10011988 | Zebra PolyPro 3000T — Matte Thermal Transfer Labels for Packages, Test Tubes and Food Packaging
Zebra PolyPro 3000T is a thermal transfer label with a Matte topcoated polypropylene face and a Permanent Acrylic adhesive. The polypropylene face gives it excellent conformability to tight diameters, so it wraps cleanly around vials, tubes, and other curved surfaces where stiffer labels lift at the edges.
Printed with Zebra 6100, 3200, or 6200 ribbons, the 3000T produces print with good smear and scratch resistance. After application it holds a service range of -65°F to 200°F, and it meets FDA 175.105 for indirect food contact. The matte topcoat provides a low-glare surface for barcode scanning.
Zebra recommends the 3000T for package labeling on corrugate, plastic, and metal, for test tube labeling, and for indirect food labeling. It suits warehouses, laboratories, and food operations that need a durable synthetic label that conforms to curved and irregular surfaces.

PolyPro 3000T Ribbon, Printer & Ordering Guidance
The 3000T requires a thermal transfer printer and ribbon. Zebra suggests its 6100, 3200, and 6200 ribbons. Apply labels at 45°F or above; for labeling in freezers or cold rooms, consider a label rated for colder application, such as the PolyPro 4000D.
Expected exterior life is 6 months, so the 3000T is best suited to indoor and short-term outdoor use. Store unused labels at 72°F and 50% RH, and confirm size, core, and format against the exact sku before ordering.
