Thermal labels · ribbons · any standard size

The half of the printer you keep buying.

A printer is bought once. The stock that goes through it is bought for as long as you own the machine — and it is the part that decides whether the barcode still scans in a year, and whether the printhead lasts.

We supply labels and ribbons for Zebra printers in any standard size, matched to the machine you actually have rather than to a catalogue number you have to work out yourself.

Here for ribbons rather than labels? Go straight to the ribbons — wax, wax-resin and resin, in both printer sizes.

Two kinds of stock

How long does the label have to last?

That is the whole question, and it is about the job rather than the machine. Weeks, and the cheaper stock is right. Years, and it is not.

Direct thermal

Heat-sensitive label, no ribbon

The label darkens under the printhead. Nothing else to buy, and nothing to load. It fades with sunlight, heat and handling, which is why it belongs on anything read within weeks — courier labels, despatch, date labels.

You buy: labels only.

Thermal transfer

Plain label, plus a ribbon

The ribbon melts onto the label, so the print does not fade. Two things to order instead of one, and they have to suit each other — wax, wax-resin and resin ribbons are not interchangeable, and the right pairing depends on the stock.

You buy: labels and ribbons.

Most printers take either — check before you assume yours will not. Every industrial machine runs both: load a ribbon or do not, and it does not care. Desktop printers are the ones where it can be decided for you, because the ribbon-free models are built without the mechanism and cannot be converted later. If you are not sure which you have, send us a photograph of the machine and we will tell you.

The pairing is what kills printheads. A resin ribbon run against the wrong stock, or a label that is more abrasive than the head was designed for, takes the printhead out early — and a replacement printhead is the expensive part of the printer. Getting that pairing right is most of what we are for, and it is why we ask what machine you have before quoting anything.

Start with the printer, not the label.

You do not need to know what your labels are called. Open the machine and look at what is loaded in it — that one answer rules out most of this page.

Usually in stock — the quote confirms it. Most of this moves often enough to ship the same week. Some of it, particularly the ones that come off cleanly, is made in small batches to order rather than held for a year: removable adhesive cures on the shelf in a hot warehouse, and a label that tears instead of lifting is worse than one you waited a fortnight for.

Sizes not on this list are ordinary rather than exotic — the list is what moves, not what exists. Send the dimensions.

Straight answer

We quote these rather than list them.

Not to be coy about it. Consumables genuinely do not have one price, and publishing a single number would be wrong for most of the ways you can buy them.

They come by the carton, and the carton is not a fixed thing

The same 102 × 150 mm label is four rolls to a box in one configuration and five in another. Fanfold is bought by the box outright — 3,000 labels, no smaller unit. Ribbons have their own minimums again. A price per roll would be a price for something you often cannot actually order.

Sometimes we break the carton anyway

For customers we hold stock for, we open the box and send four ribbons rather than sixteen. That costs more per unit and is worth it if the alternative is a year of stock in your storeroom. It is also not a number that belongs on a webpage.

Most of it ships direct

Straight to your door rather than through our hands first, which saves a leg of freight and a day. Freight depends on where you are, and a carton of labels to Parramatta is not a carton of labels to Port Hedland.

Tell us what you have and we will price it

Same day on a weekday if it is something we hold. A custom size, material or quantity takes about a day — there is a real answer to work out and we would rather be right than quick.

If you are already buying labels somewhere, send us what is on the box and we will quote the same thing — or tell you honestly that what you have is right and we cannot beat it.

Photographed 20 August 2026

This is the shelf.

Our own stock in Berowra, taken on the date above. Everything this page says about cartons and counts is readable in these two photographs, which is the cheapest way to show that a claim is not marketing.

Two sealed Zebra label cartons on a white warehouse shelf beside an open roll of white labels, with a barcoded bin label reading B-4-L on the shelf edge. Both carton labels read ROLLS/BOX 4 and LABELS/ROLL 1000. — Bin **B-4-L**. Two sealed cartons of the same size in different stock: **Z-Perform 2000T** on the left is thermal transfer, **Z-Perform 1000D** on the right is direct thermal. Which one you need is decided by your printer, not by the price. The open roll beside them is the same 102 × 150.

Close view of the top of a Zebra label carton showing red and white SECURITY SEAL tape across the flap, above a carton label reading Zebra Technologies Corp and MADE IN USA. — The same carton, close enough to read. **ROLLS/BOX 4**, **LABELS/ROLL 1000**, **4″ × 6″** — which is 102 × 150 mm. The red tape is Zebra's own **security seal** and the label reads **MADE IN USA**: genuine stock is made there and shipped here sealed, so an unbroken seal is worth a look when somebody quotes you Zebra labels.

Two stacks of yellow fanfold labels folded flat on a white warehouse shelf, with a barcoded bin label reading G-2-L on the shelf edge. — Yellow fanfold in bin **G-2-L**. No core and no roll — a block that folds flat and feeds off the stack, which suits a printer that sits still and runs all day. It is bought by the box rather than by the roll, and that is the honest reason there is no price per label on this page.

If you already buy labels somewhere

The four reasons people move.

In the order we actually hear them, after thirty-five years of having the conversation. Nobody changes label supplier for fun — something happened.

Price

It is the first reason and there is no point pretending otherwise. So: if you buy labels regularly and somebody is cheaper, tell us. We would rather match it and keep the account than win the argument.

That offer is for people who buy again. A single carton at cost helps neither of us, and we will say so rather than quote you something we cannot repeat.

Lead times and availability

Four weeks for something that used to take four days, and usually no warning until the storeroom is already empty. A label that arrives late stops a dispatch bench as completely as a broken printer does, and costs more.

We hold the high movers here rather than ordering them when you ask, which is the entire difference on this one.

Paper and ribbon quality

Faint print, labels that curl or lift off a carton in the cold, adhesive that gives up in a hot yard. And the expensive version: a ribbon and a stock that were never meant to meet, quietly wearing out printheads. Two or three heads in a couple of years is not bad luck.

Nobody selling on price alone is going to raise that with you. What actually kills a printhead →

A new requirement they cannot fill

The job changes. Now it needs a freezer-grade adhesive, or a synthetic that survives outdoors, or a removable that comes off retail stock without a mark, or a size nobody stocks. The existing supplier has a catalogue and the catalogue does not have it.

We stock the high movers and make the rest to order — size, material, adhesive, colour, core and wind direction, built for your printer rather than chosen from a list.

Ask for a price

Four things and we can quote it.

None of them are compulsory — if you only know some of it, send what you have. A photograph of the box the last lot came in answers most of this on its own.

Send a photo of the box.

The part number, the size and the core are all printed on it, and that is genuinely faster than describing them. Photograph it and we can quote from that.
