What is Thermal Transfer Overprinting (TTO)?

Thermal transfer overprinting, or TTO, is a digital technology used to print information, data, dates and codes onto thin, flexible packaging materials such as film, pouches, and labels.

On a TTO printer, a ribbon is positioned between a print head and the material to be printed. The print head activates, the ribbon heated, and ink released. The ink sticks to the material, cools, and within microseconds, creates a permanent, high-resolution image of batch codes, date codes, fully compliant barcodes, or other data.
