Material details are based on the supplied Z-Perform 1500T family sheet. That sheet does not identify part 10021228 or independently verify its dimensions or packaging; roll size and quantities retain this listing's existing SKU specifications. The sheet's statement that the material is suitable for fanfolding does not mean this roll SKU is supplied fanfolded.

Application temperature applies when placing the label. Service temperatures describe performance in use, not recommended storage conditions. Test the actual label and ribbon combination on your surface under intended operating conditions.
Printing and compatibility
The manufacturer recommends Z-Perform 1500T material for printing applications up to 14 inches per second. This is material-level guidance, not a guaranteed speed for every printer, ribbon or label design. Adjust settings and test barcode readability before production use.
The sheet lists Zebra 6000, 2000 and 6100 ribbons in its material testing guidance. Select a compatible ribbon format for your exact printer and performance requirements. Before ordering, confirm support for the 4" label width, 3" core, 8" outer diameter, material thickness and label-sensing requirements. Print width alone does not confirm roll fit.
Applications
The material family is intended for packaging-material identification and work-in-process labeling. Use the longer 4" x 8" face when the label layout requires additional space, and verify that the selected ribbon and material meet the handling and exposure requirements of your application. Do not assume outdoor durability or broad chemical resistance.
Frequently asked questions
Does Zebra 10021228 need a ribbon?
Yes. This is a thermal transfer label, not a direct thermal label. A compatible ribbon is required and sold separately.
How many rolls are included?
One case contains 4 rolls, with 750 labels per roll.
Does the 8-inch measurement describe the label or roll?
Both measurements apply independently: each label is 8" long, and the roll outer diameter is also 8". The label width is 4".
Will these rolls fit a desktop printer?
Check the exact printer specifications. A 3" core and 8" outer diameter require matching media capacity; a 4" print width alone is not sufficient to establish compatibility.
Are these labels suitable outdoors?
No. The Z-Perform 1500T sheet does not recommend outdoor use.
Are these labels perforated?
Neither the supplied material sheet nor the existing SKU specifications confirms perforation. Confirm the roll construction before ordering if perforation is required.
