custom receipt rolls you can order, which may have information about your business pre-printed on the back of the receipt, though these are often more expensive.
Receipt rolls are rolls of receipt paper that can be loaded into a receipt printer, which then prints receipts onto the paper. Generally you should make sure you only buy rolls of receipt paper that can work with your receipt printer, and the manual that came with your printer should tell you what size and type of paper to use. Most printers work with thermal or non-thermal paper. Thermal printer paper uses heat to imprint the image onto the paper itself, while non-thermal receipt rolls typically use ink and a cartridge inside the printer.
You might also want to consider receipt rolls that come in more than one layer. These rolls print one or more copies of a receipt as the original receipt is printed, which are then typically rolled onto secondary rolls inside the receipt printer. A roll of two-ply receipt paper prints a copy of each receipt, usually on yellow paper, which is usually kept by the company that prints the receipt. There are also three-layer receipt rolls that make two copies of each printed receipt, and these are often used by businesses that may need copies of receipts across multiple departments.
Custom receipt rolls can be created by printing companies that specialize in printing receipt paper rolls. These are typically created with an image or text printed on the back of the receipt paper itself, before it is rolled onto the center hub of the roll. When properly fed into a receipt printer, the receipt information is printed on the front of the receipt, which is blank, and only the pre-printed image is left on the back. While these types of receipt rolls can be more expensive than standard rolls, they make it easier for businesses to print contact information and company logos on the back of receipts.
