Thermal Transfer Overprinting (TTO) is a technique where heat is used to transfer ink from a Thermal Transfer Ribbon onto a flexible substrate, such as food, beverage, and medication packaging. This method is ideal for printing on film packaging, plastics, labels, gloss card, and other flexible materials. It ensures consistent, error-free printing of best-before dates, batch codes, barcodes, ingredients, logos, and other product information.
TTO is specifically designed for applications requiring precise and variable information, like barcodes and serial numbers. Compared to other printing methods, thermal printers do not require frequent refills, making them more cost-effective. Additionally, they operate faster, making them suitable for time-sensitive printing tasks. Their wireless and compact design makes them perfect for on-the-go printing jobs.
Every packaging line has unique speed, film type, and print area requirements. Get a custom recommendation and accurate pricing based on your machine and production needs.
