TTO: Built for Speed and Quality for Flexible Packaging

Thermal Transfer Overprinting (TTO) is the advanced printing technology designed for high-speed variable data and high-resolution printing on flexible packaging. It uses a heated printhead to transfer ink from a ribbon onto packaging film, delivering sharp, durable and high-resolution codes. 

Why Use TTO?

TTO is the preferred choice for manufacturers who require high quality codes at high speed with minimal downtime

1. Excellent print quality (up to 300 dpi)
2. Smudge resistance and durable prints
3. High speed printing for continuous production lines
   
4. Low maintenance compared to CIJ and hot stamp
   
5. Reduce consumable waste

When Use TTO?

1. Use flexible packaging such as BOPP,PET,PP,Foil
2. Run high speed production lines
3. Need frequent data change
4. Require high quality durable codes

How to select the right TTO?  

There are 3 types of TTO, depending on the flexible packaging material, durability needs and print quality

Wax 
Best for: General packaging with low scratch /abrasion exposure
Features: Lower cost
Wax resin
Best for: General purpose choice
Features: Better durability than wax with good resistance to smudging & light abrasion 
Recommended model: B130EM
Resin
Best for: Tough environments and premium materials
Features: Highest durability (chemical, heat and abrasion resistance) with the sharpness which is great for industrial or demanding conditions
Recommended model: B130ET, B130ER
