With a 360-meter length, this ribbon reduces changeover frequency, keeping your shipping, retail, and logistics workflows moving without interruption.

Highlights

• Wax formulation optimized for paper labels, tags, and vellum
• Coated side in (CSI) for compatibility with flat-head thermal transfer printers
• 55 mm width and 360 m length for fewer ribbon changes
• 1-inch (25.4 mm) cardboard core fits standard printer hubs
• Print speeds up to 250 mm/s (10 ips) for demanding applications
• RoHS and REACH compliant for environmental safety

In daily use

This ribbon excels in environments where throughput and cost per label matter. Shipping labels, retail price tags, warehouse rack labels, and general-purpose identification tags print with sharp, scannable edges. The wax ink offers standard scratch and smudge resistance—ideal for labels that are not exposed to harsh chemicals or heavy abrasion. For best results, pair with coated or uncoated paper facestocks and store in a cool, dry place between 5°C and 35°C.
