Thermal transfer is one of the most widely used methods for printing roll labels. The printer uses heat to transfer ink (via wax, wax-resin, or resin ribbons) onto the label surface, creating sharp, long-lasting, and easy-to-read prints. This method produces labels that are resistant to smudging, fading, and environmental conditions. To ensure the best results, it’s important to match the ribbon type to the label material.
Common applications of thermal transfer labels:
- Long-term product identification
- Asset tracking labels
- Outdoor labeling
- Laboratory and medical labeling
- Industrial and warehouse labeling
The labels are available in various materials, finishes, and adhesive types, making them suitable for both short-term and long-term use.
