Debit Paper Rolls: A Complete Guide for Businesses in Canada and Beyond
When running a retail store, restaurant, or any business that accepts card payments, one seemingly minor component plays a critical role—debit paper rolls. These small paper rolls keep your point-of-sale (POS) system running smoothly and ensure customers receive accurate transaction records. But not all paper rolls are created equal. In this blog, we explore the key features, benefits, and how to choose the best debit paper rolls that combine performance with sustainability.
What Are Debit Paper Rolls?
Debit paper rolls (also called receipt rolls or POS paper) are specialized rolls designed for debit and credit card terminals. They’re typically made of either thermal paper or 1-ply bond paper, depending on the machine and printing method.
Thermal paper uses a heat-sensitive coating to produce sharp, ink-free prints, making it ideal for modern thermal printers in POS systems, ATMs, gas stations, and banking terminals.
Common Sizes of Debit Paper Rolls
- 2 1/4" x 50' – Most popular size for mobile terminals
- 2 1/4" x 60' – Offers slightly longer usage per roll
- 2 1/4" x 85' – Best for countertop debit machines with larger capacity
Always check your device’s manual or current paper roll for exact dimensions before purchasing replacements.
