Product Quality

TMA’s Research and Development Team of qualified chemists oversees the quality of our products as they are produced to ensure that they comply with the specifications detailed in our Product Data Sheets. They also develop the specialist grades required by our customers that are suitable for the varying environmental conditions to which the product may be exposed, such as heat, water, plasticiser, oil, humidity, alcohol and water resistance.

In addition, our quality control personnel rigorously monitor all aspects of the production process from the input of raw materials, throughout the manufacturing and application of thermal coating processes, to the printing and converting of the finished product.

TMA’s in-house laboratory facility offers us the opportunity to test the multi-feed and print capability of our products across a wide range of printers. This in turn allows us to work co-operatively with the manufacturers of the thermal printers to further enhance our products.

Product Warranty & Accreditation

Product Warranty

TMA applies stringent quality control to all manufactured products. We have installed our own thermal printers to carry out in-house printing tests on our products to ensure they are of the highest quality and are compatible with the direct thermal printers currently in use.

Due to the specialised nature of thermal products, it is critical that the correct handling, packaging and storage conditions are observed to achieve optimum product performance.

SHELF-LIFE.
TMA thermal products should be stored in dark conditions with a relative humidity between 45% and 65% and with a temperature below 25°C to ensure the performance of the product for at least three years from its date of manufacture.

STABILITY.
Once TMA thermal products have been fully imaged, the print will remain legible for five years, providing the documents are stored with compatible materials and under the appropriate storage conditions.

Most thermal products, regardless of manufacturer, are susceptible to the factors detailed above. For additional information regarding the use of any TMA thermal products, please contact us for a specific product recommendation.

PRINT-HEAD WARRANTY.
TMA has full confidence in the print performance of all of our direct thermal products. We guarantee that they will not increase the print-head wear when compared to competing products. TMA provides each customer with a guarantee that the print-head will provide more than 30,000 linear metres of print before any print-head resistor failure is caused by product wear.

Enjoyment
  • The Twist Cup keeps the beverage inside hotter or colder for longer.
Convenience
  • No more double cupping or attaching cardboard sleeves.
Environmental Impact
  • The Twist Cup, made predominantly of paper, is completely recyclable.
Print Effect
