Zebra Z-Perform 1000D 880595-025DU is a box of 12 rolls of 38 x 25 mm matte white uncoated direct thermal paper labels — 2,580 labels per roll, 30,960 in total — for Zebra desktop printers that take 25 mm-core rolls (e.g. ZD421, ZD621, GK/GX series). Zebra’s economy direct thermal paper: no ribbon to buy or change, ideal for labels that live days or weeks rather than years.
Each label is 38 x 25 mm. The roll format matters as much as the material: desktop rolls are sized to the printer’s media compartment, so matching core and roll diameter to your printer is the first check before ordering. Direct thermal printing darkens the heat-sensitive face itself, so there is no ribbon to stock, but the image will fade with time, heat and sunlight.
Choose Z-Perform 1000D for shipping, picking and short-life product labels where you want the simplest possible printing — no ribbon. Where labels are handled a lot, get damp or need sharper fine print, the topcoated Z-Select 2000D lasts better; where they must survive longer than a year, heat or sunlight, move to a thermal transfer label such as Z-Perform 1000T with a ribbon.
Before you order: These are direct thermal labels — no ribbon. They print on any Zebra thermal printer running in direct thermal mode; if a ribbon is loaded, switch the media setting to direct thermal. The roll is wound on a 25 mm (1") core for desktop printers.
What's in the Box
- 12 rolls × 2,580 labels (30,960 labels in total)
- 38 x 25 mm labels, matte white uncoated direct thermal paper, on a 57 gsm glassine liner
- Rolls wound on a 25 mm (1") core

What It Means in Practice
- Shelf-edge, price and small item labels
- Product and asset barcodes where space is limited
- Work-in-progress and bin labels
- Load and print — set the printer to direct thermal mode; nothing else to buy or change
- Expected lifespan on the item: indoor use, up to 1 year
What Will Not Work
- Long-life labels exposed to sunlight, heat or solvents — direct thermal images fade; use a thermal transfer label instead
- Industrial printers expecting 76 mm cores without a core adapter
- Laser or inkjet office printers — this is thermal printer media only
- Wet, oily or outdoor environments — uncoated paper absorbs moisture; choose a coated or synthetic label

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a ribbon?
No. Direct thermal labels image by heat alone. If your printer has a ribbon loaded, set it to direct thermal mode before printing.
Will this roll fit my printer?
It is a desktop roll on a 25 mm (1") core. It suits Zebra desktop printers that take 25 mm-core rolls (e.g. ZD421, ZD621, GK/GX series). Send us your printer model and we will confirm before you order.
How many labels do I get?
2,580 labels on each of 12 rolls — 30,960 labels per box.
How should I store unused rolls?
Keep them in the box at 20–25 °C, 40–50% RH — Zebra quotes a storage life of 6 months before use. Heat and light pre-darken direct thermal paper, so avoid warm or sunny stock rooms.
Singular Expert Insight · Buyer's Guide
Labels are bought by the box, so the expensive mistake is the wrong roll format rather than the wrong material. Check three things before ordering: that your printer can run direct thermal, that it takes a 25 mm core, and that its print width covers 38 mm. For other sizes, materials and ribbons, browse our
labels and receipt rolls range.
✓ Buy it if you run a desktop Zebra printer and need 38 x 25 mm labels for short-life labelling.
✕ Skip it if labels must survive heat, sunlight or more than a year, or you need large industrial rolls.
→ Also consider a thermal transfer label if your labels must last longer than a year.
Not sure it fits? Send us your printer model and the label you print today, and we will match size, core and ribbon before you order.
