Zebra Z-Select 2000D 101.6 x 50.8 mm Labels for Zebra ZQ500/ZQ600 mobile Printers
Direct thermal101.6 x 50.8 mm19 mm core16 rolls per box
The Zebra Z-Select 2000D 101.6 x 50.8 mm (3003076) is a premium coated direct thermal paper label on a 19 mm core for Zebra mobile printers, packed 16 rolls to a box with 300 labels per roll. Zebra recommends it for shelf-edge and price labelling, chiller and freezer applications, product identification, healthcare sample labelling and warehouse shipping, picking, box and pallet labels.
Z-Select materials carry a protective topcoat that gives sharper print definition, faster print speeds, better printhead life and resistance to moisture, oils and other environmental factors than uncoated Z-Perform paper. The rolls are perforated between labels and carry a black mark for sensing, so each one tears off cleanly.
Before you order: This is a 19 mm core mobile roll (approx. 62 mm outer diameter) for 4-inch Zebra ZQ mobile printers. It will not suit 2- or 3-inch mobile printers or desktop and industrial printers.
What's in the Box
- 16 rolls of Zebra Z-Select 2000D 101.6 x 50.8 mm labels — 300 labels per roll
- 19 mm core, approx. 62 mm roll outer diameter
- No ribbon required — direct thermal media
What It Means in Practice
- 101.6 x 50.8 mm (4 x 2 inch) is a common mobile label for shelf edges, price changes, parcel IDs and route delivery labels.
- The permanent rubber-based adhesive keeps grip in chillers and freezers, where Zebra rates the adhesive for excellent low-temperature resistance.
- Coated direct thermal paper is the better choice where labels get handled, chilled or wiped — the topcoat protects the image and the barcode stays scannable.
- Direct thermal: the image is formed by heat on the heat-sensitive face — no ribbon to buy or change, ideal for shipping and short-life labels.
- Buying 16 rolls per box keeps a spare roll next to the printer and lowers the cost per label.
What Will Not Work
- Thermal transfer-only printers or ribbon mode — this is heat-sensitive direct thermal media
- Long-term sunlight or extreme heat exposure — direct thermal paper darkens or fades, and Zebra does not recommend it there

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a ribbon?
No. This is direct thermal media, so the printer needs no ribbon. Make sure the printer is set to direct thermal mode.
Will it fit my printer?
It fits the Zebra mobile printers listed in the specifications — 19 mm core, approx. 62 mm roll. If your model is not listed, send us the model and we will check width, core and roll size.
Z-Select 2000D or Z-Perform 1000D?
Z-Select 2000D is the coated grade: sharper print, better printhead life and more resistance to moisture and oils. Z-Perform 1000D is uncoated and cheaper for short-life indoor labels.
