About Thermal Ribbons Australia
For over 24 years, Thermal Ribbons Australia has been a family-owned and operated business dedicated to the success of our customers in the labelling and coding industry. As MICRvision Pty Ltd we imported thermal ribbons before acquiring our first (used) slitting machine in 2006, and shortly after that registered the business name Thermal Ribbons Australia.
In the early days we didn’t have access to the big name TTR brands we now provide, but we always provided value for money, and bent over backwards to please our growing reseller base. Operating from a 100 SQM facility in the northern area of Sydney, it didn’t take long for us to need bigger premises. This became a regular occurrence, with the company moving to ever bigger premises at the end of every lease, due wholly to demand from our growing reseller base, happy with the personalised service provided and our fair pricing policies.
When our lease expired at our 400 SQM Frenchs Forest premises in late 2017 and we needed bigger premises again, we decided to relocate to the southern Brisbane area in Queensland, where we now operate from an 800 SQM factory.
Today we purchase our films from the world’s leading TTR coaters and have a factory full of new slitting machines and ancillary equipment, but we still bend over backwards to please our reseller base, and always will.
We can’t help it:

Product Range
In competition, size matters. If one is not the biggest, then one needs a big friend.
Thermal Ribbons Australia is the friend you need. We stock the largest range of TTR films of any Australian or NZ converter. From low cost waxes to ultra premium resins, we have films to meet any end user requirement, at competitive price points. We only sell to resellers, so we do not compete with you.
Our services include matching our products to your label stocks, scratch and abrasion testing of printed samples, chemical resistance testing, and very high or low temperature testing.
What does the largest range of TTR films even mean?
It means that we stock 3 different grades of wax, from very low cost Chinese to our premium USA made wax.
It means that we stock 4 different grades of wax resin, made in the USA, China and Japan, including B110A, Australia’s best known wax resin.
It means that we stock 17 (yes 17!) grades of resin, covering applications from general purpose resin, to ultra cold or ultra hot applications, to specialised chemical resistant resins.
It means that we stock 4 grades of premium Japanese made Near Edge wax resin.
It means that we stock 7 grades of colour wax resin, 5 grades of colour resin, and 5 grades of colour near edge wax resin. Nobody does colour like we do!
