Resin Ribbons
Resin ribbons are the most durable type of ribbon, made not to smudge, scratch, and are chemical resistant. This ribbon is a great option for outdoor and harsh environment use.
Wax/Resin Ribbons
Wax and resin ribbons are a mix of the two materials, allowing benefits from both types of ribbons. These ribbons are cost-effective as they aren't as expensive as resin ribbons, but are still sustainable for a wide range of applications.
