Zebra printers are versatile and work with various label types, making them ideal for many industries. The two main types of labels used with Zebra printers are direct thermal and thermal transfer labels.
For long-lasting labels, thermal transfer is recommended, as transferring using a ribbon to create a more durable print, ideal for longer-lasting applications such as asset tagging or inventory labels.
Direct thermal labels are best for indoor applications where the labels won’t be exposed to harsh environments, like shipping labels, as they don’t require a ribbon and are heat-sensitive.
Zebra printers support various label sizes, ranging from small barcodes to large shipping labels, ensuring there’s a label type to fit your specific business needs. Ensure your label choice matches your business's operational needs to optimise your Zebra printer's performance.
