Direct Thermal (DT) Labels
DT labels offer a high-quality barcode printing solution for numerous applications. Unlike thermal transfer printing, direct thermal does not require a thermal ribbon. Instead, the process uses heat to start the chemical reaction within the labels themselves. The image is formed directly on the printed material so that provides a more cost-effective solution.
DT printing produces sharp print quality with good scannability, meaning the labels are perfect for short term usage, including barcodes or shipping labels, which don’t require resistance to environmental conditions. Work with Industrial, Desktop and Mobile Printers.
THERMAL ECO - uncoated, basic thermal material for cost-efficient labelling that doesn’t require environmental resistance. Our ECP range includes unique label sizes for compatible shipping labels.
THERMAL TOP - Top materials have a specific top coating to act as a barrier against plasticisers, oils, humidity or smudging. Topcoat layer is protected on the printer side of the label to provide higher image stability, excellent scanning properties and good scratch resistance.
Applications:
Thermal Transfer (TT) Labels
Thermal Transfer Labels utilise a ribbon that when heated by the printhead melts onto the label to create the image. The ink is absorbed so that the image becomes part of the media. When matched with suitable media, TT technology is not only impervious to heat and moisture, but the image can’t be rubbed off, making the printed label the most durable on the market.
By selecting the right media-ribbon combination, as well as speciality adhesive, users can create archival-quality labels to withstand temperature extremes, scratches, UV exposure, chemicals, sterilisation and more.
VELLUM - Vellum Paper Labels are a smart and economical choice with very high print quality and scanning characteristics, so the image is long-lasting and durable. These uncoated labels are multi-purpose and are particularly suitable for a wide range of applications. Vellum is an excellent economical material choice and offers exceptional print results.
Applications:
Ribbons
You can choose from our selection of thermal transfer ribbons, which are designed to maximise the life of your printheads and provide consistent print quality.
All of SATO’s ribbons are halogen-free, demonstrating our commitment to green initiatives and safety.
Our ECP Ribbons portfolio includes different sizes available and ready for immediate dispatch.

Wax / Resin
Wax-resin is a versatile, multi-purpose ribbon for challenging environments. The mix of wax and resin gives the printer an ability to print on other materials such as synthetics, coated or glossy paper stocks as well as protect against chemicals, smudge and smearing.

Resin
Resin is the best ribbon for extreme environments, where high-quality images and resistance against scratch, smudge, heat, liquid or chemicals is essential. Resin ribbons are commonly used with synthetic labels, as they do not print well on paper labels.
