The Zebra Z-Select 4000D is a direct thermal, bright white, coated paper label for printing high-contrast, black, visible light images in cold temperature applications. Not recommended for applications involving exposure to sunlight or extreme heat.
Zebra SAM5176 Labels Overview
A direct thermal, bright white, coated paper label for printing high-contrast, black, visible light images in cold temperature applications. It has a special acrylicbased cold temperature adhesive that survives at temperatures as low as -65º F and applied at temperatures as low as -20º F. Ideal for use with freezer-grade materials. Not recommended for applications involving exposure to sunlight or extreme heat.
What are the key specifications of the Zebra SAM5176 Z-Select 4000D labels?
The Zebra Z-Select 4000D labels are 4x6" (101.6x152.4mm) direct thermal paper labels with a bright white, high-performance coated surface designed for high-contrast black image printing. They feature all-temperature adhesive, come on a 3" (76.2mm) core, and are optimized for cold temperature applications where visibility and durability matter most.
What printing technology do these Zebra labels use?
These labels use direct thermal printing technology, which means they require a compatible direct thermal printer and do not need thermal transfer ribbons. Direct thermal printing is ideal for applications requiring fast, cost-effective label production without additional consumables, making it popular in warehouse and logistics environments.
Are Zebra Z-Select 4000D labels suitable for outdoor or high-temperature environments?
No, these labels are not recommended for applications involving exposure to sunlight or extreme heat. They are specifically designed for cold temperature applications where protected indoor storage and handling conditions are maintained. For outdoor or high-heat applications, alternative label materials would be required.
What adhesive type do these labels have and why does it matter?
The Zebra Z-Select 4000D labels feature all-temperature adhesive, which provides reliable label adhesion across a wide range of environmental conditions without losing effectiveness in cold storage or moderate temperature fluctuations. This makes them ideal for warehouse, refrigerated shipping, and logistics applications where temperature consistency cannot be guaranteed.
What is the core size of these label rolls and how does it affect printer compatibility?
These labels come on a 3" (76.2mm) core, which is a standard size compatible with most commercial and industrial direct thermal printers available from us. The core size affects how the roll loads into your printer, so verify your printer's core specifications before ordering to ensure proper fit and operation.
Why choose coated paper labels over uncoated options?
The high-performance coated surface of Z-Select 4000D labels provides superior print quality, sharper image contrast, and better durability against smudging and wear compared to uncoated alternatives. The coating also enhances readability for barcodes and text in warehouse scanning operations, making them ideal for high-volume labeling environments where image clarity is critical.
The Zebra SAM5176 Labels is also known as
ZEB-SAM5176
or SAM5176.
