Direct thermal labels
Direct printing without a ribbon — the cheapest option, for a short cycle.
ECO and TOP (with protective topcoat)
In-house production. No middlemen. Since 2006.
Manufacturer of self-adhesive labels and thermal-transfer ribbons
We produce direct thermal, thermal-transfer, film and specialty labels, plus TTR ribbons. We match the material, adhesive and ribbon to your label's working conditions — from courier parcels, through frost and chemicals, to tyre vulcanisation — with care for compliance with industry standards.

Who we produce for
We deliver the most value to companies with recurring, series demand for ready-to-print label stock on the roll — blank labels you print yourself. Below you can check whether we're a good fit.
We're the best fit for companies that:
- order labels regularly, in repeat deliveries
- need larger, series volumes of stock — not single rolls
- run many SKUs with fixed, established shapes and sizes
- plan their labelling ahead and value a steady stock supplier
- print in-house, on their own thermal or thermal-transfer printer
- work in logistics, chemicals, food, pharma or tyre production — wherever a label has to perform in demanding conditions
01Label range
Labels for every application
A full wardrobe of solutions — from low-cost direct thermal to durable films and specialty labels. For every substrate we match the right ribbon and adhesive.
Thermal-transfer labels
Durable ribbon print — resistant to abrasion, moisture and UV.
Paper and synthetic films
Film / synthetic labels
PP, PE, PET — water- and chemical-resistant, wide temperature range.
Cosmetics, chemicals, appliances, outdoor
Specialty labels
Holographic, tamper-evident VOID, brittle, RFID/NFC.
Brand protection and tracking
Eco-friendly labels
Recycled materials (rPET) and waste-reducing solutions.
For PPWR goals / recyclability
02Thermal-transfer ribbons (TTR)
Wax · wax-resin · resin
Three ribbon classes on a price ↔ durability axis. The ink layer decides how resistant the print is — and the substrate determines the ribbon.
Wax ribbon WAX
The cheapest, highest print speed — for paper in dry conditions.
Wax-resin ribbon WAX-RESIN
Versatile — coated paper and matte films, better resistance.
Resin ribbon RESIN
Highest chemical and thermal resistance — for PP/PE/PET films.

07Frequently asked questions
FAQ — selection, standards, delivery
What's the difference between a direct thermal and a thermal-transfer label?
A direct thermal label is made without a ribbon — the print fades over time (usually 6–12 months). A thermal-transfer label needs an ink ribbon, and the print is durable and resistant to UV, moisture and chemicals. Direct thermal is chosen for a short cycle (courier, scales), thermal-transfer for multi-year marking.
Which thermal-transfer ribbon should I choose: wax, wax-resin or resin?
Wax — for paper in dry conditions (the cheapest). Wax-resin — versatile, for coated paper and matte films. Resin — the most durable, for PP/PE/PET films and chemical, GHS and rating-plate labels. The rule: the substrate determines the ribbon.
Which label for frozen goods and cold storage?
We use a film substrate or TOP thermal paper with a freezer-grade adhesive that sticks even to frosted surfaces. Application is possible down to about −20 °C, and the label keeps its adhesion and legibility across a range from −40 °C to +70 °C.
Which labels meet the requirements for chemicals (GHS/CLP) and sea export?
We make chemical labels in line with CLP/GHS requirements — the print and pictograms must stay legible and durable. For the highest resistance we use film + a resin ribbon. For sea transport of hazardous substances, compliance with BS 5609 is required.
What's the minimum order quantity and lead time?
We don't impose a fixed threshold — we price every project individually and state the quantity and lead time in the quote. Worth knowing: preparing dedicated tooling and dies for a label's shape and size is a one-off cost, roughly from a few hundred to a few thousand złoty, the same regardless of run size — so for a small, one-off batch it usually works out uneconomical in the quote. For a small, one-off need, on-demand digital printing from a specialised, different supplier is usually cheaper. The greatest benefit comes from recurring, series orders — then the setup cost spreads across the whole volume and the price drops to pennies per label. Follow-up repeat deliveries are also noticeably faster than the first run.
Do you ship for export / to EU countries?
Yes — we serve customers in Poland and handle export deliveries to EU markets. For international shipments we match labels compliant with the relevant standards (e.g. BS 5609 for hazardous materials).
