Home/Products/Self-adhesive labels/Thermal Transfer Ribbons

The ink ribbon that prints your labels, even in tough environments

For printing your labels by thermal transfer, durable inks, matched to your constraints.

Ink built to hold up in your real conditions

Our thermal transfer ribbons are selected to resist cleaning agents and the demanding conditions of the food and distribution sectors, as well as construction and industrial settings, anywhere a print needs to stay legible.

Three ribbon types, depending on the use

The right ribbon depends on the label and what it will go through. Here is how to choose.

RibbonResistanceTypical use
WaxLeast resistantRegular paper labels and shipping labels.
Wax and resinMedium resistanceSpecial paper or a synthetic label applied to an object, without rubbing. Since the surface does not absorb ink, a little resin helps the ink hold.
ResinMost resistantSynthetic (polypropylene) labels that are washed with products, exposed to sun or used outdoors.
