Zebra's thermal transfer tags offer excellent print quality and are formulated to withstand harsh environments. Thermal transfer tags are available in either paper or synthetic formats. Paper is an inexpensive solution that can be used in a multitude of general-purpose applications, while synthetic offers durable, long lasting results with resistance to abrasion, moisture, tearing, and chemicals. Thermal transfer technology utilizes a ribbon and matching tag stock material to transfer an image onto the tag material. For the best solution with long life requirements or harsh environments, use with a Zebra ribbon.
