Do you need a solution more durable than a wax ribbon but more economical than a full resin ribbon? The wax/resin (mixed) ribbon is designed for this very purpose. It skillfully combines the advantages of wax and resin, making it a versatile choice for many industries.
As the name suggests, wax/resin ribbons are made from a blend of wax and resin. This combination retains the excellent printability and economy of wax while incorporating the enhanced durability of resin. They deliver a print that is more resistant to abrasion, scratching, and mild chemical exposure (like alcohol).
Balanced Performance: Achieves an excellent balance between cost, print quality, and durability.
Enhanced Durability: More scratch and abrasion-resistant than pure wax ribbons, capable of withstanding certain environmental challenges.
Good Material Compatibility: Suitable for various paper materials and some treated synthetic materials (like PET labels).
Manufacturing: Product identification labels, electronics labels, asset tracking tags that require moderate durability.
Logistics & Warehousing: Shipping labels that endure handling and transportation, packaging labels.
Retail: Durable product labels that need to last longer than standard price tags.
Healthcare: Labels for non-invasive medical device packaging, medicine bottle labels (compatibility should be verified).
If your labels need to withstand daily wear and tear, slight moisture, or mild chemical contact, but do not require extreme durability, a wax/resin ribbon is a smart choice for maximizing value.
