Thermal Transfer Labels
Thermal transfer labels are a type of label that is printed using a thermal transfer printing process. This process involves using a thermal transfer printer and a ribbon (either wax, wax/resin, or resin-based) to transfer ink or coating onto a label material, typically a label stock or tag.
Key Characteristics of Thermal Transfer Labels:
1. Print Quality:
Thermal transfer printing produces high-quality, crisp, and durable images, text, and barcodes.
The print quality is superior to direct thermal printing, which can fade over time.
2. Durability:
Thermal transfer labels are resistant to scratches, smears, chemicals, moisture, and other environmental factors.
The durability depends on the type of ribbon used (wax, wax/resin, or resin).
3. Customization:
Thermal transfer labels can be customized with variable data, graphics, barcodes, and other information.
This makes them suitable for a variety of applications, such as product identification, shipping labels, asset tracking, and more.
4. Printing Technology:
Thermal transfer printing uses a heated print head to transfer ink or coating from the ribbon onto the label material.
This process provides precise control over print quality and detail compared to other labeling methods.
