Thermal transfer overprinter for premium flexible film coding
T30 and T50 thermal transfer overprinters for high-quality dates, logos, barcodes, QR codes, nutrition tables and traceability data.
High-resolution TTO coding for packaging films
Thermal transfer overprinters are the premium print-quality option in this range. They use a robust glass-encapsulated printhead and software control to create consistent variable data prints.
- Intermittent and continuous operation in one platform.
- Excellent quality print for product presentation and traceability.
- Print real-time data, barcodes, QR codes, logos, pictures, dates and nutrition tables.
- Ribbon-saving functions and optimised ribbon usage with 0.1mm gap between prints.
- Dockable 7-inch LCD handheld touch pad and designer program included.
TTO systems are often selected for flexible packaging film and high-quality variable data.
