RIBBON TYPES & APPLICATIONS FOR THE POSTAL INDUSTRY

Informing the user and guaranteeing product traceability

Postal labels contain all the information that accompanies the product during the various logistics and retail stages. A poorly-printed or damaged barcode, price or description may complicate the process of product distribution and in some cases even generate penalties imposed by retailers.

Furthermore, the print may form an integral part of the product and contribute to the quality of its brand image.

Information printed using Thermal Transfer offers a very high quality visual finish and can be easily read with the naked eye and barcode scanners.

The product identification and traceability label

The shipping label is the central element ensuring product identification and traceability. At all times it must be visible to the naked eye and barcode reader. To guarantee the reading quality of such information it is important to select the right print technology, label and ink.

Shipping label printing

Transport conditions and numerous stages of handling generate abrasion and impact between packages which may degrade the printed message or leave marks on the label. For international logistics operations, and depending on the mode of transport, labels may be temporarily exposed to the weather such as UV light or humidity.

Without a specially designed print solution, logistics information and traceability data may be erased and cause delivery delays and even product losses.

inkanto ribbons for shipping label printing

Thermal Transfer printing of shipping labels offers effective solutions for all such constraints.

inkanto Wax inks (AWR® inks) in combination with entry-level paper offer a competitive solution that is suitable for short-duration shipments with little exposure to constraints causing deterioration.

For more demanding logistics environments or for international shipment, the label and ink are subjected to greater constraints. In such cases, more resistant labels made of coated paper should be used in combination with a high performance Wax ribbon (AWX® ribbon) or Wax-Resin ribbon (APR® or APX®).

Thermal Transfer technology is fully compatible with labels containing an RFID tag, which are being introduced to improve traceability efficiency of shipping labels.

inkanto ribbons for Shipping & Retail product labelling

inkanto Wax ribbons (AWR®/AWX® range) offer an excellent quality/price ratio. The ink is especially well suited for rough paper labels, while offering an optimum visual quality for the printing of barcodes and alphanumeric characters.

inkanto Wax-Resin ribbons (APR®/APX® range) stand out through the sharpness of their print, ideal for horizontal, vertical and 2D barcodes, product diagrams, pricing, large and small text, brand logos, serial numbers, etc. These ribbons are compatible with rough papers, coated papers and synthetic label materials.
