Zebra Z-Select 2000D Direct Thermal Labels 76.2 x 101.6 mm
Direct Thermal76.2 x 101.6 mm18 rolls per box35 mm core
The Zebra Z-Select 2000D 3002086 is a premium direct thermal matte paper label with a protective topcoat and a general-purpose permanent adhesive with excellent low-temperature resistance, supplied as 18 rolls of 76.2 x 101.6 mm white labels for Zebra mobile printers. It suits route-accounting, delivery and field-service labels, chilled goods and shelf labels.
Because it is direct thermal, the image is created by the printhead on heat-sensitive paper: there is no ribbon to buy, load or change. The topcoat gives sharper print, faster print speeds, longer printhead life and better resistance to moisture and oils than uncoated direct thermal paper; Zebra still does not recommend it for long-term sunlight or extreme heat.
Before you order: This is a mobile-printer roll on a 35 mm core. Zebra lists it only for the mobile models in the compatibility row below; check your exact model before ordering.
What's in the Box
- 18 rolls of Zebra Z-Select 2000D 76.2 x 101.6 mm white paper labels
- Each roll wound on a 35 mm core
- No ribbon needed: direct thermal media
- No printer, cables or label design software
What It Means in Practice
- Load and print: set the printer media type to direct thermal and run a media calibration after the first roll change.
- Label size 76.2 x 101.6 mm (width x length). Your label template must use the same size or the printer will print across label gaps.
- Sensing: perforation and black mark. Set the printer to the matching sensor mode (gap/notch or black mark) if labels skip.
- Typical jobs: route-accounting, delivery and field-service labels, chilled goods and shelf labels.
- Direct thermal prints darken if left in sunlight or near heat, so this is the right choice for labels with a life of weeks or months, not years outdoors.
What Will Not Work
- Desktop or industrial Zebra printers: Zebra lists this roll for the mobile models below only.
- Temporary or repositionable labelling: the adhesive is permanent and will tear or leave residue if removed.
- Long-term sunlight or extreme heat: direct thermal paper will darken even with the topcoat.
Key Features
Topcoated premium paper
The protective topcoat improves print definition, allows faster print speeds, extends printhead life and resists moisture and oils better than uncoated paper.
Permanent adhesive
Permanent (general purpose), excellent low-temperature resistance. Adhesive complies with EC 1935/2004, EU 10/2011 and BfR XXI for dry and moist non-fatty foodstuffs, and FDA 175.105 for dry foodstuffs.
No ribbon to manage
Direct thermal printing removes ribbon cost and ribbon changes, which is why it is the standard for shipping and mobile labels.
Zebra certified supply
Made and tested by Zebra for its printers, so the sensor, core and roll diameter match the printer specification.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a ribbon?
No. This is direct thermal paper, so the printer creates the image on the label itself. Make sure the printer is set to direct thermal mode.
Will it fit my printer?
Zebra lists it for Zebra QLn320 (incl. Healthcare), QLn420, P4T, ZQ620 (incl. HC) and ZQ630. If your model is not on that list, send it to us and we will check core size, maximum roll diameter and print method.
What is the difference between Z-Perform and Z-Select?
Z-Perform is Zebra's economy uncoated paper; Z-Select adds a protective topcoat for sharper print, faster speeds, longer printhead life and better resistance to moisture and oils.
How many labels are on each roll?
Zebra's supplies store does not publish the label count for this part. Ask us and we will confirm the count per roll before you order.
Singular Expert Insight · Buyer's Guide
The Z-Select 2000D 76.2 x 101.6 mm is the step up from economy paper when print sharpness and handling matter. The two things to get right are the print method (direct thermal: no ribbon) and the 35 mm core for your mobile printer. See our
full labels range for other sizes and materials.
✓ Buy it if you run Zebra mobile printers and print 76.2 x 101.6 mm direct thermal labels for route-accounting.
✕ Skip it if your labels must last years, go outdoors or sit near heat — choose thermal transfer media with a ribbon instead.
→ Also consider Zebra Z-Perform 1000D uncoated labels for short-life indoor labels where cost per label matters most.
