Material construction and printing
Z-Select 4000D combines a 3.2 mil coated direct thermal paper facestock, a 0.8 mil adhesive layer and a 2.3 mil, 40 lb. semi-bleached kraft liner. Total construction thickness is 6.3 mil ±10%. Zebra specifies good print quality at speeds up to 10 inches per second for this material. Actual operating speed depends on printer capability, settings and label design.
Applications and format selection
Use this compact format for product identifiers, stock organization, work-in-process tracking and logistics information. For shipping or compliance layouts, verify that the required text, barcode dimensions and label format fit the 2.25" x 3" area. These labels are not a substitute for a required 4" x 6" shipping label.
Printer fit
Select a direct thermal printer that accepts the media width, 1" core, 5" roll diameter and material thickness. Verify sensing and media-handling requirements for the exact model. A printer's nominal print width alone does not establish roll compatibility. No thermal transfer ribbon is required. Contact us for help checking fit before ordering.
Temperature and storage
- Minimum application temperature: -20°F (-29°C)
- Service temperature: -65°F to 140°F (-54°C to 60°C)
- Optimal storage: 72°F (22°C) at 50% relative humidity
Application temperature describes conditions when attaching the label. Service temperature describes exposure after application, not the permitted initial application temperature. Pre-test adhesion and print readability on the intended surface under actual operating conditions.
Exposure limitations
This paper material has limited moisture and abrasion resistance and is not recommended for outdoor use. Window cleaner, alcohol, ammonia, bleach, IPA, gasoline, grease, oil, acetone, MEK, TCE and xylene are not recommended exposures. Choose media designed for tougher conditions when solvent resistance, heavy abrasion or outdoor durability is required.
