Thermal transfer

TTO & TTR ribbons

Ribbon choice is a trade-off between cost and durability, and almost everybody starts one grade too cheap. Wax marks paper beautifully and scuffs off a crate. Resin survives a wash-down and costs more per metre. Wax-resin sits between the two and covers most of what a packing hall actually needs.

TTO & TTR ribbons

We supply near-edge ribbons for thermal transfer overprinters running on flow-wrappers and VFFS baggers, and flat-head ribbons for desktop and industrial label printers.

Width and length must match the machine — a ribbon that is too wide will not load, and one that is too narrow wears a track into the printhead. Send us the printer model and the core size and we will quote the exact roll.

The range

  • Wax ribbon

    Lowest cost per metre. Paper labels and cartons that are not handled roughly.

  • Wax-resin ribbon

    The workhorse. Films, laminates and semi-gloss labels. Good scuff resistance.

  • Full resin ribbon

    Chemical, heat and abrasion resistant. Synthetic labels, wash-down areas, drums.

  • Near-edge TTO

    For continuous and intermittent overprinters on flow-wrap and VFFS lines.

  • Flat-head TTR

    For desktop and industrial label printers.

Brand names identify the equipment this range is made to fit. Runicha Enterprises is an independent supplier and is not affiliated with, endorsed by or an agent of those manufacturers. Tell us your model and we will confirm the exact grade.

Worth knowing
  • Match the ribbon to the label, not just to the printer. A resin ribbon on the wrong facestock flakes straight off.
  • Ask for a sample roll before committing to a size. A twenty-minute trial on your own line settles the grade argument for good.
