- Do I need ink or a ribbon with these labels?
- No. They are direct thermal labels, so a compatible direct thermal printer darkens them with heat alone. They will not work in a standard inkjet or laser printer.
- Will these fit my label printer?
- They are 2-1/8 by 4 inches, the standard size for 4x6-inch direct thermal shipping printers. Check that your printer accepts a 2-1/8-inch-wide roll before buying.
- Are they waterproof?
- No. Direct thermal labels are not water-resistant, and the print can smudge or fade if the label gets wet or sits in heat or direct sunlight.
- How long does the print last?
- Indoors and out of sunlight, the print typically stays readable for months. In hot vehicles, direct sun or damp storage it can fade or smudge sooner.
- What is on the roll?
- One roll of 140 white die-cut labels with permanent adhesive, sized 2-1/8 by 4 inches. No ink, ribbon or printer is included.
- Are these good for high-volume shipping?
- They work fine for a few labels a day, but 140 per roll means frequent reordering if you ship in bulk. Larger rolls or thermal transfer labels may suit heavy volume better.
