More About These Labels
Polypropylene does not pulp, tear or curl the way paper does, so these hold up to moisture, handling and temperature swings. At 2500 labels to a roll the reload interval is long, which matters on a narrow label that gets used in volume.
Pair with a wax-resin ribbon for general indoor marking, or a full resin ribbon where the print faces solvents, abrasion or outdoor exposure. The 38mm core suits mid range and industrial printers.

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.
Worth choosing where a small identification label has to survive washdowns, outdoor storage or years on a component, and a paper label would not last the distance.
