Zebra Z-Perform 1000T 880020-050 is a box of 6 rolls of 83 x 51 mm matte white uncoated paper labels — 2,740 labels per roll, 16,440 in total — for Zebra industrial and mid-range printers that take 76 mm-core rolls (ZT200, ZT400, ZT600 and Xi series). Zebra’s economy thermal-transfer paper: a plain, uncoated face that prints sharp barcodes with a wax ribbon at a low cost per label.
Each label is 83 x 51 mm. The roll format matters as much as the material: industrial rolls are sized to the printer’s media compartment, so matching core and roll diameter to your printer is the first check before ordering. Thermal transfer printing melts ink from a ribbon onto the label, so the printed image is far more durable than direct thermal and does not fade in light or heat.
Choose Z-Perform 1000T when cost per label matters and the labels stay indoors and dry. If you print very small text or 2D codes, or labels meet moisture and handling, the topcoated Z-Select 2000T is the step up; if you would rather not stock ribbons at all and labels only need to last weeks, a direct thermal Z-Perform 1000D does the job.
Before you order: These are thermal transfer labels — your printer must have a ribbon fitted (Zebra recommends its 2300 and 2100 ribbons). Direct-thermal-only models will not print on them. The roll is wound on a 76 mm (3") core for industrial printers and will not fit desktop printers built for 25 mm cores.
What's in the Box
- 6 rolls × 2,740 labels (16,440 labels in total)
- 83 x 51 mm labels, matte white uncoated paper, on a 62 gsm glassine liner
- Rolls wound on a 76 mm (3") core
- No ribbon included — order it separately
- No printer, spindle adapter or software
What It Means in Practice
- Product identification and barcode labels for boxes and cartons
- Asset tags, bin and location labels
- Short address or content labels
- Pair it with the recommended ribbon and print at your printer’s normal darkness — no special settings beyond selecting thermal transfer mode
- Expected lifespan on the item: indoor use, 1 year+
What Will Not Work
- Direct-thermal-only printers (models with a "d" suffix such as ZD421d or ZD411d) — they cannot use a ribbon
- Desktop printers with 25 mm spindles and 127 mm roll compartments — the 76 mm core and 200 mm roll will not fit
- 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

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 runs thermal transfer and has the right ribbon, that it takes a 76 mm core, and that its print width covers 83 mm. For other sizes, materials and ribbons, browse our
labels and receipt rolls range.
✓ Buy it if you run a industrial Zebra printer with a ribbon and need 83 x 51 mm labels that last.
✕ Skip it if your printer is direct-thermal-only, or you use a desktop printer.
→ Also consider the matching Zebra ribbon in the right width and length for your printer.
