After we determine the nature of your business and the type of printer required, our expert barcode system integrators can recommend a proper ribbon match for the job at hand.
Near-Edge Ribbons
Near edge ribbons are used in near edge printers, which produce printed materials by harnessing the power of heat and pressure to transfer an image from a coated ribbon to the label. The “near edge” method positions the line of heat elements close to the corner or edge of the printhead, at an angle to the label path. This method allows for printing on a wider variety of materials at faster speeds, and produces a higher-quality print with smaller fonts.
Applications requiring flexible packaging such as patient identification, produce, frozen goods, UDI compliance, and small-parts packaging can all benefit from the durability and security of near edge. Near edge labels can be made from weather-resistant substrates in many different shapes, so they can wrap around a water bottle or even a car.
Recent advances in technology make flexible packaging one of the most economical and customizable ways to package, preserve and distribute food, sterile liquids, small consumables, pharmaceuticals and other products requiring extended shelf lives. It can be designed with barrier properties tailored to fit the products being packaged and their end-uses, whereas other barrier packaging formats are generally less forgiving.
OEM ribbons are often sold with high mark-ups. Paragon can provide you with the same ribbon at a lower cost.
