Raflatac introduces a comprehensive technical booklet on thermal transfer printing

The North American Label Study released last year by the Tag and Label Manufacturers Institute (TLMI), points to several critical market drivers in relation to the growth behind thermal transfer applications in the coming three to five years:

Convenience shopping trends via the internet will continue to drive variable information label printing as the need for shipping and tracking label usage increases.
As corporations in all manufacturing and service sectors continue to implement inventory control and supply chain management systems, the utilization of logistics tracking and tracing labels will exponentially increase.
Raflatac, Inc.'s new brochure, Thermal Transfer in Action, identifies each element in the thermal transfer printing process including labelstock grade selection, labelstock and ribbon compatibility, the role of the adhesive, and those technical parameters in relation to color thermal transfer printing.

An in-depth discussion is offered for each of Raflatac's premium thermal transfer grades, in addition to addressing issues such as storage recommendations for thermal transfer labelstock and printing process breakdown information.

Thermal Transfer in Action marks an industry first in making available to the industry a thermal transfer printing reference tool. For a free copy of this useful resource, contact Raflatac at 1-800-992-3882 or usasales@raflatac.com.
