Description

Zebra GK420 series Thermal Labels 4×6 are a real substitute for name-brand printers; 3REE LABELS offers substantial savings while delivering high-quality printing.

Zebra uses direct thermal printing, which embeds the ink directly on the label. This eliminates the need for messy ink and toner cartridges and copier jams.

Direct Thermal Labels 4×6 vs. Thermal Transfer Labels:

Both direct thermal and thermal transfer labels have their advantages. The table below compares their features:

FeatureDirect Thermal Labels 4×6Thermal Transfer Labels
Printing MethodIt uses heat-sensitive paper that darkens when heatedIt uses a ribbon to transfer ink onto the label
DurabilityFades over time with heat & light exposureLong-lasting and resistant to fading
CostLower upfront costSlightly higher due to the ribbon requirement
Best ForShort-term applications like shipping labelsLong-term use like asset tracking and product labeling

Recommendation: For short-term shipping labels, use direct thermal labels 4×6.

FAQs

What are Thermal Labels 4x6 and what size are they exactly?
Thermal Labels 4x6 are shipping/parcel labels that are 4 inches by 6 inches (101.6 by 152.4 mm). In-house thermal printers use them and are available as either direct thermal (heat-activated coating) or thermal transfer (needs a ribbon) media. 4×6 is the conventional size of courier and e-commerce shipping labels, since it fits on most carrier templates and label-roll dispensers.
Which printers work with Thermal Labels 4x6?
Generally any desktop thermal label printer that accepts 4x6 media will be compatible with it - such as the Zebra GK/GC/LP series, Brother QL series, and much of the TSC and Honeywell offerings. Adjust your printer media width and sensor type (gap, black mark, or continuous), and change the size of the label in the driver to 4 x 6. When you are using thermal transfer labels, you must be using the proper ribbon type and width.
Do direct thermal 4x6 labels fade or smudge — are they waterproof?
Direct thermal 4X6 labels are easy and inexpensive but sensitive to heat, sunlight, and oils - can darken/fade with age and are not naturally waterproof. When you require water- or abrasion-resistant labels (when the packages are to be left outside or stored long-term), 1. either use a thermal transfer label with a resin ribbon, or 2. apply a topcoat/laminate. Direct thermal is typically acceptable as long as the shipping label is short-term.
How many 4x6 thermal labels come on a roll and what core size should I pick?
Roll counts are dependent on the supplier and the roll core. Typical roll counts are 250, 500 or 1000 labels per roll; however, always refer to the product listing. Check the roll core diameter (usually 25 mm or 38 mm) and roll outer diameter as well to ensure the roll will fit your spindle with your printer. It is better to purchase per roll length (meters) or number of labels per roll to avoid issues with compatibility.
Which adhesive type should I choose for 4x6 thermal labels?
Select according to the use: permanent adhesive to stick labels onto a parcel; removable in case the labels need to be removed in an unmarked manner; freezer-grade adhesive to stick labels onto a frozen item; high-tack adhesive to stick to rough or corrugated cardboard. Tack and temperature ratings are given on many suppliers lists - standard shipping, using permanent, freezer, or high-tack.
How do I get crisp barcodes and the best print quality on 4x6 thermal labels?
Sharp barcodes: Adjust the printer label size and speed/darkness appropriately, choose good-quality label material (smooth face material when printing direct thermal or thermal transfer material), and align sensors. Test-print and scan barcodes prior to complete runs, too - a minute adjustment to darkness or speed will often correct low read rates.
