RollHero — EFTPOS Paper Rolls Guide
Every EFTPOS terminal and POS printer in New Zealand needs thermal paper rolls to print receipts. Choosing the wrong size means paper jams, wasted stock, and frustrated customers. This guide from RollHero — a Kiwi family-owned thermal roll supplier — covers everything you need to know about EFTPOS paper rolls in NZ.
Understanding EFTPOS Paper Roll Sizes
EFTPOS and POS thermal rolls come in standardised widths measured in millimetres. The two numbers describe width × diameter (e.g. 57×38mm means 57mm wide, 38mm diameter). Here are the sizes used across NZ:
| Roll Size | Common Use | RollHero Price From |
|---|---|---|
| 57×38mm | Compact EFTPOS terminals (Windcave, Ingenico, Sam4s) | From $0.42/roll |
| 57×40mm | Portable EFTPOS & mobile POS | From $0.42/roll |
| 80×80mm | POS receipt printers (Epson, Star, Bixolon, Citizen) | From $1.48/roll |
Not sure which size you need? Check the sticker on your terminal or measure the width of your current roll with a ruler.

How to Choose the Right EFTPOS Roll
When ordering thermal rolls for your business, consider:
- Size compatibility — always match the width and diameter to your terminal’s specifications
- Print quality — look for rolls with a smooth thermal coating for crisp barcodes and text
- Roll length — longer rolls mean fewer replacements during busy periods
- Bulk pricing — buying in boxes of 50 or 100 rolls significantly reduces per-unit cost
