Labels & Printer Ribbons
Plain, Pre-Printed & Colourwashed Barcode Labels
Our label range covers the full spectrum of industrial and commercial applications, including:
• Plain self-adhesive labels for variable data and barcode printing
• Pre-printed labels with logos, fixed text or compliance information
• Colourwashed labels for visual identification, zoning, batch control and process management
We supply both thermal transfer labels and direct thermal labels, suitable for everything from long-life product identification to short-term logistics and shipping labels.
Most standard sizes are available from stock for next-day delivery. Where a specific size, format or print is required, Weyfringe can supply non-stock sizes, pre-printed and colourwashed labels within 7–10 working days.
Thermal Transfer & Direct Thermal Labels Explained
Thermal transfer labels are printed using a ribbon, with heat transferring ink onto the label surface. This method produces a durable, long-lasting print, ideal for manufacturing, warehousing, asset tracking and compliance labelling. Different label and ribbon combinations can be specified to suit demanding environments or specialist applications.
Direct thermal labels do not require a ribbon. Instead, the label material reacts to heat from the printhead to create the image. These labels are commonly used for short-life applications such as delivery, logistics and fresh food labelling, where exposure to heat, light or abrasion is limited.
Many modern barcode printers support both methods, allowing businesses to choose the most appropriate and cost-effective solution.
Diamond Transfer Plus Thermal Transfer Ribbons
Weyfringe’s Diamond Transfer Eco Plus thermal transfer ribbons are engineered for consistent, high-quality printing across a wide range of barcode labels. Designed to perform reliably in today’s high-speed thermal printers, these ribbons are used extensively across manufacturing, logistics and service industries where clarity, consistency and uptime are critical.
All Weyfringe stock ribbons are SOLFREE and manufactured without the use of solvents. By using SOLFREE eco-friendly ribbons, you can reduce your carbon footprint by up to 70% compared to traditional ribbon types, when the entire manufacturing process is considered. This equates to a saving of approximately 365g of CO₂ every time you use a SOLFREE ribbon from Weyfringe.
In addition to the environmental benefits, Diamond Transfer Plus ribbons feature an advanced ribbon back coating that significantly reduces friction between the ribbon and the printhead. This helps to extend printhead life, reducing wear, minimising downtime and lowering maintenance and replacement costs over time. Better for the environment and better for your operating costs.
Key Benefits
- Sharp, crisp barcode and text definition for reliable scanning
- Consistent performance at higher print speeds
- Smooth, low-friction back coating to reduce printhead wear and extend printer life
- SOLFREE, solvent-free manufacture, reducing environmental impact
- Lower total cost of ownership through reduced maintenance and downtime
