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
- Excellent print quality (up to 300 dpi)
- Smudge resistance and durable prints
- High speed printing for continuous production lines
- Low maintenance compared to CIJ and hot stamp
- Reduce consumable waste
When Use TTO?
- Use flexible packaging such as BOPP,PET,PP,Foil
- Run high speed production lines
- Need frequent data change
- 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
