FAQ: Boarding Pass Paper
1.What kind of paper is used for boarding passes?
Most traditional printed boarding passes use thermal paper, a special coated paper that prints without ink. Heat from the printer activates the chemical coating on the paper surface to produce black text and barcodes. Some airlines or airport kiosks also use plain bond paper for A4 printed boarding passes when passengers print at home.
2.Why do boarding passes use thermal paper?
Thermal paper is low-cost, fast to print and requires no ink cartridges, perfect for airport self-service kiosks. It can clearly print 2D barcodes, passenger names, flight numbers and gate information needed for boarding verification.
3.How long does thermal boarding pass paper last?
Thermal prints fade over time. Under normal room temperature, legible content usually lasts a few weeks. Exposure to sunlight, high heat, plastic wallets or alcohol will speed up fading and may make the barcode unreadable.
4.Can I print my boarding pass on regular A4 paper at home?
Yes. Many airlines accept home-printed boarding passes on standard A4 plain paper. Make sure the page scaling is correct, the barcode is complete and clear, without smudges or cuts.
5.Is thermal boarding pass paper waterproof?
No. Thermal paper is not waterproof. Water or liquid spills will blur or erase the printed information quickly.
6.Can I reuse thermal boarding pass paper?
No. Thermal paper only supports one-time thermal printing. You cannot erase and reprint new information on it.
7.Do I still need a paper boarding pass?
Not always. Most airports support mobile boarding passes via airline apps. But paper copies are still recommended as backup, especially for flights with poor phone signal or international travel.
