BPA FREE Thermal Receipt Paper
By: POSGuys - 12/11/2014

BPA or Bisphenol A is a chemical used in plastic manufacturing to harden plastics.  In 2008 there was information published on how it could be very harmful to people (<a href="http://www.webmd.com/children/environmental-exposure-head2toe/bpa" target = "blank"> more info </a>) Where it comes in to play with point of sale is in receipt printing in particular in the paper used by <a href="http://posguys.com/receipt-pos-printer_12/">thermal receipt printers</a>. There was a concern that thermal <a href="http://posguys.com/receipt-paper_57/Thermal-Paper_267/">receipt paper</a> may use BPA in the creation of the thermal paper or in the cores that the paper is wrapped around.

Because of this very real risk POSGuys.com contacted the paper manufacturer's that it uses to make sure that they did not use BPA in the creation of the paper.  At first their was some uncertainty by the manufacturers on if the supplies that they use had BPA or not, so they created a line of thermal paper that they knew for sure was BPA free.  After double checking with their suppliers and chemical providers they were able to give us with certainty that none of the paper that they use has BPA in it, so we stopped the sale of our higher priced BPA Free Paper and instead labeled our standard thermal receipt paper <a href="http://posguys.com/receipt-paper_57/Thermal-Paper_267/XWP-T220_11424/">XWP-T220</a> as <u>BPA FREE</u>.
