KURZ TTR Unique is primarily a classic thermal-transfer color ribbon. Nowadays such ribbons are used throughout the world in logistics and workflow to label and identify products. Barcodes are usually printed on labels which are then attached to the products to be labeled. This enables automated – because it is machine-readable – tracking of products.
Secondly yet crucially, TTR Unique helps protect your products against counterfeiting. This is why we have furnished KURZ TTR Unique with the UV-activated elements mentioned above. With these we can provide foils, and thus your product, with your company logo, name, or any other feature you wish.
For you this means that your process chain requires no additional production step to introduce the brand-protection feature for your products, in addition to the existing automated tracking feature.
If you would like to print your barcode labels not only in black but also in your corporate color, we can formulate almost any color for you, which you can see right now using the gray resin ribbon example. Your labeled products not only bear an additional security feature, your brand recognition is also reinforced.

Just swap the existing – normally black – thermal-transfer ribbon for TTR Unique.
No other process steps are required!
TTR Unique can be used in conventional flat-head printers.
Use an appropriate, preferably smooth label material such as chromo paper or plastic labels, to best bring out the effects of TTR Unique.
To verify (in our case to visualize the hidden UV-activated marks), simply illuminate the label with a UV light source. This will not only track your product throughout the entire workflow and logistics chain, but also verify its authenticity.

This thermal-transfer foil underscores the uniqueness of your product and protects you and your customers.

That's why we call it TTR Unique.
