Product Overview
BRL-80-BK (Item No. BRL-80-B09) is a black thermal-transfer ribbon, 80 mm wide with a continuous length of 300 m, in the BRL cryogenic ribbon category. A thermal-transfer ribbon is not the label itself but a printing consumable: the printhead transfers the ribbon ink onto the cryogenic label face stock to form low-temperature-resistant barcodes and text.
The page gallery shows two rolls of black ribbon in actual photos, with the description "scratch-resistant, abrasion-resistant, low-temperature resistant, clear printing"; both the page name and the gallery indicate 80 mm × 300 m. The specifications section lists the application as "laboratory cryogenic label printing, biological sample bank identification," compatible printers M611 / EOS2/3, and packaging 1 roll/box.
Compared with the 110 mm wide ribbon in the same series, the 80 mm format is better suited to narrow labels, single-column cryovial labels, or thermal-transfer printing setups with limited space. Whether a cryogenic ribbon meets deep-freeze conditions such as LN₂ or -80 °C must be verified together with the label face stock for the corresponding temperature range.
Key Features
Narrow
80 mm narrow width, fits narrow labels
Both the page name and the gallery indicate 80 mm × 300 m; the 80 mm width suits single-column cryovial labels, narrow microcentrifuge tube labels, or thermal-transfer printers with limited space.
Long
300 m continuous length, fewer roll changes for batch printing
The 300 m continuous length meets the printing needs of periodic relabeling and batch accessioning in sample banks, reducing roll-change downtime.
Black
Black ribbon, high barcode contrast
Black ink forms high-contrast graphics on white or light-colored cryogenic labels, facilitating barcode scanning and long-term visual verification.
Match
Specifications list compatibility with M611 / EOS2/3
The specifications section lists compatible printers as M611 / EOS2/3 laboratory label printers; if used with other models, confirm ribbon width and core compatibility first.

Typical Applications
Batch printing of narrow cryogenic labels
The 80 mm width suits single-column or narrow labels in a single pass, commonly used for labeling cryovials, microcentrifuge tubes, and other small-diameter containers.
Routine restocking of laboratory cryogenic labels
Pairs with the cryogenic label series on this site, providing a stable ribbon supply for biological sample banks, clinical laboratories, and similar settings.
Used together with cryogenic labels
The ribbon must match the label face stock in the same temperature range; for LN₂ or -80 °C applications, select cryogenic labels and ribbons rated for the corresponding temperature range.
Multi-roll stock management
The 1 roll/box packaging makes it easy to restock according to consumable usage and maintain inventory of the same ribbon model, avoiding print quality fluctuations from mixing batches.
FAQ
Q: Is this a label or a ribbon?
A: This product is a thermal-transfer ribbon, not a label. During printing, the ribbon and label face stock feed together, and the printhead transfers the ink onto the label surface to form graphics and text.
Q: How do I choose between 80 mm and 110 mm ribbons?
A: Choose based on your routine label width: the label width should be ≤ the ribbon width. 80 mm suits narrow labels and small-diameter container labels; 110 mm suits medium-to-wide labels. For narrow applications, 80 mm is more economical.
Q: Can it be used directly in LN₂ environments?
A: Whether it meets LN₂ or -80 °C deep-freeze requirements depends on whether the temperature ratings of the ribbon and label face stock match. We recommend completing freeze–thaw verification with actual containers before batch use.
Q: What does "multiple widths available" in the specifications section mean?
A: The dimensions field in the specifications section reads "multiple widths available, see product detail image," but both the page name and the gallery clearly indicate 80 mm × 300 m; please refer to order confirmation for the actual delivered width.
Q: Why is the page name BRL-80-BK while the item number is BRL-80-B09?
A: BRL-80-BK in the page name is the ribbon model, while the page item number/URL is BRL-80-B09; both refer to the same product. Use the page item number when placing an order.
Selection & Usage Guide
1
Select a ribbon for the same temperature range as the label face stock
First confirm the target storage temperature range (LN₂, -80 °C, -40 °C, ambient), then select label face stock and a ribbon of the corresponding rating.
2
Select ribbon width based on label width
Ribbon width should be ≥ label width; the 80 mm format suits narrow labels or small-diameter container labels and is more economical than 110 mm.
3
Run a small test print before installation
For first use or batch changes, print a small sample first to check ink adhesion, barcode readability, and edge cleanliness.
4
Verify freeze–thaw before batch use
For labels used in low-temperature storage, complete a full freeze–thaw cycle with actual containers at the target temperature range and confirm content readability before scaling up.
Consumable Matching Recommendations
- Same temperature range: the ribbon and label face stock must be matched at the same temperature rating, which is key to content readability after freeze–thaw.
- Same model for restocking: keep the same BRL series model when restocking to avoid print density fluctuations from mixing batches.
- Stock as needed: the 300 m length suits batch printing; for small-batch trials, request samples for verification first.
- Storage notes: keep ribbons away from light and moisture, and avoid high-temperature stacking to prevent ink layer aging or blocking.
Note: The official material guide table does not include a BRL series ribbon row; all content on this page comes from the product page specifications section, category name, and gallery photos. Low-temperature performance must be verified together with the selected label face stock. The specifications field "Matching ribbon: this product is a ribbon, no additional matching required" is a generic category field; in actual use, the ribbon must still be selected according to the label face stock temperature rating. The specifications field "multiple widths available, see product detail image" is inconsistent with the 80 mm stated in the page name; please confirm the actual delivered width with customer service before ordering. The page gallery contains marketing banners and watermarks; appearance is subject to the actual product.
Page note: This item is a thermal-transfer ribbon consumable, not a label or printer; temperature and low-temperature resistance statements must be understood together with the matching label face stock. A ribbon alone cannot be applied directly as a specimen label.
