What Types of Labels Can I Use the TDW121 Wax Ribbon With?

The TDW121 Wax Thermal Ribbon is a versatile, resin-enhanced wax formulation designed primarily for paper-based thermal transfer labels and tags, while also working well with many popular synthetic materials. It provides excellent sensitivity, solid fill, and sharp barcodes on:

• Uncoated paper labels and tags (shipping, inventory, logistics)
• Coated and semi-gloss paper labels for product, shelf, and retail labeling
• Many synthetic labels such as polypropylene (BOPP) and some flexible films
• Colour flood-coated labels where a dark, high-contrast barcode is required
• Durable tag stocks, including Valeron® tags for tougher applications

This premium wax ribbon is an excellent everyday solution for warehouses, retail stores, healthcare facilities, manufacturing plants, and offices across Canada where consistent, high-quality barcodes and text are essential.

Need More Durability? Wax/Resin & Resin Options

Wax/Resin Option for Enhanced Durability

If your application requires higher durability than standard wax can provide—such as resistance to smudging and light abrasion on coated or some synthetic labels—consider upgrading to the Zebra 2.20" x 243 ft wax/resin ribbon . This wax/resin ribbon offers better durability than wax alone, making it well-suited for labels that are handled frequently or exposed to moderate environmental stress.

Resin Ribbon for Synthetic Labels & Harsh Environments

For synthetic labels and outdoor or harsh applications that face exposure to chemicals, moisture, heat, and rough handling, you may need the extra protection of a full resin ribbon. In these cases, we recommend the Zebra 2.20" x 243 ft Resin ribbon , which is designed for maximum durability and chemical resistance on synthetic label materials in demanding industrial environments.
