Premium Wax resin ribbons are usually half wax and half resin. They are more expensive than wax ribbons, but in terms of substrate, they are more durable and versatile. They can print on almost any label or packaging film.
Premium Wax-resin is more durable than wax in terms of scratch and smears resistance, as well as resistant to medium to harsh chemicals and high temperatures.
This process is the same as the wax ribbon process, with the exception that, instead of using almost the entire wax, this method splits the wax and resin ink more evenly.
Premum Wax-resin ribbons are used in applications where additional abrasion, chemical, or environmental resistance is required. Laboratory labeling, external product / UL labeling, and cold-chain / freezer applications are all examples where durability must be added if the barcode does not deteriorate.
