Discover the DNP advantage across industries.

Appliances & Electronics

Barcodes or serial numbers printed on Appliances & Electronics must withstand harsh production environments while remaining legible throughout a product's lifecycle. Many of these applications also require Underwriters Laboratories (UL) or the Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive (RoHS) certifications to ensure product safety. DNP offers a variety of UL and RoHS-certified thermal transfer ribbons to ensure label compliance while withstanding the unique environments of this industry.

Automotive

Every car contains hundreds of barcodes that identify its various parts. These barcodes often endure harsh conditions, such as exposure to gasoline, motor oil, extreme temperatures, and UV light. DNP thermal transfer ribbons (TTR) are designed to provide exceptional durability and reliability, ensuring that essential information remains accessible in one of the toughest industries.

Building & Industrial Supplies

Wood, stone, PVC, and glass are just a few of the unique materials found in the Building & Industrial Supplies industry. These materials face a range of environmental challenges, including UV rays and chemicals. Therefore, the information printed on these labels and tags must be both durable and versatile, guaranteeing product safety and compliance. DNP offers an exceptional range of thermal transfer ribbons tough enough to withstand these challenging applications and conditions.

Chemicals

Chemical manufacturing requires thermal transfer ribbons that can withstand tough conditions. Each print must resist abrasion and solvents, ensuring the highest consumer safety standards. DNP thermal transfer ribbons offer exceptional reliability and chemical resistance, helping your business maintain safety and compliance when printing safety symbols, handling instructions, or other essential information.

Fashion & Textile

Variable printing in the Fashion & Textile industry is essential for conveying important information to consumers. Common applications include retail garment tags on clothing. DNP thermal transfer ribbons stand out, offering unparalleled durability and print clarity, specifically designed to meet the demands of this unique industry.

Food & Beverage

Food & Beverage traceability is critical to ensure product traceability and safeguarding public health. For manufacturers in this sector, complying with traceability and labeling regulations is vital for facilitating quick recalls and conducting efficient audits. DNP thermal transfer ribbons (TTR) offer dependable solutions for printing on labels or flexible packaging, keeping pace with the speed of your packaging line. This provides peace of mind for consumers and helps manufacturers meet regulatory requirements and uphold safety standards.

Horticulture

Printing and marking variable information in the horticulture industry provides enhanced biosecurity and protection against pests. These factors are top priorities for the trade and cultivation of plants, vegetables, fruits, and other products. DNP thermal transfer ribbons (TTR) provide the durability and versatility needed for durable prints that deliver accurate and informative consumer information.

Inventory & Logistics

Dark, scannable prints are crucial for effective stock tracking and distribution. Barcodes enhance efficiency by providing key inventory information and monitoring supply chains. DNP's thermal transfer ribbons (TTR) ensure that prints remain scannable from manufacturing to distribution, meeting modern logistics demands and improving quality control.

Medical & Healthcare

Across the Medical & Healthcare industry, barcodes are vital for accurately tracking and managing confidential information. Printing labels for medical devices, patient wristbands, or specimen slides requires thermal transfer ribbons that remain scannable throughout their lifecycle, even when exposed to solvents like isopropyl alcohol. DNP provides durable thermal transfer ribbon (TTR) solutions that print clearly on various substrates while withstanding these solvents.

Personal Care

The Personal Care industry has strict regulations on the labeling and packaging of products, requiring the printing of product tracking details, ingredients, date codes, and other fundamental information. Often exposed to soap and oil, these frequently handled products require durable thermal transfer printing solutions. DNP thermal transfer ribbons offer exceptional durability and scannability with every print, ensuring that your personal care products consistently meet industry compliance standards.

Pharmaceuticals & Supplements

Patient safety relies heavily on accurate labeling of pharmaceuticals and supplements. While labeling requirements may differ between over-the-counter drugs and prescriptions, traceability is critical for all products. At DNP, we provide thermal transfer solutions that expertly adapt to diverse labeling materials in this industry. Our technology ensures scannable barcodes and exceptionally durable prints that not only meet but surpass industry standards.
