Zebra Z-Band UltraSoft Adult Direct Thermal Wristbands, 25 x 279 mm, 1050 Bands, Adhesive Closure, for HC100, White / Red
Adult 25 x 279 mmWhite / RedDirect thermalFor HC100 / ZD510-HC
The Zebra Z-Band UltraSoft 10015355-RK is an adult patient wristband, 25 x 279 mm (1 x 11 in), white / red, supplied as 6 cartridges (1,050 bands (6 x 175)) for the Zebra HC100 and ZD510-HC wristband printers — a soft, direct thermal ID band with an adhesive closure.
UltraSoft is Zebra's most comfortable band: a soft polypropylene face with a silver antimicrobial coating, print that resists hand sanitisers, and text and barcodes that stay readable and scannable for up to 14 days. The coloured version lets wards flag alerts or departments at a glance.
Before you order: The cartridges load into the Zebra HC100 and ZD510-HC wristband printers. Colour meanings (allergy, fall risk, etc.) follow your hospital policy, not Zebra's.
What's in the Box
- 6 Z-Band UltraSoft wristband cartridges — 6 cartridges, 1,050 bands (6 x 175)
- Adult size 25 x 279 mm (1 x 11 in), white / red

What It Means in Practice
- You get Zebra's softest patient wristband, with a silver antimicrobial coating and print that resists hand sanitisers.
- No ribbon to buy or change — the printer images the label directly, which keeps running cost and maintenance down.
- Check that your printer accepts the label width (25 mm) and the roll core and outer diameter before ordering.
- Typical uses: patient identification in hospitals and clinics.
What Will Not Work
- Infants and small children need the shorter 152 mm or 178 mm UltraSoft sizes.
- Wristbands for patient ID printers only — they will not feed through standard label printers as normal label rolls.
- Not recommended for exposure to window cleaner, ammonia or bleach.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does the band last?
Zebra rates UltraSoft text and barcodes as readable and scannable for up to 14 days of wear.
Do I need a ribbon?

Will it fit my printer?
Check the maximum media width, the core diameter your spindle takes and the maximum roll diameter. Send us the printer model and we will confirm before you order.
