Barcode Ribbon or Ribbon Roll for Barcodes: Types and Uses

The barcode ribbon, also known as ribbon roll or barcode ink, is divided into several types based on the required use case. Being one of the companies supplying barcode ribbons in Qatar (Doha, Al Wakrah, Al Khor, Al Rayyan, Umm Salal, Al Dhakhira, Al Shahaniya, Al Zubarah, Mesaieed, Ras Laffan), Barcode Egypt (Barcode Egypt) presents an overview of the different types of barcode ribbons:

Types of Barcode Ribbons:

1. Wax Ribbon
   Wax ribbon is used for printing barcode stickers with a paper-like texture that does not require strong ink durability.

2. Resin Ribbon
   Resin ribbon is ideal for printing barcode stickers with a smooth or plastic texture. Plastic barcode stickers require highly durable ink or ribbon, making resin the preferred choice.

3. Wax-Resin Ribbon (Premium Ribbon)
   Wax-resin ribbon is a hybrid type used for printing barcode stickers with moderate porosity. It offers durability levels between wax and resin.

4. Wash Care Ribbon
   Wash care ribbon is used for printing acetate labels and care instructions on garments. This ribbon type is designed for high durability and can withstand frequent washing.

5. Near Edge Ribbon
   Near edge ribbon is used for printing smooth, plastic-like surfaces, such as snack bags and food packaging. These products often remain on shelves for long periods and require highly durable ink.

6. Hot Foil Ribbon
   Hot foil ribbon, or production/expiration date ink roll, is used for printing production dates, expiration dates, and batch numbers. This type is commonly applied on cartons, stickers, and bags but provides less durability compared to near edge ribbons.
