Resin Thermal Transfer Ribbon
What is a Resin Thermal Transfer Ribbon?
Resin ribbons are produced using resin polymers, providing a robust and long-lasting result.
When resin is melted by the printer’s heat, the ink is transferred onto the label material. Resins are hard and provide the highest possible resistance against severe abrasion, harsh chemicals or other severe circumstances. Resin ribbons require a higher transfer temperature setting of the printer over wax or wax resin ribbons.
Those properties garantee that the resin ink bonds strongly with the label surface, creating highly durable prints. Resin ribbons, with their improved durability, are suited for applications that demand chemical resistance, outdoor exposure and extreme temperatures.
More than just a Ribbon
When you choose TSC Genuine Supplies, you’re not just purchasing high-quality ribbons — you’re also supporting a greener planet. For every purchased ribbon box, we plant a tree.
Trees are the foundation of a thriving, healthy planet. They regulate climate, improve air quality, promote soil health and support biodiversity by providing natural habitats for a wildlife. These green giants play a crucial role in water management, efficient energy consumption, provide economic benefits through ecotourism and contribute to mental and physical health.
In our mission for sustainable future, we partner with Treecelet who’s mission is to significantly enhance the planet‘s green cover and support thriving ecosystems. Through this partnership with Treecelet, we plant mangrove trees in coastal Kenya restoring biodiversity, generating income streams, stabilising coastlines and local communities threatened by poverty.
Each purchase contributes to the creation of lush forests, thriving wildlife, and happier communities.

Reasons to Choose RESIN Thermal Transfer Ribbons:
Chemical Resistance
You primarily choose resin ribbons because of their robust resistance to chemicals and harsh conditions. If your labels are exposed to oils, solvents and harsh chemicals, resin ribbons make a perfect choice. Industries such as chemical manufacturing, healthcare and automotive rely on resin ribbons to ensure that vital information on labels remains in perfect condition irrespective of challenging conditions.
Outdoor Applications
Resin ribbons are the best choice for outdoor labelling due to their resistance to UV rays and extreme weather conditions. You could be labelling products for outdoor storage or producing signage for outdoor events; resin ribbons ensure that your labels remain durable and authentic, keeping their quality intact.
High-Resolution Print
Resin ribbons are the best-suited option for applications that need high-quality graphics, barcodes or small fonts. The high-end printing abilities of resin ribbons ensure that every little detail is captured precisely, making them perfect for industries of all kinds, electronics, pharmaceuticals and manufacturing, where accuracy is of utmost importance.
Synthetic Label
Resin ribbons adhere exceptionally well to synthetic label surfaces; this includes polyester and polypropylene. This compatibility makes resin ribbons perfect for applications where synthetic labels are the best choice. They help with inventory management, asset monitoring and durable product labelling.
Durability
If longevity is the top priority for your labelling requirements, resin ribbons are the perfect choice. Their durability keeps the printed labels intact and pristine for an extended period, lowering the need for frequent replacements. Their durable nature significantly benefits industries with strict compliance needs, such as defence and aerospace.
What’s the difference between Standard Resin (SRE) and Premium Resin (PRE)?
More affordable, making them a cost-effective choice for many applications.
| STANDARD Resin (SRE) | PREMIUM Resin (PRE) | |
|---|---|---|
| FORMULATION | Primarily composed of resin, designed for general-purpose use. | Enhanced with advanced resin formulations for harsh environments. |
| PRINT QUALITY | Provides good print quality suitable for most applications. | Delivers exceptional print quality with sharper, more defined images and text. |
| DURABILITY | Offers high resistance to smudging, scratching, and chemicals, but not as robust as premium options. | Superior resistance to smudging, scratching, chemicals, and extreme environmental conditions. Ideal for harsh environments. |
| APPLICATION | Standard quality is sufficient for less demanding applications where cost is a primary concern. | If your labels need to withstand harsh conditions or require the highest print quality, premium resin ribbons are the better choice. |
| COST | More affordable, making them cost-effective choice for many applications. | Higher cost due to the enhanced formulation and improved performance. |
In summary, choosing between standard and premium resin ribbons depends on the specific needs of your printing application, including desired print quality, durability, and budget considerations.
