Frequently asked questions
What are Wax-Resin Thermal Transfer Ribbons used for?
Wax-Resin ribbons are used for printing barcodes, QR codes, text, logos, batch numbers, product labels, shipping labels, warehouse labels, retail tags, and packaging labels where better durability than standard wax ribbons is needed.
What is the difference between Wax and Wax-Resin ribbons?
Wax ribbons are more cost-effective and suitable for standard paper labels in everyday applications. Wax-Resin ribbons provide better resistance to rubbing, smudging, and scratching, making them suitable for coated paper labels and selected synthetic materials.
Are Wax-Resin ribbons suitable for synthetic labels (PP, PE, PET)?
Yes, for selected synthetic labels. Wax-Resin ribbons can work with top-coated PP, PE, and some coated synthetic materials depending on the label surface, printer settings, and application. For fully synthetic films in harsh environments, Full Resin is recommended.
When should I choose Full Resin instead of Wax-Resin?
Full Resin is recommended when labels need strong resistance to harsh chemicals, high heat, outdoor UV exposure, or extreme abrasion. Wax-Resin is a balanced option when you need better durability than Wax but Full Resin performance is not required.
How do I choose the correct ribbon size and type?
The correct choice depends on your printer model, ribbon width, roll length, core size, winding direction, label material, printing content, and required durability. Our team can help check and recommend a suitable option based on your setup.

Both are supported. Navi Label Solutions handles small retail orders as well as high-volume wholesale and B2B procurement contracts. Contact us to discuss your requirements.
