Thermal Transfer Printers are an ideal solution for flexible film packaging applications, common in many food industries. These printers produce a very high-resolution code onto the package that is easy to read and also helps ensure no degradation of the aesthetic quality of the packaging film artwork and design. This digital technology is an advancement over traditional analogue coding technologies, like hot stamp and roller coders.

1.  Printers are easily programmable, enabling the operator to quickly change from one message to another. This reduces the downtime and effort required to change dies and rollers associated with older hot stamping and roller coder equipment. 
2.  Advanced Thermal Transfer Printers use bi-directional ribbon drives to precisely control ribbon tension. This eliminates failure-prone mechanical solutions and precisely controls ribbon position.
3.  Thermal transfer printing is a digital solution, which means it contains both a real-time clock and I/O communications capabilities.
4.  In addition to printing static codes, advanced Thermal Transfer Printers can print unique data on each package. Depending on the production needs, they can print enhanced traceability information like packaging time stamps or, as an example, more advanced codes including unique serial numbers and associated bar codes.

TTO is an economical solution for the packaging industry and AIS offer various types of printers including Intermittent Thermal Transfer Printers, Continuous Thermal Transfer Printers, and High-resolution thermal transfer print technology.
