Overview
AutoLabel™ Thermal Transfer Ribbon delivers high-density, high-contrast black prints and proven durability for direct-to-bag and on-demand label printing. Available in APX-P Premium, UP and UV formulations and engineered to run with AUTOBAG® and SidePouch® bags, AutoLabel printers and Next-Bag-Out bagging systems. Printing directly on the bag removes the need for adhesive labels and improves recyclability.
