10022964-EA | Zebra Z-Perform 2000T Topcoated Thermal Transfer Paper Label
Zebra Z-Perform 2000T is a smooth, topcoated paper label for thermal transfer printing, with a 0.5 mil permanent acrylic adhesive on a 40 lb. semi-bleached kraft liner. Zebra rates it for print speeds up to 14 inches per second and lists package labeling on corrugate, plastic, and metal, compliance labeling, food labeling, and work-in-process labeling as its applications.
Choose Zebra 10022964-EA when labels are applied at 30°F (-1°C) or warmer and used indoors. Zebra's Z-Perform 2000T All-Temp material uses a different adhesive that applies down to -20°F, for labeling inside freezers. For labels exposed to alcohol, bleach, oils, or solvents, choose a different material: Zebra rates 2000T "Not Recommended" for all of them.
