THERMAL TRANSFER RIBBON

What is Thermal Transfer Ribbon (TTR) ?

Thermal Transfer Ribbons or also known as barcode ribbons are mostly used for printing variable information. This particularly concerns the information for identification, such as barcodes, batch codes and expiry dates. We provide a comprehensive selection of barcode printer ribbons. Wax ribbon, Wax/Resin ribbon, and Resin ribbon are the three most common types of a barcode printer ribbon. We have a ready supply of barcode printer ribbons in up to 30 different sizes on hand. In addition, we accept orders for customized barcode printer ribbons.

The Most Important Facts: 

  1. Thermal transfer labels that are both standard and waterproof are ideal for this product.
  2. More resistant to severe handling, moisture, and temperature fluctuations than full wax; the printed area is harder than full wax.
  3. The price range that is in the middle
  4. Barcodes, shipping labels, prescription medication labels, and shelf labels are all possible applications.
  5. Ideal for medium- to long-term/standard-duty applications
  6. Suitable for use in an interior environment and with exposure to moisture and handling, as well as scratching, abrasion, sunshine, and mild temperature fluctuations.

Thermal Ribbons

Thermal ribbons made of wax are the most cost-effective option available. S&K Asia is excellent for simple, all-purpose applications such as shipping labels and retail labels, among others. Because of their complete wax composition, a lower melting temperature is required, resulting in a lighter print. It is less long-lasting, but it is also less costly. Thermal transfer wax ribbon is one of the most often used kinds of ribbon for sticker printing, and it is available in a variety of colours. The fact that this kind of ribbon does not have a thermal coating means that it does not need heating to the same temperatures as direct thermal ribbons do. Thus, media is transferred onto the ribbon in a shorter period of time. Due to the fact that the medium is printed on the label and then fused to it, the printing is heat, moisture, and abrasion-resistant. Consequently, this printing technique is used by a large number of sticker label printing machines.
