10012148 | Zebra 8000D Lab Label — Direct Thermal Paper Label with High-Tack Adhesive for Curved Lab Containers
Zebra 8000D Lab is a white, smooth, topcoated direct thermal paper label with a 0.7 mil high-tack permanent acrylic adhesive on a 40 lb. semi-bleached kraft liner. Zebra built it for specimen collection. Its mandrel hold keeps labels from lifting on curved test tubes, vials, and syringes, and the adhesive is glove-friendly for fast application.
Because it is direct thermal, 8000D Lab prints without a ribbon. Apply it at 32°F (0°C) or warmer; once set, it holds from -75°F to 120°F (-59°C to 49°C). Zebra rates it "Not Recommended" for alcohol, IPA, bleach, and ammonia, so containers wiped with those disinfectants need a more chemical-resistant material.
8000D Lab Features for Specimen Tube and Vial Labeling
- High peel adhesion on lab plastics: Adhesion reaches 52 oz./in. on polyethylene after 5 minutes and 62 oz./in. after 24 hours, so labels stay put on small-diameter containers.
- Mandrel hold for curved surfaces: Zebra built the adhesive to resist flagging on test tubes, vials, and syringes.
- Glove-friendly application: Technicians can peel and apply labels while wearing gloves.
- Cold storage after application: The -75°F (-59°C) lower service limit covers freezer storage of labeled specimens.
- Ribbon-free printing: Direct thermal imaging means no ribbon to buy, load, or change at collection stations.
- Compliance: UL approved, compatible with RoHS compliant processes, FDA 175.105 for indirect food contact, and BPA and latex free.
