Research Summary
A thermal transfer ribbon is a key component in the thermal transfer printing process, commonly used for creating high-quality prints on labels and flexible packaging materials. The ribbon is a strip of material coated with a layer of ink on one side. In the thermal transfer printing setup, the ribbon is placed between the thermal printhead and the substrate (label or packaging material). When the thermal printhead selectively heats specific areas of the ribbon, the ink on the heated portions transfers onto the substrate, forming the desired text, barcodes, or graphics. Thermal transfer ribbons come in various formulations, including wax, wax-resin, and resin, each tailored for specific applications with varying durability and resistance characteristics. This versatile printing technology is widely utilized in industries such as logistics, manufacturing, and retail for its ability to produce clear and durable prints suitable for product identification and labeling.
The major global manufacturers of Thermal Transfer Ribbon include Ricoh, ITW, HANGZHOU TODAYTEC DIGITAL CO.,LTD, Zebra, TSC, Zhuoli Group (Zhuorim), ARMOR, IIMAK, General Co., Ltd., Dai Nippon Printing Co., Ltd., Fujicopian, Inkstar, etc. The global players competition landscape in this report is divided into three tiers.
