Width 33mm Length 600mm Plastic core near-edge TTO ribbon

This 33mm wide, 600mm long thermal transfer ribbon is engineered for near-edge printing applications, delivering crisp, high-contrast results on a plastic core. Designed specifically for TTO (thermal transfer overprinting) systems, it serves high-speed date coding and variable information printing across a range of flexible packaging and label substrates. The ribbon is constructed to work effectively with plain paper, coated paper, and glossy labels, as well as synthetic materials such as PP, PET, and PE films, making it a versatile consumable for modern production lines.

Performance-wise, this ribbon is built for demanding environments, offering excellent wear and heat resistance that supports operating temperatures up to approximately 100°C. This durability ensures printed codes remain legible and intact during handling, transit, and storage. The ribbon supports a recommended speed range of 16 ips up to 400 mm/s, allowing for efficient, high-throughput printing without sacrificing character clarity, even for small fonts and intricate barcodes. For buyers, this translates to reliable, smudge-free outputs that maintain sharpness on every pass, reducing reprints and downtime while ensuring traceability codes remain scannable throughout the supply chain.

This ribbon is well-suited for a broad spectrum of industries, including food packaging date printing, pharmaceutical batch and traceability labels, logistics warehousing tags, and manufacturing process identification. It also handles applications such as clothing hang tags, cosmetic batch numbers, automotive parts identification, and agri-product traceability. When selecting, confirm that your printer’s ribbon length and core size match these specifications, and verify compatibility with your specific flexible packaging film for optimal adhesion.
