Chemical
Bar code labels that are used to identify chemicals within drums must be able to withstand the extreme environments they are routinely exposed to, and remain durable and readable throughout the life of the label. As these label/ribbon combinations are exposed to some of the harshest environments, it is critical that the information printed on the label stays on the label and is able to withstand salt water, solvents, UV exposure, and varying weather conditions. Typically resin ribbons are required.It is also important that this ribbon/label combination conform to certain standards for chemical applications like BS-5609, while providing the resistance and performance characteristics needed for these extremely challenging environments.
Electronics
Thermal transfer ribbons used in electronics applications need to be durable enough to withstand numerous manufacturing processes, high temperature extremes, soldering, chemicals, as well as shipping and assembly environments. Typical electronics applications where thermal transfer ribbons are used include: computers, printers, circuit boards, audio/video equipment and components, cell phones and other electronic mobile devices, toys and many other types of equipment that require a ribbon/label combination to support anti-static labeling requirements while delivering consistent print quality and performance.
Flexible Packaging
The flexible packaging market requires a durable ribbon that can print clean, smudge-free print and images at high speeds on a variety of flexible materials including BOPP, metalized polypropylene as well as coated and uncoated paper stocks. Our Thermal thermal ribbons that are specially formulated for compatibility with these substrates, as well as the higher printing speeds commonly used in these packaging applications including: food, snacks and beverage bags, pharmaceutical, pre-packaged items and much more. We also offers a white wax/resin ribbon that provides quick visual recognition of price codes, date codes, lot codes and other variable imagery that is printed on flexible packaging.
Healthcare
Bar code labels used in healthcare applications need to be reliable, durable and remain scanable. These thermal transfer ribbons need to be durable enough to withstand a number of conditions including autoclave resistance, solvents found in clean rooms and within the manufacturing process while maintaining legible print. Thermal transfer ribbons used in the healthcare environment contain critical information needed to assure proper and accurate identification of medication, blood bags, medical devices, and patient identification to improve safety and traceability in the healthcare environment.
Industrial
Industrial applications for thermal transfer ribbons can range from logistics, to tracking inventory, to tracking work in process, to product identification on name plates, serial tags, asset identification, warehouse racking, to durable goods. Thermal transfer ribbons used in these environments must be able to withstand harsh environments where chemicals, water and humidity, heat, scratch and abrasion resistance are required.
