Overview

What it does.

Pouches, sachets, and flow-wrap need dates, batches, and barcodes on film that ink can struggle to key into. Thermal transfer gives a sharp, high-resolution print without solvent.

The ribbon has to match the laminate. The wrong grade looks fine on day one and fails a rub test later. We match ribbon to your film, then specify the Linx TTO that fits the web width and the machine's motion.

Where it fits

  • Pouches and sachets
  • Flow-wrap and pillow packs
