What is the mil of the label material itself? Without backer. Thanks.

The Standard White Direct Thermal (DT) material has a facstock thickness of 3.4 mil +/- 10%.

What machine do you use to print on these labels? Do you need ribbon?

The RL783 features 4" x 3" labels on a 1" core with a 4" outer diameter and 0.125" spacing between labels. This product can be ordered in direct thermal and thermal transfer (ribbon required) materials. We've successfully tested with Zebra brand printer models. But if using a different brand printer, you'll want to check the printer's specifications to ensure it can take a roll this size and offers gap sensing. If you’d like assistance in determining your printer's requirements, please contact our Customer Support Team by submitting a support ticket: https://secure.onlinelabels.com/Support/SupportRequest.aspx

does this work well in -20 degrees Fahrenheit temps

The Weatherproof Direct Thermal (DW) material can be applied to a surface with a temperature as low as -8°F. Once applied it can withstand temperatures from -65°F to 147°F.

Can you use these in zebra printers?

RL783DT is a 4" x 3" direct thermal label on a 1" Core with a 4" outer diameter. As long as the Zebra printer model you are using is direct thermal and allows for these specifications, it should work well. If you'd like to verify the compatibility, please contact Customer Support at 888-575-2235 with your printer model.

Do these labels hold the print in the sun? We have products sit out in the sun and labels fade. How well would these hold up to that?

Our Weatherproof Direct Thermal (DW) is a very durable, water resistant material recommended for short term use. The plastic film material will ensure durability in direct contact with moisture, but if the printed labels are exposed consistently to direct light, heat, or chemicals the label will darken over time. If you have access to a thermal transfer printer, you may want to consider the Weatherproof Thermal Transfer (TW) material. This is ideal for long term use and would be a more durable option.
