Why Choose a HL35 Resin Ribbon or a Textile Resin Ribbon?
The HL35 resin ribbon is the gold standard for garment care labelling. Unlike standard wax or resin blends, this formulation is designed to bond permanently with nylon taffeta, satin, and other textile media. They are precision engineered for industrial and environmental resilience:
- Laundry & Dry-Cleaning Proof: Fully resistant to domestic and industrial washing, dry cleaning solvents, and steam pressing.
- Industrial Strength: Withstands the harshest environments, including direct resistance to petrol and corrosive chemicals.
- Heat & Iron Resistant: Designed to remain crisp and legible even after repeated ironing and industrial pressing.
- Certified Safety: Approved for direct food contact, making it a versatile choice for both the textile and food-service industries.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes a ribbon ‘washproof’?
Our textile resin ribbons, particularly the HL35 resin ribbon, are formulated with specific binders that allow the ink to fuse with fabric fibres. This prevents the image from breaking down when exposed to water, heat, and detergents.
Can I use these ribbons on standard paper labels?
While they will print on paper, these ribbons are over-engineered for that purpose. They are best used on satin ribbon printing or nylon taffeta where wash resistance is a mandatory requirement.
Is the HL35 ribbon safe for baby clothes?
Yes, our washproof ribbons are safe for use on garments and are even approved for direct food contact, ensuring they meet high safety standards for a variety of consumer goods.
Will the print survive dry cleaning?
Absolutely. The HL35 formulation is specifically designed to be dry cleaning proof, meaning the ink will not run or fade when exposed to common dry cleaning chemicals.
Which ribbon fits the Zebra ZD411 for care labels?
For the ZD411, you require the 055070HL35 with the 2-inch core. It is the perfect width for most care labels and fits the spindle requirements of that specific printer series.
Do you offer bulk discounts for high-volume garment manufacturers?
Yes. We can support large-scale textile operations across the UK with competitive tiered pricing on wholesale orders or label ribbons. Contact us today for quantity pricing
Can I print in colours other than black?
We stock black washproof resin as standard, but we also offer red, blue, green, and pink options in 55mm widths to help with branding or safety warnings.
How do I prevent my care labels from fraying?
While the ribbon handles the ink, the material choice is key. We recommend using our washproof ribbons in conjunction with our high-quality nylon or satin care label rolls for a professional, durable finish.
Don't let your brand fade away in the wash. Ensure your care instructions remain permanent with Northern Label Systems Ltd textile labelling supplies.
