Direct Thermal Label 100x100mm (DTL)
The 100x100mm (4" × 4") direct thermal label is a ribbon-free shipping and logistics label used for dispatch, carton contents, and freight barcoding. Heat printing keeps per-label cost low for high-volume outbound labeling, and it runs on every 4-inch desktop and industrial direct thermal printer in rolls of 250 or 500.

Frequently Asked Questions
When should I choose direct thermal 100x100 over thermal transfer?
Choose direct thermal for short-life shipping and carton labels used within months. It needs no ribbon and costs less. Choose thermal transfer (TTL) when the label must stay readable for years or faces heat and abrasion.
What core size do 100x100 direct thermal rolls come on?
Desktop printers (TSC TE244, Zebra ZD420) take 1" core rolls of ~250 labels; industrial printers (Zebra ZT230, TSC TTP-346) take 3" core rolls of 500+.
