Thermal Transfer Ribbons for Electronics & Automotive Labels
Electronics and automotive labels face extreme conditions — heat, chemicals, solvents, abrasion, and multi-year outdoor exposure. Standard wax ribbons fail instantly. Codewell Image's resin ribbons are engineered for these demanding applications.
Labelling challenges in electronics & automotive
Understanding these challenges is the first step to choosing the right ribbon.
Heat resistance up to 200°C+ for engine bay and PCB labels
Chemical and solvent resistance for automotive fluids and cleaning agents
Abrasion resistance for parts handled in manufacturing and assembly
Labels must remain scannable for 5–10+ years (asset tracking)
Small-text legibility for component marking and rating plates
Applications
- PCB and circuit board marking
- Automotive part identification labels
- Wire and cable marking
- Engine bay and under-hood labels
- Rating plates and serial number tags
- Outdoor asset tracking labels
- Electronic component barcodes
Compatible label materials
Polyester (PET)Polyimide (Kapton)Polypropylene (PP)Metal-effect labels
