Mynds is our own ribbon brand, coated and converted at our New Delhi plant. Because we cut the rolls ourselves, we hold roughly 150 variants across the five grades — every common width and length, both core sizes, and both wind directions — so the size your printer takes is a stock item rather than a six-week import.
Wax
Mynds 20 Wax
The everyday ribbon. High-sensitivity wax that prints clean, dense barcodes at speed and at low darkness settings, which is easier on the printhead and cheaper per label than pushing a harder ribbon.
Prints on:
Uncoated and matt-coated paper labels.
Used for:
Carton and shipping labels, warehouse and inventory labels, retail price and MRP labels, courier and e-commerce manifests, general despatch.
Resin
Mynds 30 Resin
A step up in durability where a wax print would smudge. Holds its edge under handling, moisture and light abrasion, and prints sharp enough for small text and dense 2D codes.
Prints on:
Gloss-coated paper and entry-level synthetic labels.
Used for:
Cold-chain and frozen goods, logistics labels handled repeatedly, chemical and lubricant packaging, labels that live outdoors for weeks rather than hours.
Premium resin
Mynds 40 Premium Resin
Full resin for labels that have to survive the product they are stuck to. Resists solvents, oils, heat and sustained abrasion, and stays scannable after the kind of treatment that destroys a wax print in minutes.
Prints on:
Polyester, polypropylene, polyimide, vinyl and other synthetic label stock.
Used for:
Asset and equipment tags, electronics and PCB labels, automotive components, pharmaceutical and laboratory labelling, drum and chemical containers, outdoor and rating plates.
Washcare / textile
Mynds 50 Washcare
Built for garment care labels and nothing else. Bonds to woven textile tape and survives industrial laundering, repeated domestic wash cycles, dry cleaning solvent and pressing — which is the whole test a care label has to pass.
Prints on:
Satin, taffeta, nylon and polyester woven tapes.
Used for:
Care and content labels, size and brand labels, wash instruction labels, laundry and hospitality tagging, garment export documentation labels.
Near-edge / thermal transfer overprinting
Mynds 60 Near-edge TTO
Cut for thermal transfer overprinters rather than label printers. A near-edge head strikes the ribbon at an angle and at line speed, so it needs a harder backcoat to survive the friction and a release layer tuned to transfer in milliseconds onto film rather than paper. Flat-head ribbon in a TTO coder smears, drags, and takes the printhead with it — this is the ribbon that does not.
Prints on:
Flexible packaging film, laminate, foil, BOPP and PET webs.
Used for:
Date and batch coding on packaging lines, flow-wrap and sachet printing, pouch and laminate coding, FMCG and food packaging, pharmaceutical carton coding.
Converted for flat-head and near-edge printers
Flat-head printers
Desktop and industrial thermal transfer label printers, where the printhead sits flat against the platen. Standard label printing across warehousing, retail and manufacturing.

Near-edge TTO printers
Thermal transfer overprinters mounted on packaging and filling lines, printing directly onto film and laminate at line speed. Near-edge machines need a different ribbon construction from flat-head printers — ordering flat-head ribbon for a TTO coder is the most common consumables mistake we see.
