100×50mm Direct Thermal Labels – Barcode, Product & Warehouse Labels

00×50mm direct thermal labels are a versatile medium-size label commonly used for barcode printing, product identification, inventory control, warehouse operations and logistics.

Direct thermal labels print without a ribbon. Heat from the thermal printer creates the image directly on the label surface, making them convenient for businesses that need fast, economical barcode and identification printing.

The 100×50mm format provides enough room for a barcode together with product names, SKU numbers, quantities, dates or other stock information while remaining more compact than larger shipping-label formats.

Ideal Applications

Suitable for barcode labels, warehouse stock identification, carton labels, inventory labels, SKU labels, product labels, logistics labels, dispatch labels, manufacturing identification and general business labelling.

Why Choose 100×50mm?

The 100mm width provides good space for wide barcodes and product information, while the 50mm height keeps the label economical and compact.

This makes 100×50mm particularly useful where a 100×150mm shipping label is too large, but smaller barcode labels do not provide enough space.

Direct Thermal – No Ribbon Required

These labels are manufactured from heat-sensitive direct thermal material.

A compatible direct thermal printer applies heat directly to the label surface, so no thermal transfer ribbon is required.

Direct thermal is particularly suitable for short to medium-term applications such as dispatch, warehouse movement, inventory and product identification.

Barcode Printing

100×50mm labels can be used for common barcode formats including 1D barcodes, QR codes and other machine-readable identification.

For reliable scanning, ensure the printer is correctly adjusted for print darkness, speed and label size.

Choosing the Correct Roll

Before ordering, customers should check their printer's supported label width, core diameter, maximum roll diameter and media sensing requirements.
