An amazingly convenient and fast direct thermal printer that can help you print labels like the packaging boss we know you are! Equipped with USB AND Bluetooth functionality (for printing from mobile or tablet), the Pink HERO PRINTER is your new packaging BFF.
For so long we have been asked which is the best direct thermal label printer in Australia, and so we created our own! It took us months to perfect, but it’s officially the best in the market (according to us)...and it's so cute.
What is direct thermal, you ask? It means this printer requires no ink or toner! Save on hundreds of dollars on ink costs over the lifetime of the printer.
This printer works seamlessly with HEROLABEL rolls. Please note, this printer does not come with HEROLABELs.

If import duties are not paid by the recipient as required, the shipment will be diverted to commercial composting facilities for disposal and cannot be returned. No refunds will apply in these cases either.
Returns:
Change of mind: If you have purchased the wrong size, or no longer need your mailers, you may be able to return them for a store credit within 14 days of purchase. Due to the renewable ingredients used and shelf life of our mailers, no change-of-mind returns can be accepted under any circumstances after this period. We have a strict returns process to ensure all returns are received correctly and can be re-sold to other customers. Change of mind returns are also subject to handling and restocking fees and the original shipping cost being deducted from any store credit. If you need to return your mailers, please contact us for further instructions.
Pre-Order Information:
Occasionally, our mailers could be out of stock and move to a pre-order listing. This will be noted when purchasing the mailers and will also be noted in your order confirmation alongside any pre-order items.
No Split Shipments: Please note that if pre-order items are purchased together with regular items which are in stock, the entire order will be on hold until the pre-order stock is available for shipping (we cannot partially ship orders). If you wish to place a pre-order as well as purchase available items, it's best to purchase separately to avoid delays in shipping your order.
You will receive a shipping tracking notification as soon as your order has been dispatched. If you have any questions, please message us for assistance.
