What Are Receipt Rolls?
Receipt rolls are rolls of paper used in point-of-sale devices and credit card machines to print transaction information. They come in various types and sizes, including:
- Thermal paper rolls: Heat-sensitive paper used in thermal printers—no ink required.
- Bond paper rolls: Standard 1-ply paper used with ink ribbon printers.
- Carbonless paper rolls: 2-ply or 3-ply rolls used to create duplicate or triplicate copies.
Each type serves a unique purpose, so choosing the right receipt paper is critical to your printer’s functionality and the clarity of the printout.

Check your printer’s manual or current paper roll to identify the width, length, and core diameter. The most common widths are 2 1/4" and 3 1/8".
Do thermal rolls require ink?
No. Thermal receipt rolls work with thermal printers that use heat to print, eliminating the need for ink or toner.
Are all receipt rolls BPA-free?
No. You should always verify if your thermal paper is labeled BPA-free. At MilaMima, we clearly identify and stock BPA-free options.
Can I recycle used receipt paper?
