If you are looking for high-quality thermal foils and thermal ribbons, Sessions UK is your ultimate destination. We specialise in providing a wide range of thermal ribbons that cater to all your printing needs, ensuring excellent print quality, durability, and efficiency, making them the perfect choice for various applications.
Thermal foils and ribbons are used in thermal transfer printing, a process where ink is transferred from a ribbon to a substrate using heat. These thermal foils often utilise materials with high thermal conductivity for better heat transfer. Some thermal foils are made using natural graphite to enhance their thermal management capabilities. This method is ideal for creating durable, high-quality prints that can withstand harsh environments. They are designed to work seamlessly with a variety of label materials and printers, ensuring optimal performance and longevity.
Thermal foils and ribbons are essential in various industries:
When selecting a thermal foil, consider the following factors:
At Sessions UK, we understand the importance of high-quality thermal foils and ribbons. Our products are designed to meet the diverse needs of various industries. Whether you need wax, wax-resin, or resin, we have the right solution for you.
Wax thermal ribbons are an economical choice for printing on paper labels. They provide good print quality on various surfaces and are suitable for applications where the labels do not require high durability. These ribbons are ideal for general-purpose labelling, including retail tags and shipping labels.
Wax-resin thermal ribbons offer a balance between durability and cost. They are suitable for printing on both paper and synthetic labels, providing enhanced resistance to smudging and scratching on various surfaces. Wax-resin ribbons are perfect for applications that require a higher level of durability, such as outdoor labelling and product identification.
Resin thermal ribbons are designed for the most demanding applications. Resin thermal ribbons can be used in conjunction with graphite foils for superior thermal management in demanding applications. They provide excellent print quality and durability, making them ideal for printing on synthetic labels and applications that require resistance to extreme conditions. Resin ribbons are commonly used in industries where labels are exposed to chemicals, heat, and abrasion.
In the retail industry, thermal foils are used for printing price tags, barcodes, and product labels. They ensure clear and durable prints that can withstand handling and exposure to different conditions. Retailers benefit from using thermal foils as they reduce the need for frequent label replacements, saving both time and money.
In healthcare, thermal foils are used for printing patient identification bracelets, prescription labels, and laboratory samples. The durability and clarity of the prints are crucial for safety and accuracy. Thermal foils ensure that important information remains legible throughout the patient’s stay, reducing the risk of errors in patient care.
