The Difference Between Label Types

The type of ribbon used will depend on the label material and application:

  • WAX is the most cost-effective but can rub-off if used on gloss labels or when exposed to heat or friction.
  • WAX-RESIN is the most used and will adhere to a wide range of label materials.
  • RESIN is extremely durable and used for specialist applications.
  • TEXTILE RESIN is specifically formulated for clothing and fabric printing.
