Top 10 things to remember when buying Till Rolls

  1. Which type of till roll do you need? There are generally 2 types. Thermal which uses heat to produce print, and Non-Thermal which uses traditional Ink and impact to print
  2. What size Till Roll do you need? Our make and model finder can help you. Just search for your printer or card machine and this will bring the rolls you need
  3. Ensure, whoever you are buying from that you are getting BPA Free Rolls. All products containing BPA have been banned for sale within the UK and Europe for years now, but companies importing from China are not required to test to ensure their products are BPA Free.
  4. Paper thickness - You may find some till rolls advertised very cheap. Whilst they may appear cheap they aren't always good value (As you can see above)
