Zebra Thermalock 4000D - Outdoor Direct Thermal Labels
Zebra Thermalock 4000D Label - The Outdoor Direct Thermal Label
Designed specifically for high temperatures and extreme applications, this new label technology boasts exceptional durability in all applications and is a great cost effective option over other regular direct thermal materials.
The Zebra Thermalock 4000D has a carbon layer on the side of the face sheet and when the printhead hits the material there are little packets, like bubble wrap, that disappear causing the black carbon layer to appear. And, it is this design that provides the Zebra Thermalock 4000D label with its extreme durability qualities. It is the changing of the composition of the label itself, which is technically a permanent change, and not a chemical change, that makes it less susceptible to the environment and thus more durable.
Unlike regular direct thermal labels, the Zebra Thermalock 4000D label is very resistant against UV lights and florescent lights. With direct thermal, fading is an issue over time, but the Zebra Thermalock 4000D label won’t.
As for cost comparisons, it is more costly than regular direct thermal labels. but you are paying for the premium capabilities and benefits of its longer life. It is less costly than other premium speciality materials.
