A TTO is a digital printing device that transfers ink from a heated ribbon onto flexible packaging to print variable information such as dates, lot codes, barcodes, and graphics.
Les imprimantes à transfert thermique (TTO) permettent une impression nette et durable de codes-barres, de textes et d'images directement sur des films d'emballage souples. Idéales pour le codage haute résolution sur étiquettes et emballages, ces imprimantes offrent une qualité d'impression rapide, nette et fiable, avec une maintenance minimale pour une production continue.

Thermal Transfer Overprinters (TTO) – High-Resolution Industrial Coding & Marking Solutions
Upgrade your packaging line with high-performance Thermal Transfer Overprinters (TTO) engineered for crisp, durable, and high-speed variable data printing. Whether you print barcodes, expiry dates, ingredients, nutrition labels, batch codes, or serialized data, our industrial thermal transfer overprinters deliver the accuracy and uptime your operations depend on.
At Redemac, we offer a curated range of thermal transfer products designed for continuous production, low maintenance, and exceptional print quality across flexible packaging materials.
Why Choose Thermal Transfer Overprinting (TTO)?
Unlike traditional ink-based printers, TTO technology uses a high-precision digital printhead that melts ink from a ribbon directly onto flexible packaging. This creates long-lasting, high-contrast codes suitable for high-speed food, pharma, and industrial manufacturing lines.
Key advantages of TTO printing:
- Ultra-clear, pixel-sharp prints (text, graphics, barcodes, QR codes).
- Consistent quality at high line speeds for horizontally or vertically moving film.
- Low running cost due to efficient ribbon usage.
- Clean, ribbon-based technology with no fluids, solvents, or mess.
- Ideal for flexible substrates: flow wraps, pouches, films, and labels.
- Highly reliable for 24/7 operations with minimal downtime.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Thermal Transfer Overprinter (TTO)?
How is TTO different from ink-based or CIJ printers?
CIJ printers use liquid ink and work well on rigid surfaces.
TTO printers use heat-transferred ribbons and are ideal for flexible packaging films where clean, high-resolution prints are required.
What materials can TTO print on?
Flexible films, pouches, foil, laminated materials, labels, and flow-wrap packaging.
Is thermal transfer printing durable?
Yes, TTO prints are smudge-resistant, long-lasting, and highly legible even after transportation, freezing, or handling.
What is the lifespan of a TTO ribbon?
Depends on print coverage, ribbon width, and printing mode; advanced systems optimize ribbon usage to reduce costs.
