Low Haze High Clarity BOPET TTR Base Film for Barcode Thermal Transfer Ribbon

Product Description / Production Introduction

This low haze, high clarity BOPET TTR base film is a biaxially oriented polyester film engineered for thermal transfer ribbons used in barcode and high resolution label printing. Its low haze and high transparency give a clean, bright base that keeps printed barcode edges, small fonts and fine graphics sharp and highly readable, supporting high density and high speed barcode printing. The ultra thin 4 and 4.5 micron gauge reduces ribbon consumption and increases the usable length per roll, while high tensile strength and good mechanical properties prevent edge tear and web breaks on fast printers. Uniform thickness and an ultra smooth, clean surface ensure an even release and ink layer, so print density and clarity stay consistent from the first metre to the last and from roll to roll. Low shrinkage and good dimensional stability keep the ribbon flat inside the heated print head, maintaining registration and avoiding distortion, while the film is supplied free from surface treatment, ready for silicone backcoat and ink coating. Available in widths from 400 to 2100 mm with 3 inch or 6 inch paper cores and roll lengths up to 40000 m, it suits wax, wax-resin and resin thermal transfer ribbons.

Parameter Table

Key Features

Low Haze for Sharp, High Clarity Printing

Low haze and high transparency give a clean, bright base film that keeps barcode edges, fine fonts and graphics sharp and highly legible. This supports high density barcodes and high resolution images that scan reliably on the first pass.

High Resolution Print Support

The film is designed for high resolution thermal transfer printing, faithfully reproducing small text, thin lines, logos, QR codes and dense barcode patterns where printing precision directly affects readability.

Ultra-Thin 4 / 4.5 Micron Gauge

The ultra thin gauge lowers material consumption and increases usable ribbon length per roll, reducing cost per printed label while keeping the strength needed for high speed printing.

Uniform Thickness for Consistent Print Density

Precise thickness control keeps coating weight, release force and print density uniform across the entire web and from roll to roll, so barcode contrast and readability stay consistent throughout the roll.

Ultra-Smooth, Clean Surface

A smooth, low defect surface avoids pinholes, streaks and uncoated spots that would otherwise create missing or patchy print and reduce barcode grade.

Low Shrinkage and Dimensional Stability

Low heat shrinkage keeps the ribbon flat and prevents stretching or curling in the hot print head, maintaining registration for crisp, distortion-free printing.

High Tensile Strength

Strong and tough despite the thin gauge, the film resists edge tear and web breaks at high print speeds, keeping production running with less downtime.

Application Scenarios

High Density Barcode Printing - Supplied to ribbon makers and label printers that need high density, high resolution barcodes with sharp edges and high contrast, so scanners read them reliably at the first attempt.

High Resolution Label Printing - Ideal for labels carrying fine text, small fonts, logos, micro-text and detailed graphics, where print clarity and edge definition are critical to brand appearance and legibility.

Retail, Logistics and Inventory Labelling - Well suited to retail shelf labels, logistics shipping labels and warehouse inventory tags that must stay legible and scannable in demanding day-to-day use.

Variable Data, Serial Numbers and QR Codes - Supports variable data printing of serial numbers, batch codes, dates and QR codes, where consistent print density and sharp edges are needed for machine reading.

Food and Beverage Labelling - Used for food and beverage labels and packaging coding where clear, durable and food contact compliant printing is required.

Wax, Wax-Resin and Resin Ribbon Systems - Compatible with wax, wax-resin and resin ribbon formulations, giving ribbon makers a low haze, high clarity base film for a wide range of thermal transfer printing demands.
