Zebra Z-Select 2000D 57 x 51 mm Labels for Zebra desktop ZD / G-Series Printers
Direct thermal57 x 51 mm25 mm core12 rolls per box
The Zebra Z-Select 2000D 57 x 51 mm (800262-205) is a premium coated direct thermal paper label on a 25 mm core for Zebra desktop printers, packed 12 rolls to a box with 1370 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, so each one tears off cleanly.
Before you order: This is a 25 mm core desktop roll of approx. 127 mm outer diameter. Industrial ZT printers need 76 mm cores, and mobile printers take much smaller rolls.
What's in the Box
- 12 rolls of Zebra Z-Select 2000D 57 x 51 mm labels — 1370 labels per roll
- 25 mm core, approx. 127 mm roll outer diameter
- No ribbon required — direct thermal media
What It Means in Practice
- 57 x 51 mm is a near-square label — good for product, sample and shelf labels with a barcode and short text.
- 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 12 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 desktop printers listed in the specifications — 25 mm core, approx. 127 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.
