More About These Labels
At 100mm wide this takes a full barcode plus several lines of text, which makes it workable for safety and chemical marking where the label has to carry real information rather than just a code.
Polypropylene shrugs off water, oils and tearing, so the label stays intact on drums, crates and equipment kept outside. Pair with a resin ribbon for chemical and abrasion resistance, or wax-resin for sheltered use.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a ribbon to print these?
Yes. Thermal transfer printing melts ink from a ribbon onto the label face, so a ribbon is always required. A wax-resin ribbon suits general indoor use, and a full resin ribbon is the right choice where the print has to survive abrasion, chemicals or outdoor exposure.
Are these labels waterproof?
The polypropylene face stock is waterproof and tear resistant, so the label itself will not pulp or fall apart when it gets wet. Pair it with a resin ribbon if the printed text also needs to resist water, solvents and rubbing.
What is the difference between thermal transfer and direct thermal?
Direct thermal labels darken under heat alone and need no ribbon, but the print fades with sunlight, heat and handling. Thermal transfer labels like these use a ribbon and hold their print far longer, which is why they suit asset tags, outdoor use and anything that has to stay readable for years.
Which printers will these fit?
They suit most desktop and industrial thermal transfer printers, including Zebra, Godex, TSC, SATO, Honeywell and Bixolon, provided the printer takes the roll width and core size listed above. If you are not sure, call us on 1300 115 808 with your printer model and we will confirm.
Suited to chemical stores, workshops and yards that need a large, legible, weatherproof label and are printing in modest volumes rather than by the thousand.
