101mm x 152mm Direct Thermal Dispatch Labels | 475 Per Roll (Box of 12 Rolls)

Improve your packing bench and fulfillment operations with our industry-standard 101mm x 152mm (4" x 6") direct thermal dispatch labels. Designed specifically for everyday commercial use, these labels offer a reliable and crisp printing surface for courier barcodes, transit data, and address details.

As direct thermal paper labels, they utilise heat-sensitive technology to generate sharp text and scannable barcodes without the need for ink, toner, or expensive thermal ribbons. Each box contains 12 rolls, with each individual roll holding 475 labels wound on a standard 25mm (1 inch) core. This configuration makes them fully compatible with most standard desktop label printers, allowing for swift roll changes and minimal machine downtime during high-volume shipping windows.

Equipped with a high-tack permanent adhesive, these labels adhere reliably to standard corrugated cardboard boxes, mailing bags, and stretch wrap, reducing the risk of lost or delayed parcels caused by peeling paperwork.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Do these labels require an ink ribbon to print? No. These are direct thermal labels manufactured with a heat-sensitive coating. When used inside a direct thermal printer, the printhead applies heat directly to the paper to create the text and barcodes. No ink, toner, or ribbon is required.

Will these rolls fit my desktop printer? Yes, provided your desktop printer supports a 25mm (1 inch) core and a maximum media width of at least 102mm. These rolls are highly compatible with industry-standard desktop machines like the Zebra GK420d, ZD421, ZD220, as well as desktop models from Citizen, TSC, Brother, and Bixolon. They are not suitable for large industrial printers requiring a 76mm core.

Are these labels compatible with Royal Mail Click & Drop? Yes. The 101mm x 152mm (4" x 6") specification is the standard size required by Royal Mail for their domestic and international shipping labels, ensuring all barcodes scan cleanly at the sorting office.

What is the benefit of a permanent adhesive? Our labels feature a high-tack permanent acrylic adhesive. Once applied to clean cardboard, paper, or plastic mailing bags, the bond strengthens over time. This prevents the label from peeling off during transit, protecting your parcels from getting lost in delivery networks.

How should I store these thermal labels to prevent fading? Because direct thermal paper is heat-sensitive, unused rolls should be stored inside their original box in a cool, dry, and dark environment. Avoid exposing the labels to direct sunlight, high humidity, or temperatures above 25°C for extended periods.
