Introduction

Thermal Transfer Paper (often called Vellum or TT Paper) is the industry standard for Permanent, Long-Life variable information labeling. Unlike Direct Thermal paper which fades over time, Thermal Transfer paper is designed to be printed with a Ribbon (Wax or Wax/Resin).

Our material features a specially smoothened, matte, uncoated surface that "grabs" the melted ink from the ribbon, creating a permanent bond. This makes it ideal for inventory that will be stored for years, or shipping labels that travel through hot/humid environments where direct thermal would turn black.

Technical Specifications

Typical Applications

  • Warehouse Inventory: Racking labels and box IDs that must stay readable for years.
  • Asset Tracking: Permanent barcodes for equipment.
  • Logistics: Shipping labels for long-haul transport.
  • Retail: Clothing hang-tag stickers (won't smudge like direct thermal).

Key Advantages

  • Archivability: The printed image is permanent and will not fade due to heat or light (unlike direct thermal).
  • Versatility: Compatible with almost every industrial label printer (Zebra, Sato, Honeywell) using standard wax ribbons.
  • Cost: slightly cheaper raw material cost than thermal paper, though you must factor in the cost of the ribbon.

    Material Structure

    The ribbon receiver:

    1. Face: Woodfree paper with a smoothing coating.
    2. Adhesive: Aggressive Hot Melt for cardboard adhesion.
    3. Liner: Glassine liner for sensor detection.
