Abstract (en)

A thermally printable commercially functional cash register tape produced from a thin machine direction oriented, heat stabilized, multi-layer, coextruded thermoplastic film (10) is described. This thermoplastic tape replaces the currently used paper cash register tape. It will accept printing, has sufficient machine direction stiffness and sufficiently reduced surface electrical charges to function in conventional commercial cash register printers. The thermoplastic tape is much thinner than the conventional paper tape so a roll of the plastic register tape contains about 4.7 times the paper length of a typical cash register roll. <IMAGE>
