10013708 | Zebra Z-Ultimate 3000T — Polyester Thermal Transfer Labels for Durable Asset Identification
Zebra Z-Ultimate 3000T labels combine a gloss polyester facestock with a permanent, high-performance acrylic adhesive for asset, product, and component identification. This thermal transfer label material requires ribbon and is recommended with Zebra 6200, 5095, or 5100 ribbons for smear, scratch, and moderate chemical resistance.
Choose Zebra 10013708 for applications involving cleaning chemicals or service temperatures up to 302°F / 150°C after correct application and appropriate dwell time. For indoor UL labeling, the documented UL 969 solution uses Zebra 5095 or 5100 ribbon. The material is not recommended for IR reflow or exposure to acetone, MEK, TCE, or xylene.

FAQ
Can these labels be used in a direct thermal printer?
Z-Ultimate 3000T is a thermal transfer material and requires ribbon. Select a thermal transfer printer compatible with the exact label format.
Which ribbons support the documented indoor UL solution?
Zebra 5095 and 5100 ribbons are the documented combinations. The data sheet states UL 969 testing and certification and indoor UL recognition.
Can I apply the labels to a cold surface?
The environment and application surface should be above 50°F / 10°C. The lower service temperature applies after correct application and appropriate dwell time.
Are the labels suitable for gasoline, grease, or oil exposure?
Zebra recommends buyers to test these exposures in their application. Do not assume resistance from the moderate chemical recommendations.
Are these labels appropriate for PCB reflow?
The data sheet recommends top-side PCB labeling but specifically lists IR reflow as not recommended.
Are 05612RM and 05272RM finished-label SKUs?
They are raw material identifiers for white and silver material. Confirm the orderable SKU for the required label dimensions and packaging.
