What Paper Do POS Machines and Credit Card Terminals Use?

If you run a retail store, café, or any small business, you’ve likely wondered: what kind of paper does my POS machine or credit card terminal need? Choosing the right POS machine paper or terminal carte de crédit roll is essential to keep your business running smoothly.

1. What Is POS Machine Paper?

POS machine paper is a special kind of thermal paper used in point-of-sale (POS) receipt printers. It reacts to heat and requires no ink, making it clean, fast, and efficient. Most POS systems today use thermal receipt rolls, typically in sizes like 2 1/4" x 50' or 3 1/8" x 230'.

2. What Paper Do Credit Card Terminals Use?

Machines like Moneris, Square, or Ingenico use thermal paper for printing receipts during credit or debit transactions. In French-speaking areas, this is often referred to as papier pour terminal carte de crédit. These rolls are compact and often BPA-free for added safety.

3. Key Features to Look For:

  • Size Compatibility: Check your machine’s manual to confirm roll width and diameter.
  • BPA-Free: For customer safety and environmental protection.
  • Canadian Stock: Fast shipping and local reliability.
