Thermal-transfer ink ribbons for paper labels
Thermal-transfer in logistics
Thermal-transfer ink ribbons made on a wax base are the right choice for printing paper labels, also in large runs. Print quality is high, even on rough surfaces,
yet wax ribbons are especially cost-efficient.
Many sectors rely on labels printed with thermal-transfer foils made of wax. They are especially popular in logistics, commercial shipping and warehousing.

Main properties and print requirements
Thermotransfer-Farbbänder für Papieretiketten
The term "thermal-transfer ink ribbon" is often used synonymously with the terms "thermal-transfer foils" and "carbon ribbons". Wax-based thermal-transfer ribbons are very resistant to light and durable enough for simple requirements. Paper labels in particular, and occasionally smooth surfaces and plastics, are printed with little pressure energy. If your labels need to be especially smear and scratch resistant, opt for wax-resin ribbons. Wax ribbons are only available in black.
Wax-based thermal-transfer ink ribbons can be used in all conventional flat-head printers and have multiple certifications: a range of wax ribbons have been approved by ISEGA for use in the food industry, and most wax ribbons are free of heavy metals as per CONEG and 94/62EG. Wax ribbons from KURZ can be disposed of with household waste.
