10023219 | Zebra Z-Supreme 3000T — Matte Polyimide Thermal Transfer Labels for Wave Solder and 572°F Applications
Zebra Z-Supreme 3000T is a thermal transfer label built for high-temperature environments. It combines a 2.2 mil white matte coated polyimide facestock with a 1.2 mil high-temp permanent acrylic adhesive on a 3.0 mil kraft liner. The label withstands 572°F for up to 5 minutes and holds a continuous service range of -40°F to 356°F after application.
When printed with Zebra 5100 resin ribbon, the 3000T delivers smear- and scratch-resistant barcodes and text that stay legible through extreme heat, fuels, oils, and common cleaning chemicals. That pairing is UL-recognized, compatible with RoHS-compliant processes, and BPA and latex free. Its matte face gives a low-glare print surface for barcode scanning on finished parts.
Zebra designed the 3000T for wave solder processes in printed circuit board manufacturing and for other high-temperature industrial applications. Typical uses include top- and bottom-side PCB labels that travel through wave soldering, serial and product identification labels on heat-exposed components, automotive part labels, and UL-recognized labels for electronics and electrical equipment.

Applications & Use Cases for Z-Supreme 3000T Polyimide Labels
- Wave solder PCB labeling: Top- and bottom-side board labels applied before wave soldering.
- Extreme high-temperature applications: Parts exposed to temperatures up to 572°F for short periods.
- Automotive part labeling: Component labels that see heat, fuel, oil, and grease.
- Product identification: Serial numbers and barcodes on heat-processed products.
- Electronics and electrical equipment: UL-recognized labels for regulated products.
Printer, Ribbon & Ordering Guidance for the Z-Supreme 3000T
The 3000T requires a thermal transfer printer and resin ribbon. Zebra suggests its 5100 resin ribbon, which is the basis for both the UL recognition and the chemical ratings. Use Zebra mid-range or high-performance thermal transfer printers for optimal results.
The 3000T is not recommended for IR reflow. For reflow processes, review the Z-Supreme 2100T instead. Apply labels at 50°F or above and allow about 24 hours of dwell time. Confirm size, core, and format against the exact sku.
