Comprehensive POS Paper Roll Size Guide: Which Paper Fits Your POS System?

Introduction:

When running a business, choosing the right POS paper rolls is crucial to ensuring smooth transactions and proper receipts. Understanding the various paper roll sizes is essential for optimizing your business operations. In this guide, we’ll explore the most common POS paper roll sizes, including 57mm and 80mm, and help you determine which one is best for your POS system.

1. What are POS Paper Rolls?

POS paper rolls are thermal rolls used in receipt printers for point-of-sale systems. These rolls are made of heat-sensitive paper, allowing them to produce text and images when heated by the printer. Thermal paper rolls come in various sizes to suit different machines, from cash registers to credit card terminals.

2. Common POS Paper Roll Sizes

Here are the most common sizes you will encounter:

  • 57mm Paper Rolls
    Commonly used in small credit card machines, mobile POS systems, and handheld terminals. These rolls fit systems such as Verifone, Ingenico, and other portable devices.
  • 80mm Paper Rolls
    Ideal for most modern POS systems, including Epson, Star Micronics, Bixolon, and more. This size is standard for receipt printers used in retail, hospitality, and banking.
  • 2 1/4" x 60' Paper Rolls
    Perfect for credit card machines and small receipt printers. These rolls fit machines like Square, Clover, and Moneris, and are great for short receipt generation.
  • 2 5/16" x 400' Paper Rolls
    Specially designed for gas station pumps and pay-at-the-pump machines, these rolls are compatible with systems like Dresser Wayne, Speedpass, and Vista Systems.
  • Custom Sizes
    For businesses with unique needs, MilaMima offers custom-sized thermal paper rolls, including multi-purpose options for kitchen printers, calculators, and office uses.

3. Why Choose BPA-Free Thermal Paper?

BPA-free thermal paper rolls are an environmentally friendly choice that ensures the safety of your employees and customers. Many POS paper rolls, especially those used in food service and medical environments, are made BPA-free to reduce health risks.

4. How to Choose the Right POS Paper Roll

Choosing the right POS paper roll size depends on your business's specific needs:

  • For Retailers: 80mm and 57mm rolls are ideal for most point-of-sale printers.
  • For Gas Stations: Opt for 2 5/16" x 400' rolls for pumps.
  • For Small Businesses: 2 1/4" x 60' or 2 1/4" x 150' rolls work well with credit card terminals and smaller printers.
