Get clean text, sharp barcodes, and clear print output that scans accurately, helping you reduce misreads, relabeling, and slowdowns on the floor.
Select perforated direct thermal label rolls that support quick tear-off, faster application, and efficient workflows at shipping stations and pack lines.
Stock the right format for your setup with 1″ core desktop direct thermal labels and 3″ core industrial direct thermal label rolls.
Maintain steady output with label rolls that unwind evenly and perform reliably from the first label to the last, minimizing waste and costly downtime.
Use these labels confidently for inventory tracking, carton labeling, shipping identification, logistics workflows, and daily operations where speed and scan accuracy matter.
Direct thermal labels help you keep labeling fast, consistent, and professional, so your team can stay efficient, and your shipments stay accurate.
Direct thermal labels are built for speed and simplicity, but the right roll still matters. To keep operations moving, your labels must feed consistently, print clearly, scan accurately, and match your printer’s core size and daily output needs. OEM Materials supplies white direct thermal labels in a wide range of sizes, including 1″ core desktop rolls and 3″ core industrial rolls, so you can choose the correct format for your shipping station, warehouse workflow, or production environment. Whether you’re printing compact barcode labels, standard carton IDs, or high-visibility shipping labels, we make it easy to select the right dimensions, roll count, and case pack to support reliable labeling without unnecessary downtime.
Smaller direct thermal labels are ideal when you need crisp barcodes in a compact format for inventory control, bins, shelves, and product identification. These sizes help maximize labels-per-roll and reduce roll changes in high-volume environments.
Mid-size direct thermal labels provide more room for readable text, larger barcodes, and internal tracking details without wasting label material. These formats are a strong fit for receiving, case labeling, and routing workflows.
Larger direct thermal labels are commonly used for shipping and logistics where scan accuracy and visibility matter. These sizes support bold barcodes, larger text, and standard shipping-style layouts.
Most direct thermal labels used in shipping and warehouse environments are perforated to support fast tear-off and quick application. Perforated rolls are a strong fit for manual handling stations where speed and efficiency matter.
Match the core size to your printer (1″ core for desktop, 3″ core for industrial)
Choose the label size based on your application (barcode, carton, shipping, or pallet)
Select perforated rolls for fast tear-off in manual workflows
Use larger formats for shipping and pallet labels where visibility matters
Pick the right labels-per-roll and rolls-per-case to match your daily volume and reduce roll changes

Direct thermal labels are commonly used for shipping labels, barcode labels, inventory tags, carton identification, and warehouse tracking. They print using heat from a direct thermal printer, so no ribbon is required. This makes them a fast and cost-effective option for high-volume operations where labels are applied and scanned quickly.
Direct thermal labels print without a ribbon and are best for short-term applications like shipping and inventory movement. Thermal transfer labels use a ribbon to create a more durable print that resists heat, abrasion, and chemicals. If you need long-lasting labels for storage or harsh environments, thermal transfer is usually the better choice.
No. Direct thermal labels do not require a ribbon because the printer uses heat to activate the coating on the label material. This simplifies printing, reduces supply costs, and speeds up label production. Direct thermal is ideal for operations that need quick printing and reliable scanning without the added step of ribbon replacement.
The core size refers to the inner cardboard tube that the label roll is wound around. A 1″ core is typically used for desktop label printers, while a 3″ core is standard for industrial printers. Choosing the correct core size ensures proper roll fit, smooth feeding, and fewer printing issues during daily use.
Yes. Perforated direct thermal labels are a strong choice for shipping stations, pick/pack lines, and manual labeling because they tear off cleanly and quickly. Perforation improves workflow speed and reduces time between labels, especially when teams are printing and applying labels continuously throughout the day.
Direct thermal labels work with many popular brands, including Zebra, Rollo, Sato, Datamax, and other direct thermal printers, as long as the core size and label dimensions match your printer requirements. If you are unsure which roll format is compatible, OEM Materials can help you select the correct option.
Direct thermal labels are best for short- to medium-term use. Because the print is heat-activated, it can fade over time or darken when exposed to heat, sunlight, or friction. For long-term labeling, outdoor exposure, or harsh environments, thermal transfer labels are usually recommended for better durability.
Start by matching the core size to your printer, then choose the label dimensions based on your application. Smaller labels work well for barcodes and inventory, while larger formats are best for shipping and pallet labels. Consider labels-per-roll and case quantity to match your volume and reduce roll changes.
