Products: Supplies & Consumables

SK&T offers a wide range of labels, ribbon, tags and specialty media supplies. From specially engineered materials to common off-the-shelf label stock, our comprehensive range of products is designed to meet a variety of labeling needs.

SK&T provides both thermal transfer and direct thermal labels.

Thermal transfer labels are offered in a variety of paper and synthetic formats and can be used in a range of applications. Synthetic labels are a more durable choice offering increased resistance to abrasion, heat, moisture and chemicals, while paper labels offer a less expensive, yet high-quality alternative. Thermal transfer technology requires a ribbon and matching tag stock material.

Direct thermal labels are a less expensive way of printing paper labels, but are better suited for indoor applications where temperatures remain moderate. Direct thermal technology does not require a ribbon but uses temperature sensitive chemically coated tag material.

An Exclusive new label offering from our partners at Zebra!

With IQ Color labels exclusively from Zebra, use any Zebra thermal printer to print color on demand. Employing color to provide a visual cue or to highlight important information helps your organization streamline operations and reduce errors and costs. And on-demand color through Zebra’s patented IQ Color direct thermal ink technology adds flexibility and efficiency to these identification processes.

During label manufacturing, Zebra applies up to four invisible ink colors, placed according to your needs and label format. Your Zebra printer heat-activates the ink to make select colors visible—as shapes, text, graphics/logos or reverse images. IQ Color delivers greater flexibility and productivity than other color-cue methods you may be using, including preprinted color thermal media, laser or ink jet printing, separate color labels, or color markers.

Ribbons

Wax ribbons are ideal for general purpose printing on uncoated and coated paper tags and labels (and some film labels.) For higher durability, stronger resistance to chemicals, wear and severe environmental conditions, a resin or wax/resin ribbon is the recommended choice.

For easy, low-cost maintenance, Clean Start printhead cleaner is also available.
