Ribbons and labels – essential consumables for label printers

Product labeling is the basis for the effective functioning of companies in many industries: from trade, through production, to transport and logistics. The use of labels ensures quick and correct identification of various types of goods, shipments, textiles, documents and many other items. Special label printers and tapes are used to properly mark products. Key information about the product is placed on the label: barcode, batch number, expiration date, warnings, etc.

Printer ribbons - uses and types

Ribbons are consumables for label printers. They take the form of a continuous piece of paper or foil for printing. The user decides on the print length. They come in the form of rolls or cassettes. They are commonly used in industry, production, pharmacy and trade, ensuring precise and durable marking of products. In electrical engineering, they allow for quick and clear marking of cables and wires. They are perfect for marking elements of variable lengths, e.g. shelves and documents. In addition to the identification function, they can play an informational and advertising role. The print is applied to the tape. There are different types of tapes, such as:

• resin tapes,
• wax ribbons,
• wax-resin ribbons,
• nylon tapes,
• vinyl tapes,
• polyester tapes,
• polypropylene tapes,
• self-laminating tapes,
• heat shrink tubing.

The differences lie primarily in the tape material, but also in size, color, appearance, and resistance to abrasion and moisture. Thermal transfer ribbons are particularly recommended for demanding applications, which allow for obtaining prints that are resistant to abrasion, scratching, and chemicals.

Printer Labels – Applications and Types

Labels are printer consumables sold in rolls. They are mainly used to print barcodes, texts, correspondence addresses, shipping lists, graphics and other markings of defined sizes. They consist of three layers: base material, adhesive and backing. There are different types of labels:

• paper and synthetic,
• thermal and thermal transfer,
• with permanent and removable glue.

The print on thermal transfer paper labels is much more durable than on thermal labels, thanks to the use of appropriate ribbons. When choosing a label, you should take into account the requirements of your printer. Not sure which ribbon or label to choose for your printer? Contact us!
