Report Overview
Thermal transfer overprinters are used to print on many types of flexible packaging materials and some rigid substrates as well. Thermal transfer technology allows for continuous or intermittent printing of date codes, batch codes, bar codes, text and other graphics.
This printing technology is ideal when the print quality of thermal transfer printing is required in-line for printing of variable information and real-time data. With this technology, a thermal printhead transfers heat through thermal transfer ribbon to mark the substrate clearly and quickly.
Thermal transfer overprinters are easily integrated into most forms of labeling and packaging machinery such as form, fill and seal machines used in food, pharmaceutical, electronics and other markets. Thermal transfer overprinters are a desired print method for bags and pouches, which are growing popularity in all markets for their sustainability and convenience attributes
