Z-Essentials 540D

Direct thermal paper label

Z-Essentials 540D is a direct thermal uncoated paper label with hot melt rubber adhesive and a glassine liner. The label is ideal for shipping, retail pricing, food labeling, work-in-process labeling, and other short-life high-volume applications. The permanent rubber adhesive can be used in ambient and cold environments and can be applied to surfaces as cold as 32°F/0°C.The label is designed to adhere to moist surfaces, making it suitable for food labeling applications where moisture or refrigeration could be factors. It complies with FDA 175.105 for indirect food contact requirements.

Print Confident. Print Quality. Print Zebra.

Printing supplies can impact everything from printhead lifespan to operational efficiency. That’s why we design, produce and rigorously pre-test our own line of thermal printing supplies to ensure consistent, optimized performance. We utilize an ISO 9001 certified, 23-point inspection process and consistent materials to ensure reliable performance from order-to-order. No matter when you order your labels, you can count on the same consistent performance.

Features

The total caliper of the label is 10% thinner than an average direct thermal paper label. That means 10% more labels on the roll, increasing productivity as rolls need to be replaced fewer times. The reduced thickness makes this label more environmentally sustainable, as it requires less packaging as well as reduced shipping and warehousing costs.


Customization Available

Zebra can deliver Z-Essentials 540D labels in just about any size, shape or label set configuration to meet the requirements of your application and process. In addition, our flexographic print presses can add pre-printed text, graphics and color.
