Why Zebra labels?

Zebra barcode labels are highly regarded for their world-class quality and reliability. Designed to work in perfect harmony with Zebra barcode printers, these labels meet the demands of nearly every application, including retail labels and tags, healthcare patient and specimen identification, transportation shipping and pallet labels, and manufacturing product identification and inventory tracking. They also adhere to the company’s standards of excellence.

Zebra only uses quality materials when manufacturing labels, tags, receipt paper, and ribbons. Then, they extensively test each product for print quality, chemical resistance, and adhesive strength. Doing so results in crisp, precise images that are accurately scanned the first time, which expedites processing and improves productivity across the entire supply chain.

Other advantages offered by Zebra include:

• Quick shipping from one of four conveniently located U.S. manufacturing plants
• Inventory management programs that minimize costs and reduce delivery times
• A print head protection program that rewards customer loyalty with free print heads
• Enhanced usability by offering extensive manufacturing options such as lamination, perforations, face and back slits, custom sizes, and color preprinting
• Compliance with ISO 90001:2008 requirements, which ensures consistent, high-quality products

When shopping Zebra labels, there are several factors to consider.

• Print technology – Do you need direct thermal or thermal transfer labels? Direct thermal is best for items with short live spans—such as receipts, shipping labels, and wristbands—while thermal transfer labels are chemical- and abrasion-receipt, making them ideal for rugged applications.
• Materials – Most materials fall into one of two categories: paper and synthetics, such as polyester and polypropylene. Choose from coated, uncoated, high-gloss, or matte finishes.
• Adhesives – Common types include acrylic, rubber, high-performance, high temperature, cold temperature, all temperature, removable, ultra-removable, multi-removable, high-tack acrylic, and high-tack rubber.
• Compliance – Specific labels meet requirements for UL/cUL, CSA, UID, and IMDS certifications.
• Size – Label sizes range from tiny to tall for identifying and tracking everything from parts to chemical drums.
• RFID – Encode tags with RFID chips when using this tracking technology.
