Speciality Ribbons

Near Edge Thermal Transfer Ribbons

DNP’s near edge thermal ribbons are specifically designed for next-generation thermal transfer printing. They offer superior performance for creating crisp, clean, sharp-looking barcodes for a wider variety of substrate materials. Flexible packaging is any non-rigid packaging structure used to package and protect products that can be readily changed in shape. The packaging may be made up of paper, plastic film, foil, or any combination of these and includes pouches, bags, labels/wraps, lidding, shrink sleeves, and stretch film. The industry continues to advance at an unprecedented rate replacing more traditional packaging, such as glass jars and metal cans, more and more each year as its benefits are acknowledged. These benefits include extended shelf life, improved cost economics, reduced pack weights, and lower transport costs.
