"thermal transfer" indicates the print method. The main component of a thermal transfer printer is the pressure strip, which consists of a pattern of points to be heated. As soon as a point is heated, the colour of the TT foil (unicoloured, mostly black) transfuses onto the additionally required "white band".
A motif (label) is pre-printed onto the "white band". The TT foil and the pre-printed band pass together through the TT printer at the same speed.
The length of pre-printed label band is normally about 100 up to 500 meters.
The following list of common band properties also informs on potential fields of application:

Very smooth acetate-satin-fabric _
with a pressure-sensitive adhesive, e. g. for mattress labels, or
with a combination adhesive, e. g. for carpet labels,
the adhesive force is improved by ironing.
