Material details come from the supplied Z-Perform 1500T family sheet. The sheet does not identify SKU 10021230 or independently verify its dimensions or packaging; these retain the listing's existing SKU specifications. Although the material is suitable for fanfolding, this SKU is supplied as rolls.

Temperature and storage

• Minimum application temperature: 25°F (-4°C)

Application temperature applies when placing the label; the service range describes conditions in use and is not a storage recommendation. Test adhesion on your intended surface under actual operating conditions.

Printing and compatibility guidance

Zebra recommends this material family for printing applications up to 14 inches per second. This is not a guaranteed operating speed for every printer, ribbon or barcode design. Validate print settings and barcode readability before production.

The sheet includes Zebra 6000, 2000 and 6100 ribbons in its testing guidance. Select a ribbon format suited to your exact printer and application. Confirm that your printer supports the label width, 3" core, 8" roll diameter, material thickness and sensing requirements. A 4" print width alone does not establish roll compatibility.

Suggested applications

Use for indoor packaging-material identification and work-in-process tracking where paper labels with permanent adhesive meet the application requirements. Suitability for shipping or other prescribed label layouts depends on your software, printer and required format. Do not assume resistance to solvents, oils or other chemicals; test the complete label and ribbon combination.

Frequently asked questions

Does Zebra 10021230 require a ribbon?

Yes. These are thermal transfer labels, not direct thermal labels. Ribbon is sold separately.

How many labels are supplied?

A case contains 4 rolls, with 1,500 labels per roll.

Will this roll fit any 4-inch printer?

No. Verify the exact printer's roll capacity, core support, media width and sensing requirements. The 3" core and 8" outer diameter must match its specifications.

Is this material recommended outdoors?

No. The manufacturer does not recommend Z-Perform 1500T for outdoor use.

Are the labels perforated?

Perforation is not confirmed by the supplied family sheet or existing SKU specifications. Confirm construction before ordering if tear-off separation is required.

Is the print smear-resistant?

Print durability depends on ribbon selection, settings and exposure conditions. Test your actual combination rather than assuming universal smear or chemical resistance.
