In the RIBtype® system, ribs on the back of the type interlock with ribs on the marking device. This allows for fast changes of text for date coding and lot number changes. Graphics can also be incorporated in the type for product and brand identification.
RIBtype® is compatible with Base-Lock®, Grip-Line®, and Sta-Tite® brands of ribbed rubber type previously manufactured in the U.S.A.
Metric RIBtype® is compatible with Telos®, Posta® and Tiflex® brands made in Europe.
