Discover how Only Imaging provides professional TTR solutions to global partners.
Factory-Direct Alternatives to ITW Resins and Kurz Hot Stamping Foils
In the world of highly specialized printing, two names frequently dominate the specification sheets: ITW Thermal Films for extreme-durability resin ribbons, and Leonhard Kurz for premium hot stamping foils.
When a project requires surviving harsh chemical solvents or delivering a flawless metallic finish on luxury packaging, packaging engineers often specify these brands by default. But for procurement teams managing large-scale production runs, relying solely on these premium brands can severely restrict budget flexibility.
Only Imaging bridges the gap between ultra-premium performance and factory-direct economics.
Competing in the High-Performance Resin Market (ITW Alternatives)
ITW is renowned for its specialty resins, such as the B324 or Extreme series, which are utilized in aerospace, automotive, and chemical applications.
Only Imaging’s SP-Chemical and SP-Aero Resin Series are formulated to meet these exact rigorous demands.
-
Solvent Resistance: Our extreme resins feature highly cross-linked polymers that provide total immunity to harsh chemicals like Acetone, Xylene, and Skydrol (aviation hydraulic fluid).
-
Compliance Standard: We engineer our ribbons to support UL 94 V-0 flame retardant specifications and BS5609 Section 3 marine immersion testing, ensuring your labels meet strict regulatory frameworks without the massive brand markup.
Elevating Luxury Packaging (Kurz Foil Alternatives)
Kurz is the gold standard for metallic hot stamping foils, particularly in the cosmetics and premium spirits sectors. Achieving their level of brilliance and release consistency is incredibly difficult.
Our R&D division has developed a line of Sustainable Hot and Cold Foils that rival the industry’s best.
-
Fine Detail and Broad Coverage: Our metallic foils are engineered with precise release layers, allowing label converters to stamp intricate serif typography and solid metallic blocks with zero flaking.
-
Sustainable Formulations: Matching the modern demands of luxury brands, our latest foil series features zero-plastic transfer technology and advanced de-inking properties, ensuring the final packaging remains 100% recyclable.
