Are the Zebra SAM5178 labels suitable for outdoor use?
Yes, the Zebra SAM5178 labels are designed for outdoor applications with a rated durability of 1-2 years in outdoor conditions. The Kimdura polypropylene material resists fading, moisture, and UV exposure, making these labels ideal for asset tracking and logistics operations exposed to the elements. We offer these as a reliable solution for outdoor labeling needs.
What printing technology do these labels require?
The Zebra SAM5178 labels are thermal transfer labels, meaning they require a thermal transfer printer to produce high-quality, durable prints. Thermal transfer printing uses heat to transfer ink from a ribbon onto the label surface, creating permanent, smudge-resistant barcodes and text.

What are the dimensions and core size of this label roll?
The Zebra SAM5178 labels measure 2x1 inches (50.8x25.4mm) per label and come on a 3-inch (76.2mm) core. This size is commonly used for product labeling, asset tracking, and barcode applications in warehouses and distribution centers. We offer sample rolls so you can test compatibility with your printer before ordering in bulk.
Can these labels adhere to curved or irregular surfaces?
Yes, the permanent acrylic adhesive on the Zebra SAM5178 labels offers flexibility for labeling curved surfaces, which is particularly useful for cylindrical containers and irregularly shaped items. The Kimdura polypropylene backing combined with the flexible adhesive ensures strong adhesion without cracking or peeling on non-flat surfaces.
