Z-Essentials 540T
Thermal transfer top-coated paper label with permanent acrylic adhesive
Z-Essentials paper barcode labels are designed for mass-market applications and offer exceptional value. The Z-Essential 540T is a thermal transfer top-coated paper label with permanent acrylic adhesive, making it an economical choice for high-volume applications such as shipping labels, food labeling, work-in-process labeling, and other similar uses.
Moreover, the Z-Essential 540T complies with FDA 175.105 regulations for indirect food contact, making it suitable for application on shrink wrap and other food packaging.
With a service temperature range of -40°F to 140°F (-40°C to 60°C) and a minimum application temperature of 40°F (4°C), the Z-Essential 540T is versatile and reliable in various temperature conditions. Notably, the Z-Essential 540T label is approximately 25% thinner than an equivalent Z-Perform product, allowing for more labels per roll and offering a lower price point.
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.
Recommended Ribbon
To ensure high-quality print images with the Z-Essential 540T label material, we recommend using the Zebra 1600 Wax Ribbon. This ribbon is ideal for paper materials in environments with limited chemical and abrasion exposure. Together, these products provide an excellent solution for our cost-conscious customers.
Customization Available
Zebra can deliver Z-Essentials 540T 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.
