10017577 | Zebra PolyPro 4000D Labels — Direct Thermal Polypropylene Labels for Cold Storage, Food Packaging and Reusable Totes
Zebra PolyPro 4000D is a direct thermal label made from matte polypropylene with a All-Temp Permanent Acrylic adhesive on a 40 lb. kraft liner. Because it is direct thermal, it prints without a ribbon on Zebra desktop, industrial, and mobile direct thermal printers, which keeps supply costs and printer setup simple.
The polypropylene face does not break down when exposed to moisture and resists tearing, giving more durability than paper at an economical price. The all-temp adhesive can be applied to surfaces as cold as -40°F and stays adhered from -65°F to 131°F after dwell, while meeting FDA 175.105 for indirect food contact. The label is suitable for fan-folding.
Zebra recommends the 4000D for warehousing and food operations, including cold storage labeling, package labeling, and indirect food labeling on shrink wrap and other packaging. Its tear resistance also suits reusable totes, crates, and shelving, where the entire label needs to come off in one piece before a new one goes on.
