Ideal for Color Coding

WAX Color ribbons are designed for applications where color itself is information: sorting by category (red = urgent, blue = standard, green = approved), warehouse labeling, shift-based coding, and color-coded warnings on labels. A higher melting point (75°C) than standard black WAX ribbons (65°C) gives better adhesion on coated materials and some synthetic films. They can also be used as WAX-RESIN on glossy surfaces.

WAX Color Ribbon Limitations Heat resistance and solvent resistance are 2/5, and durability is 2/5. WAX Color ribbons are not suitable for high-temperature applications, contact with solvents, or labels that must last for years in outdoor conditions. For durable colored labels in demanding conditions, we recommend RESIN Color ribbons (AGT series) with significantly better resistance.
