Powering Progress in Printing: Zhuoli Launches Major TTR Manufacturing Expansion Project

2025-04-23

Zhuoli Imaging Technology Co., Ltd.—a trailblazer in China’s thermal transfer ribbon (TTR) industry and a certified National High-Tech Enterprise—is once again redefining what’s possible in automatic identification materials.

Our advanced ribbons fuel innovation across IoT, smart manufacturing, intelligent logistics, and beyond—serving industries from electronics to automotive with precision and performance.

 

 


 

Dual-Engine Growth: Tech Innovation Meets Smart Manufacturing

 

To break free from market homogenization and unlock the next phase of growth, Zhuoli is investing $15.5 million USD in a cutting-edge production upgrade project, boosting annual output to 600 million sqm of TTR.

This strategic move will rebuild our production system around three key pillars: Intelligence. Efficiency. Sustainability.

 

 Technological Leap

We’re replacing traditional machines with 4 high-speed coaters (2 wax-based, 2 resin-based). The result?+40% production efficiency and industry-leading quality consistency.

 

Eco-Friendly Engineering

Steam replaces electric heating. Solvent recovery uses cryogenic tech. A fully automated logistics system reduces energy usage by 30%, meeting global environmental standards and driving green innovation.

 

Unmatched Global Capacity

With 300 million sqm each in wax and resin ribbons, our capacity now ranks among the top globally, ensuring rapid delivery and global supply chain resilience.

 


 

Diverse Product Portfolio. Tailored Performance

 

Wax Ribbons: The E-commerce Power Duo

For fast-moving e-commerce and logistics environments, our wax ribbons offer the perfect mix of speed, affordability, and clarity, cutting costs while boosting output.

 

Resin Ribbons: The Customization Specialist

Designed for demanding applications—outdoor signage, mechanical labeling, chemical tags—our resin ribbons excel in resistance, durability and long-term legibility.

 


 

Shared Growth. Sustainable Future.

This project isn’t just about scaling up—it’s about creating value with our customers, employees, and community.

 

Economic Impact

  • Revenue Boost: Projected $54 million USD annually, with high-end resin ribbons contributing over 60%.
  • Tax & Profit Gains: Over $12 million USD in annual tax and profit will be reinvested into R&D, launching new high-performance ribbons.
  • Cost Advantage: Scaled manufacturing and intelligent systems enhance price stability and risk resilience.

 

Social Responsibility

  • Jobs Created: 100+ new skilled positions, with university partnerships building future-ready talent.
  • Industrial Synergy: 2 advanced Class-C warehouses integrated into the supply chain, increasing turnover efficiency by 40% and reducing inventory costs.

 


 

Toward a Global Smart Manufacturing Hub

This expansion marks a key leap toward our ambition: Leading China. Competing globally.

 

Ecosystem Building

We aim to form an industry alliance with upstream and downstream partners, promoting open standards, shared tech, and collective progress.

 

Smart Factory Vision

Powered by 5G connectivity and predictive analytics, our future-ready facility will enable pre-stocked fulfillment—even before orders arrive.
