Labels & Ribbons for the Zebra ZT111 and ZT231

The Zebra ZT111 and ZT231 take labels 19mm to 114mm wide, in rolls up to 203mm across on a 76mm core, and 450m ribbons from 51mm to 110mm wide. Here's exactly what fits, and what to buy.

Labels that fit the ZT111 and ZT231

Specification ZT111 / ZT231
Label width (including liner) 19.4mm to 114mm (maximum print width 104mm)
Roll size Up to 203mm across on a 76mm core, or up to 152mm across on a 25mm core
Label thickness 0.076mm to 0.25mm
Label types Continuous, die-cut, notch and black mark

These are industrial printers, so they take the large 76mm-core rolls that desktop printers can't. A bigger roll means fewer roll changes on a busy line.

Specification ZT111 / ZT231

Common questions

What's the difference between the ZT111 and ZT231? They take the same labels and ribbons. The ZT231 is faster: up to 305mm/sec at 203 dpi, against 254mm/sec on the ZT111.

Will desktop ribbons fit a ZT111 or ZT231? No. Desktop printers use 74m or 300m ribbons on smaller cores. The ZT series uses 450m ribbons on a 25.4mm core.

Can I use labels on a 25mm core? Yes, as long as the roll is no more than 152mm across. For long runs, 76mm-core rolls up to 203mm across are more economical.

Can you supply other label sizes? Yes. Our Genie labels are made in our own UK factory. Tell us the size and material you need and we'll quote.
