Accessories — Printer Paper

Receipt and label paper matched to your Square printer

Keep checkout, prep, and fulfillment moving with paper rolls sized for Square-compatible printers. Square’s U.S. catalog lists 57 mm thermal rolls for Square Terminal, 80 mm thermal rolls for receipt printers, 76 mm rolls for impact printers, liner-free label rolls, barcode labels, and dedicated rolls for portable and cash-drawer printer combinations.

Built for your day-to-day

How it fits your business

For a coffee shop or bakery, Terminal paper supports receipts at a compact counter or pop-up station. For a pizzeria, quick-service restaurant, or retailer, the wider rolls and label formats can support counter receipts, kitchen tickets, or item labeling when paired with a compatible printer. Check the printer or device match before ordering; paper width and printer type are not interchangeable.

Key capabilities

What you can do

  • Choose the roll for the device

    The catalog distinguishes 57 mm Terminal rolls, 80 mm receipt-printer rolls, 76 mm impact-printer rolls, 45 mm portable-printer rolls, 58 mm cash-drawer-combo rolls, and several liner-free or barcode-label formats. That makes the printer model and paper width the key buying checks.

  • Keep Square Terminal receipts in rotation

    Square Terminal has a built-in receipt printer and uses paper rolls 57 mm wide with up to a 38 mm diameter. The Terminal-specific pack is listed as 20 rolls, so it is a practical replenishment item for mobile checkout or a small counter.

  • Support receipts, tickets, and labels

    With a compatible printer, Square’s point of sale can print receipts and order tickets, route categories to different printers, and print item labels when the relevant setup is enabled. Paper alone does not add these software functions; it supplies the consumable for an already-connected printer.

  • Several listed rolls are phenol-free

    Square’s U.S. catalog identifies the 80 mm receipt, 76 mm impact, liner-free, cash-drawer-combo, and portable receipt paper listings as phenol-free. The catalog does not make that claim for every paper or label format, so it should not be generalized across the category.

  • Plan for printer connectivity, not just supplies

    Square documents USB, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and Ethernet printer connections. USB printers are tied to one POS device; a Bluetooth printer can be paired with only one POS device at a time; network printers require the POS and printer to share a network. These operating constraints can matter as much as the paper choice in a busy service area.

Product details

What is listed in the U.S. catalog

The current U.S. accessories catalog lists Terminal paper at $29 for 20 rolls; 80 mm thermal receipt paper at $99 for 24 rolls; 76 mm impact paper at $89 for 36 rolls; 40 mm, 58 mm, and 80 mm liner-free label paper at $89 for 12 rolls, $95 for 8 rolls, and $99 for 8 rolls respectively; 2 x 1 inch barcode labels at $109 for 6 rolls; 2.2 x 0.5 inch jewelry labels at $249 for 6 rolls; 58 mm receipt-printer/cash-drawer paper at $89 for 36 rolls; and 45 mm portable receipt paper at $79 for 50 rolls. Each format has a stated compatibility match in the catalog.

Setup and operating limits

For Terminal, load the roll with the loose end facing out and test it from More > Settings > Hardware > Printer > Print test; Square notes that reorienting the roll may resolve a print failure. Terminal requires Wi-Fi or Ethernet for full setup, and Ethernet requires the Terminal Hub. Square also says U.S.-intended hardware is approved for its intended country, not automatically for use abroad. For order tickets, a printer profile, a connected supported printer, and the relevant order settings are required.

Best fit by workflow

A coffee shop, bakery, or food truck can use the Terminal-specific rolls for printed customer receipts at a compact or mobile station. A quick-service restaurant or pizzeria may need 80 mm receipt rolls, impact paper, or liner-free labels depending on whether its printer produces counter receipts, kitchen tickets, or labels. A grocery or clothing retailer may use receipt rolls or barcode labels, but the printer and label-size match must be confirmed before purchase.

This is a consumables category rather than a subscription. The primary Terminal paper listing is $29.00 for 20 rolls. Other listed U.S. packs range from $79.00 for 50 portable 45 mm rolls to $249.00 for 6 rolls of 2.2 x 0.5 inch jewelry labels, with format-specific prices and compatibility.

Requirements

  • No paper-specific software subscription is stated by Square.
  • Use the roll format matched to the printer or device: for example, Square Terminal uses 57 mm-wide rolls up to 38 mm diameter.
  • Printing receipts or tickets requires compatible printer hardware and, for order tickets, a configured printer profile and connected supported printer.
  • Square Terminal setup requires Wi-Fi or Ethernet; Ethernet requires the Hub for Square Terminal.
  • Prices are U.S. catalog prices checked 2026-10-27 and may change; taxes and availability are not included in the listed price.

The category contains distinct consumables; a roll that fits one printer type may not fit another. Confirm the exact device, width, diameter, and label format before ordering.

Square’s catalog explicitly marks several formats phenol-free, but not every paper or label listing; do not extend that claim to the whole category.

Paper does not itself enable printing, order routing, labels, or kitchen workflows. Those depend on compatible hardware, Square software, network or device connections, and configured printer profiles.

The Terminal page states that payment processing has no monthly fees or long-term commitments, but processing rates and eligibility can vary by payment type and account terms.

Square says U.S.-intended hardware is approved for the country for which it is intended; this record is limited to the U.S. offering.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Which Square paper fits Square Terminal?

Square’s U.S. catalog lists 57 mm Thermal Receipt Printer Paper (20 rolls) as compatible with Square Terminal only. Terminal’s technical specifications say its paper rolls are 57 mm wide and up to 38 mm in diameter.

Does Printer Paper require a Square subscription?

Square does not state a paper-specific subscription. Printing still requires the relevant Square hardware or compatible printer and the software setup needed for the workflow. The Terminal specification lists no monthly fees or long-term commitments for Terminal, while payment processing remains transaction-based.

Can I use the same paper for receipts, kitchen tickets, and labels?

Not automatically. Square lists separate sizes and printer matches for receipt paper, impact paper, liner-free labels, barcode labels, cash-drawer-combo paper, and portable-printer paper. Choose the format that matches the printer and the job; order-ticket printing also requires a configured printer profile and connected supported printer.
