Wax Ribbons
Wax ribbons have a high percentage of wax based substance in the colorant. Most wax ribbons are made with a single colorant layer. Since waxes have lower melting points than resin substances, printing can be done at lower heat settings or energy levels. As waxes are softer image durability is less against smudge, scratch, chemical and environmental resistance.
Wax ribbons can be used for general purpose labeling, shipping labels, address labels, garment tags, price tickets, warehouse applications, compliance label printing, including shelf and bin labels, retail tag and label applications.
Resin Ribbons
Resin Ribbons contain the highest percentage of resin materials. Most Resin ribbons are made up of two or more layers. Printing with resin ribbons is done at high energy levels or heat settings as resins have a high melting point. Low print speeds can be achieved due to the high energy levels required for printing. But the resultant printing images bear a very high resistance to chemicals, heat, abrasion resistance and other environmental conditions.
Resin Ribbons are best suited for use with textile apparel or garment labels like (taffeta / satin), high gloss coated materials like polyesters, polyolefins, destructible vinyl, warranty void labels, labels which are to be exposed to harsh environments like chemical drum labels, medical and pharmaceutical labeling, as well as industrial and automotive applications.
Washcare Ribbons
Ink ribbons used to print taffeta rolls for wash care labels are designed to deliver clear, long-lasting print quality on fabric materials. They produce sharp text, symbols, and barcodes that remain legible after repeated washing, drying, and daily use.
In addition to garments, these ink ribbons are widely used for printing labels for mattresses, bedding, and upholstery, where durability and readability are essential. They offer strong resistance to fading, smudging, and abrasion, even in demanding environments. For manufacturers, high-quality ink ribbons improve print consistency, reduce downtime, and ensure professional, compliant labeling across apparel, mattress, and upholstery applications.
Date Coding Ribbons
Date coding ribbons are widely used for marking manufacturing dates, batch numbers, and expiry information on packaging and products. Commonly applied in food, beverage, pharmaceutical, and industrial sectors, these ribbons produce clear, permanent codes that resist smudging and fading. Date coding ribbons deliver consistent print quality on a variety of surfaces, including paper, plastic, and foil packaging.
Their reliable performance supports high-speed production lines and helps manufacturers meet traceability and regulatory requirements. By ensuring accurate and legible date codes, date coding ribbons play a vital role in quality control, product identification, and supply chain transparency.
Barcodes can only be scanned if the print quality of the labels is good.
