Roll
Printer fit — 3" core, 8" outer diameter. This is an industrial roll. It needs a printer with a 3″ media spindle — Zebra ZT/ZM series, Honeywell PM/PX, SATO CL-NX, TSC MH/MB, Datamax I-Class and similar. It will not fit a desktop printer such as the Zebra ZD421, Rollo, DYMO or Brother QL, which take a 1″ core.
Direct thermal — no ribbon. The printhead darkens the heat-sensitive facestock directly. Printed images fade with heat, sunlight and abrasion, so these suit shipping and short-life applications rather than asset tags.
Materials, adhesive performance, storage, shelf life and regulatory information are common to this
range and are documented on our
label materials & compliance page.

Check three things before you order
Core size & roll diameter
This is the most common cause of a wrong order. Industrial and table-top printers take 3" core rolls up to roughly 8" outer diameter. Desktop printers take 1" core rolls up to roughly 5" outer diameter. A 3" core roll will not fit a desktop printer, and a 1" core roll will spin freely on an industrial spindle.
This label: 3" core, 8" outer diameter
Label width
The label must be equal to or narrower than your printer’s maximum print width — a 4" printer will not feed a 4.5" label. If you are printing thermal transfer, your ribbon also needs to be at least as wide as the label.
This label: 4" × 3"
No ribbon required
These are direct thermal labels. The printhead darkens the heat-sensitive facestock directly, so there is no ribbon to buy and nothing to load — if you put these in a thermal transfer setup with a ribbon fitted, you will get faint or doubled print. Direct thermal print fades with heat, sunlight and abrasion, so it suits shipping labels and short-life applications rather than long-term asset tags.
This label: Direct thermal — no ribbon needed
