Wax, resin and wax/resin ribbons
Different applications require different levels of durability. Dial A Label supplies three core ribbon types to suit a range of environments and label materials.
- Wax ribbons are a cost-effective option for general-purpose labelling, commonly used with paper labels for shipping, retail and warehouse identification.
- Wax/resin ribbons are a balanced option that offers improved durability and resistance compared to wax alone, suitable for mixed-use applications.
- Resin ribbons are designed for demanding environments where labels must resist heat, moisture, chemicals or abrasion. Commonly used with synthetic labels for long-term identification and compliance.
Choosing the right ribbon helps ensure clear print quality, longer label life and reduced reprints.
Designed to work with your labels and applications
Thermal transfer ribbons are designed to work in combination with specific label materials and printers. Using the right ribbon helps improve print consistency, reduce wear on printheads and support reliable scanning.
