Wax ribbons are thermal transfer ribbons for label printing. Made with wax-based ink, they produce clear text and barcodes on paper labels. These ribbons provide a cost-effective solution for shipping, product labeling, and barcoding. While they offer good print quality, they are less resistant to abrasion, heat, and chemicals than resin or wax-resin ribbons. Wax ribbons work efficiently with thermal transfer printers for reliable labeling.
