These 3 x 1 inch red direct thermal labels use a heat-sensitive coating that activates directly at the printhead, eliminating the need for a thermal transfer ribbon. The result is a low-maintenance print process well suited to high-throughput labeling environments where speed and operational simplicity are priorities.

Red stock makes these labels a practical choice for color-coded systems in warehouses, distribution centers, manufacturing floors, and fulfillment operations. Common applications include routing labels, priority flagging, hazard identification, date coding, and cross-department SKU differentiation. The coating produces sharp, high-density output for barcodes, sequential numbering, and variable data.

Labels are compatible with standard direct thermal printers from Zebra, Datamax, Sato, and other major brands. Each case contains 5,000 labels. For operations requiring additional color options, these labels are also available in orange, yellow, green, and blue.
