Compatible Zebra Labels 3" x 1" (76.2x25.4mm) - Direct Thermal for Zebra Printers

Before you order labels, it helps to match three things: the printer, the print method and the size. These Direct Thermal Labels 3"×1" for Zebra Printers (SKU THERMAL-LABELS-76.2X25.4MM-2000) are made around all three, for barcode printing, shipping and inventory management.

What to check

• Printer: they are compatible labels, so they're made to work in Zebra printers rather than sold as Zebra's own stock.
• Print method: direct thermal means the printer's heated head darkens the label surface itself. A ribbon (the inked film some printers use) isn't part of the process, so there's nothing extra to buy for printing.
• Size: 3" x 1", which is 76.2 x 25.4 mm. Enter the same size in your label software or print settings so the layout sits properly on the label.
• Adhesive: strong, intended for secure application once the label is down.

Where they fit

A wide, short 3" x 1" label gives you room for a barcode plus a little supporting detail. That suits tagging stock, marking items for inventory and putting shipping information on parcels. They're pitched at business and industrial use rather than occasional home printing.

If you're also setting up a system that sends labels to a Zebra printer, check the label size is set to 76.2x25.4mm there as well as in the printer.
