Resin Ribbons
Resin ribbons print barcodes and text that resist washing, rubbing, heat and chemicals. They are the right choice for polyester, polypropylene, nylon and textile labels. We slit them to the width and length your printer takes.

Overview
Thermal-transfer printers use a heated printhead to melt ink from a ribbon onto the label. The ribbon decides how long the print lasts. Resin gives the most durable result, which is why it is used for garment and care labels, asset labels and anything that must stay readable in tough conditions.
We supply resin ribbons slit to your width and length, wound ink-in or ink-out on the core your printer needs, for desktop and industrial printers.
Order ribbons together with our heat-seal or RFID labels and we'll match ribbon to label, so prints survive your process.

Questions
Ink-in or ink-out?
If the inked side faces out on the roll, it's ink-out (CSO). Not sure? Send a photo of your current ribbon.
How wide should the ribbon be?
At least as wide as your label, and no wider than your printhead. Send your printer model and label size and we'll match it.
Can I use resin on paper labels?
You can, but wax or wax-resin is usually better value for paper. Resin is for synthetics and textiles.
Do you supply colours?
Black is standard. Ask about colours for your application.
