The right ribbon decides whether a barcode scans every time or smears in a week. Our thermal transfer ribbons come in wax, wax/resin, and resin, in widths from 56mm to 110mm, so you can match the ribbon to your label stock and your printer. Send us your printer model and label type and we will point you to the right part number.
Sizes available: 56 to 57mm ribbons for RT200 Series printers, 64mm and 110mm ribbons for G3x0 / GE3x0 Series printers (74m and 110m rolls on a 0.5-inch core), and 64mm and 110mm x 300m ribbons for G500, RT700i, and RT863i (1-inch core). Choose a ribbon at least as wide as your label.
Pair your ribbon with our thermal transfer labels or synthetic labels, or see Ribbons for Industrial Printers for wider, longer rolls.
A ribbon of wax, resin, or a blend that a thermal transfer printer melts onto the label to make the print. Direct thermal labels do not need one.
Resin is the usual match for synthetic labels such as poly, and for labels exposed to moisture, chemicals, or abrasion.
Each product page lists the printer series. Send us your exact model and we will confirm.
