Armor Thermotransferband APR 6 Wachs/Harz 114mm schwarz

For labels that must survive scuffs, smudges, and the occasional chemical splash, the ARMOR APR 6 ribbon delivers a wax/resin blend that punches above its class. Unlike standard wax ribbons that fade under friction, APR 6 fuses resin toughness with wax printability, giving you crisp black text and barcodes on both paper and synthetic stocks. At 114 mm wide and 450 meters long, it fits most industrial flat-head printers, reducing roll changes on high-volume lines.

Highlights

• Wax/resin formulation for enhanced scratch and smudge resistance
• 114 mm width, 450 m length on 1-inch core – fewer changeovers
• Coated side out (CSO) for smooth feeding in flat-head printers
• Prints up to 250 mm/s on coated paper, polypropylene, PET, and more
• Heat resistance up to 100°C for demanding environments

In daily use

Load the APR 6 into your thermal transfer printer and run shipping labels, product IDs, or retail tags without worrying about legibility. The ribbon lays down dense black prints that stay readable through handling, light abrasion, and moderate chemical exposure. It is a practical choice for logistics, warehousing, and manufacturing where labels must remain scannable from dock to delivery.
