What must be on the shopping ticket?
At present, the cash receipts or shopping tickets issued by supermarkets and shopping malls are all thermal paper. The printed shopping receipt generally contains the following contents: sales unit name, contact information, cash register number, Bill serial number, cashier number, sales date, commodity name, quantity, unit price, commodity amount, total amount, payment method, paid in amount, change amount, bill printing time, etc.
What design will businesses do on their own small ticket paper
1. Store and cashier information: many stores will put store address and telephone number; Small ticket number, POS machine number, cashier information, etc. for internal settlement. This information is often ignored directly, but it may be useful in case of disputes.
2. Personalized design: business publicity, such as logo, advertising language and QR code. Big brands usually print logos on the top with a pattern on a pile of words, which is highly recognizable.
3. Advertising space: advertisements appear on the back of small tickets, which is one of the means to save costs and increase revenue. Some will put the promotion information of some commodities of merchants, especially in large shopping malls, and advertise for some counters.
4. Back design: some businesses will design their own unique brand information. For example, the back design of Starbucks uses four paragraphs to introduce the brand's efforts in environmental protection and corporate social responsibility.
Understand the small ticket paper - thermal paper
Small ticket paper is actually a member of the thermal paper family. Thermal paper is also known as thermal fax paper, thermal recording paper and thermal copy paper. It is a kind of processing paper. Its manufacturing principle is to coat a layer of "thermal coating" (thermal discoloration layer) on high-quality base paper.
Thermal paper
Ordinary thermal paper is not suitable for long-term storage, but good thermal paper can be stored for 30 years or even longer. POS machines, bar codes and shopping tickets we use daily belong to the category of thermal paper.
Color development principle of thermal paper:
The color development principle of molten transparent thermal paper is that a layer of opaque wax is coated on the black base paper as the surface layer, and the opaque wax material is melted and transparent by the action of hot pen, and the color of the bottom layer of the base paper is exposed to form an image.
The color development principle of metal compound chromogenic thermal paper is based on the common mixing of heavy metal salt and reducing agent of fatty acid, and the heating is used to melt the fatty acid salt and react with the reducing agent, so as to reduce the heavy metal and free color development.
The color development principle of colorless dye type thermal paper is based on the mixing of colorless dye containing inner alicyclic ring and color developing agent. Under the action of heat, the color developing agent reacts with colorless dye by heating and melting.
When the thermal paper is heated, the colorless dye reacts with the chromogenic agent to produce color. Therefore, when the thermal paper is used to receive the signal on the fax machine for printing or directly printed by the thermal printer, the picture and text will be displayed. Because there are many varieties used as colorless dyes, the writing colors are different, including blue, purplish red, black and so on.
