The Primary Near Edge Type We Offer for Industrial Use

The Primary Near Edge Type We Offer for Industrial Use

Currently, our core near edge type is the TTO Wax/Resin Near-Edge SNM272, designed specifically for thermal transfer overprinting (TTO) in industrial settings. This near edge type balances wax and resin properties, delivering excellent adhesion to various substrates (films, foils, papers) and strong resistance to smudging. It supports print speeds suitable for high-volume production lines and works seamlessly with most standard near-edge printers. While we focus on this high-demand near edge type, we can also explore custom near edge variants based on specific client needs, such as adjusted durability or substrate compatibility.

Advantages of the product

Near-Edge Ribbons: Narrow Print Head Compatibility for Waste Reduction

Near-edge ribbons (like SNM272) are compatible with narrow print heads used in near-edge printing systems, a key advantage for reducing ink waste. Narrow print heads target specific print areas, and the ribbon’s design ensures ink is only transferred to the intended region—no excess ink is used on non-print areas. This efficiency reduces ribbon consumption, lowering operational costs and minimizing environmental waste. For businesses that print small labels or narrow strips of information (e.g., expiration dates on small packaging), this waste reduction translates to significant long-term savings.

Near-Edge Ribbons: Smooth Travel for Minimized Downtime

Near-edge ribbons are engineered for smooth travel through near-edge printer mechanisms, reducing friction and wear on both the ribbon and the printer. Smooth travel minimizes the risk of ribbon jams, which can cause costly downtime in production lines. It also extends the lifespan of printer components (like print heads and rollers), reducing maintenance costs and the need for frequent part replacements. For businesses with continuous printing operations (e.g., 24/7 manufacturing lines), this smooth performance ensures uninterrupted workflow and maximum productivity.

Near edge types in thermal transfer ribbons, exemplified by Hangzhou Sinoco Industry Co., Ltd.’s TTO Wax/Resin Near-Edge SNM272, are specialized for precision, high-efficiency printing. Unlike traditional ribbons with wider contact areas, they feature a narrow edge mechanism, ideal for space-constrained or ultra-fine printing tasks, especially in thermal transfer overprinting (TTO) systems. Key applications include food and beverage packaging, where they print expiration dates, batch codes, and product info on flexible materials like plastic films or foil pouches—their narrow edge minimizes waste and ensures accurate ink transfer even on curved surfaces. In pharmaceuticals, they meet strict labeling standards by producing high-contrast, smudge-resistant text/barcodes on small labels, critical for supply chain tracking. These types align with varied printing speeds, with models like SNM272 optimized for TTO systems to maintain consistency in high-volume production. Hangzhou Sinoco tailors near edge types to industry needs, offering customizations for compatibility with specific label materials or production line speeds, making them reliable for boosting printing efficiency and accuracy across sectors.

Common problem

Are Hangzhou Sinoco's near-edge ribbons compatible with TTO printers?

Yes. Its near-edge ribbons, like SNM272, are TTO Wax/Resin Near-Edge Ribbons specifically made to be compatible with TTO printers, ensuring efficient near-edge printing.
They have good adaptability to near-edge printing technology, ensure stable printing performance, and are durable. They can meet the high requirements of TTO printing for near-edge applications.
