What Labels Should I Use With Zebra Chem Resist Ribbons?

Synthetic Labels such as polyesters that require high durability are idea for the new Chem Resist ribbons. These labels would include the Zebra Z-xtreme series which are thermal transfer, white, matte or gloss polypropylene labels with a permanent high-tack adhesive. The temperature rating is as low as -40° F and can be applied at temperatures as low as 50. They can withstand applications requiring up to 2 years outdoors. UL/cUL indoor/outdoor recognition and CSA indoor/outdoor recognition when paired with compatible Zebra ribbons. Contact for samples, data sheets or more info.
