Understanding Zebra Branded Labels Zebra branded labels are thermal transfer paper labels manufactured to Zebra's own media specifications. Using genuine Zebra label stock alongside your Zebra printer helps ensure the label and print head work as intended, reducing the risk of feed errors, inconsistent print density, or premature print head wear over time.
Zebra Label Ranges Available CDM Labels stocks two Zebra label series. The Z-Perform 1000T is an uncoated thermal transfer paper label with acrylic permanent adhesive, suited to general-purpose product identification, logistics, and warehouse labelling. The Z-Select 2000T is a matt top-coated label with an ultra-smooth surface, providing sharper print quality for applications where barcode readability and print clarity are a priority.
Sizes Available Our Zebra branded label range covers sizes from 51x25mm through to 148x210mm, including popular formats such as 76x51mm, 102x76mm, and 102x152mm. If you need a size not listed, our wider thermal transfer label range includes compatible non-branded alternatives across a broader size selection.
Do Zebra Printers Require Zebra Branded Labels? No, Zebra printers will work with compatible third-party thermal transfer labels. However, genuine Zebra media is manufactured to the tolerances of Zebra print heads, which can be a consideration for applications requiring consistent, high-volume output. For businesses looking for a more cost-effective alternative, our standard thermal transfer label range offers compatible options at a lower price per label.
