Labels and ribbons

Supplies for the printers you already run

For thermal transfer printing, the label and ribbon are chosen as a pair, and both have to fit the printer you run. We match the label material, roll size and ribbon grade to that printer and to the surface the label goes on. Allmark has installed over 75,000 devices for more than 2,000 customers.

Allmark supplies barcode labels and thermal transfer ribbons for desktop, industrial and mobile label printers. Tell us your printer model, label size and monthly use, and we will quote the right roll. Not sure whether you need a ribbon? Read our direct thermal vs thermal transfer guide.

Consider: Chromo labels, Barcode labels, Barcode ribbons

A ribbon brand your printer maker or customer names

Ordering supplies

Four details that get you the right roll first time

Your printer model

The printer decides the ribbon length, core and width, and the largest label roll it takes. The ribbon and label pages list these for the label printers in our catalogue, and our Zebra, TSC, Ricoh and inkanto ribbon pages list each maker's grades.

Label size and roll

Label width and height, the gap between labels, the core size of the roll and labels per roll. A photo or sample of the label you use today helps.

Where the label goes

What the label sticks to (carton, bottle, metal, cloth, a curved or cold surface) and what it has to survive (rubbing, chemicals, heat, sunlight, water) decide the label material and the ribbon.

Questions buyers ask

Labels and ribbons FAQ

What is the label and ribbon price in India?

It depends on the material, the size, the ribbon grade and how many you use a month. Ask our team for today's competitive price: share your requirement and budget, and we will help you choose the right material and size and send a written quotation with current pricing and delivery time.

How do I choose labels that fit my printer?

Three things have to match the printer: the label width within its width range, the roll's outside diameter within the largest roll it holds, and a core size it takes. Our label widths and roll sizes table gives these figures for the printers on our site; for any other printer, send us the model.

Which ribbon does my printer take?

The printer sets the ribbon's width range, length and core, and whether it takes ribbon with the ink on the outside or the inside; the label material sets the grade (wax, wax/resin or resin). See the ribbon sizes by printer, or send us the printer model and the label.

Direct thermal or thermal transfer: do I need a ribbon?

Only for thermal transfer. Direct thermal labels darken under the printhead's heat, so they print without a ribbon and suit labels that are read within months and stay indoors, such as courier and shipping labels. Labels that must last, go outdoors or face heat, chemicals or rubbing are printed thermal transfer with a ribbon. Our direct thermal vs thermal transfer guide compares the two.

Can I get label or ribbon samples?

Ask us for label or ribbon samples for your printer; we tell you what we can send.

Can you supply a printhead for my printer?

Yes, for the Zebra, TSC, Honeywell, Godex and TVS Electronics printers we sell and service. Send the printer model and its resolution, or the maker's part number; we confirm the printhead and can fit it for you. See thermal printheads.

What if labels stop printing or scanning properly?

If a barcode stops scanning or printing, call or WhatsApp us: we check the printer, label, ribbon and scanner settings with you remotely, and visit or take the unit in when that does not fix it.

Do you deliver labels and ribbons outside Chennai?

Yes. We deliver across India.

Send your printer model, we will match the supplies
