Choose the right receipt paper for your printer, whether thermal or non-thermal, and consider single or multi-ply rolls. Custom rolls with pre-printed business information are available but more expensive.
The best receipts for you are the ones that can fit on your receipt printer and can provide any additional functionality you need from your receipts. You usually have to 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 you to choose between single-ply rolls or multi-ply rolls, such as two-ply and three-ply rolls. You can also order custom receipt rolls, which can feature 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 on the paper. In general, you want to 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 either thermal or non-thermal paper. Thermal printer paper uses heat to print the image on the paper, while non-thermal receipt rolls typically use ink and a cartridge inside the printer.
You can also 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 wound onto secondary rolls within the receipt printer. A two-ply roll of receipt paper prints one copy of each receipt, usually on yellow paper, which is usually kept by the company that prints the receipt. There are also three-ply receipt rolls that create two copies of each printed receipt, and these are often used by companies that may need copies of receipts in multiple departments.
Custom receipt rolls can be created by printing companies that specialize in printing receipt paper rolls. They are typically created with an image or text printed on the reverse side of the receipt paper, before it is rolled onto the center 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 the back is left with just the pre-printed image. While these types of receipt rolls can be more expensive than standard rolls, they allow businesses to more easily print contact information and company logos on the back of receipts.
