Thermal transfer ribbons for durable printing
Thermal transfer ribbons are essential when using a thermal transfer printer. All our ribbons are compatible with flat-head printers, the most common type of thermal transfer printer. Our resin thermal transfer ribbon is also compatible with near-edge printers.
Thermal transfer ribbons produce sharp, clear prints that resist fading and remain legible over time. The ribbon material determines how well the print withstands friction, chemicals, moisture, and heat. To choose the right ribbon, it's important to consider the material you're printing on and the level of wear and tear the label will be exposed to.
Here's a comparison of the different ribbon types:
| Ribbon type | Suitable materials | Durability | Indoor or outdoor use | Common applications |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Wax* | Uncoated and coated paper | Low. Best suited for short-term applications. | Indoor use | Shipping labels, product stickers, loop-lock labels, hang tags, plant markers, self-adhesive labels on rolls |
| Wax/Resin | Paper, coated paper, PE, PP, HDPE, Tyvek® | Medium. Resistant to light friction, moisture, and common chemicals. | Indoor and limited outdoor use | Inventory labels, food labels, price tags, loop-lock labels, hang tags, plant markers, self-adhesive labels on rolls |
| Resin | PET, PVC, vinyl, HDPE, PP, Tyvek®, synthetic paper, films | High. Excellent resistance to heat, chemicals, moisture, scratches, and friction. | Indoor and outdoor use | Barcode labels, outdoor labels, safety and warning labels, loop-lock labels, hang tags, plant markers, self-adhesive labels on rolls |
