ARMOR-IIMAK launches AWR XL: the revolutionary Thermal transfer ribbon!
At Label Expo Europe 2025, ARMOR-IIMAK, the global leader in Thermal Transfer ribbons, will announce the launch of AWR XL, a revolutionary wax ribbon that redefines sustainability and performance in label printing.

Designed for traditional applications such as logistics, retail, and shipping, AWR XL combines cutting-edge innovation with the competitiveness of standard wax ribbons.
What sets AWR XL apart is its unmatched environmental profile. It is the first wax ribbon to combine a 100% solvent-free formulation - including the backcoat – together with a 3.35µm PET film, the thinnest in the industry. This results in up to 26% less plastic waste and 830g of CO₂ saved per roll, helping ARMOR-IIMAK customers meet the growing sustainability demands of brand owners and industrial companies.
Beyond its eco-credentials, AWR XL delivers tangible operational benefits. Its ultra-thin PET and new ink formulation extra-long length rolls which translate into fewer roll changes, reduced packaging waste, and an increased productivity with up to 40% additional printer uptime. Companies also make direct savings on logistics, storage, and waste disposal costs.
With AWR XL, ARMOR-IIMAK empowers its partners to make a real difference, combining sustainability, efficiency, and affordability in one game changer Thermal Transfer ribbons.
