What is the difference between TTO carbon belt and PE packaging

There are significant differences between TTO carbon belt and PE packaging in several aspects, the following is a detailed comparison:

Definition and use

TTO carbon belt:

Definition: TTO carbon tape, full name "Thermal Transfer carbon tape" (Thermal Transfer Overprint), is a carbon tape designed for thermal transfer printing technology.

Usage: Mainly used in various materials, especially flexible packaging materials (such as film, plastic bag, composite film, etc.) for date, batch number, bar code, two-dimensional code and other information printing. It is widely used in food packaging, pharmaceutical packaging, logistics labels, retail commodity labels, manufacturing product identification and other fields.

PE packaging:

Definition: PE packaging, that is, packaging bags made of Polyethylene (PE) materials. PE is a non-toxic, tasteless, moisture-proof, dust-proof, water-proof, anti-oxidation, acid-resistant, alkali-resistant thermoplastic resin.

Usage: Mainly used for clothing, bags, electronic products and other items packaging. PE bag because of its excellent chemical stability and physical properties, in the field of food packaging is also widely used, such as LDPE (low density polyethylene) suitable for food packaging, fiber product packaging, daily chemical product packaging, HDPE (high density polyethylene) because of its heat cooking, cold resistance and other characteristics, is also often used in food packaging.

Second, material and characteristics

TTO carbon belt:

Material: Usually composed of a specific heat-sensitive coating and back coating, these coating materials are able to transfer toner to the printing medium when heated.

Features: Strong adaptability, can uniformly transfer ink layer on a variety of materials; Good durability, with good scratch resistance, oil resistance, water resistance and chemical resistance; Support high-speed printing, and environmental protection is gradually improving, more and more products use environmentally friendly materials.

PE packaging:

Material: mainly made of polyethylene, according to different production processes and densities, can be divided into LDPE, HDPE and other types.

Features: non-toxic, tasteless, moisture-proof, dust-proof, water-proof, anti-oxidation, acid-resistant, alkali-resistant; Good chemical stability and physical properties, such as low temperature resistance, acid and alkali corrosion resistance; However, the heat resistance of aging is relatively poor, and it is sensitive to environmental stress.

Third, function and application environment

TTO carbon belt:

Function: Mainly used to print clear, durable graphic information, to provide high-quality printing effect.

Application environment: Adapt to different printing environment and requirements, such as dry, wet environment, etc., and can meet the strict requirements of food, medicine and other industries on packaging labeling.

PE packaging:

Function: It is mainly used for the packaging and protection of articles to prevent contamination and damage during transportation and storage.

Application environment: Widely used in the packaging of various items, especially in the need of moisture, dust, waterproof and other characteristics of the occasion.

To sum up, TTO carbon belt and PE packaging have obvious differences in definition, use, material and characteristics, as well as function and application environment. TTO carbon belt is mainly used for printing clear and durable graphic information, while PE packaging is mainly used for packaging and protection of items. Both play important roles in their respective fields.
