Nowadays thermal transfer printing represents one of the most reliable solutions in several industries. It ensures durable, resistant and always-readable printings in different contexts, from product marking to identification. In the case of the medical and pharmaceutical fields, there are several factors influencing the final result, and the choice of the right TTR becomes even more crucial.
High temperatures, steam, humidity and chemicals are typical of the sterilization process, which is very common in these two production fields. Ignoring these elements can cause the printing to be non-resistant and, therefore, incomprehensible. In this article we will briefly suggest three products from our range which can be a winning choice when combined with the right printing surface.
QUEEN BEE: high-performance wax-resin for flat-head printers
Our premium wax-resin QUEEN BEE is one of our flagship products because of its versatility and resistance. Its particular formulation allows an excellent optical density on glossy paper, PP and PET. A good example among its several applications is variable data printing on hospital wristbands.
RESIN NE: ultra-resistant premium resin for near-edge printers
Our RESIN NE is the perfect solution for a resistant print on plastic and glossy surfaces. Its printings remain perfectly readable even when exposed to harsh conditions such as high temperatures, friction, alcohol and chemicals. For this reason, RESIN NE can be recommended for items undergoing sterilization processes, such as blood donation bags.
WR E20: durable wax-resin for flat head printers
Together with our QUEEN BEE, WR E20 is one of our premium wax-resins. It serves as a reliable solution in the medical field, especially for printing variable data on labels for laboratory instruments and on pharmaceutical packaging. In fact, it can be used for printing both on paper and PET surfaces, thanks to its exceptional print density and its resistance to chemicals and friction.
