Wasp 2.25" x.75" Direct Thermal Labels – 4 Rolls, 2300 per Roll, 5" OD
Experience cost-efficient, ribbon-free labeling with the Wasp 2.25" x.75" Direct Thermal Labels. This four-roll pack delivers 2300 labels per roll, totaling 9,200 labels, wrapped around 5" outer-diameter rolls designed to minimize changeovers and maximize productivity. Direct thermal printing uses heat-sensitive stock to apply images, text, and barcodes directly onto the label surface—no ribbon, ink, or toner required. This not only reduces consumable costs but also simplifies maintenance and stock management in busy environments. The compact 2.25" x.75" label size is ideal for labeling small items, assets, packaging, shelf tags, and product SKUs, ensuring legible information and scannable barcodes without crowding surfaces. Whether you’re outfitting a warehouse, retail backroom, manufacturing line, or home-based business, these labels are engineered to deliver reliable performance, consistent print quality, and strong value over time.
- Ribbon-free Direct Thermal Printing — Print directly from your compatible thermal printer without the need for ribbons, ink, or toners. This reduces ongoing material costs, minimizes downtime, and simplifies inventory management. Direct thermal printing is ideal for short- to mid-term labeling needs where immediacy and readability are key, and it’s especially effective for shipping, asset tracking, and inventory control workflows.
- Ideal for Small-Format Labeling — The 2.25" x.75" footprint fits neatly on small items, bins, and product packaging, providing clear identification, precise barcodes, and scannable information without overwhelming the surface. This size is perfect for asset tags, SKU labels, shelf-edge labels, and lightweight shipping labels, helping teams quickly verify items at a glance.
- High-Quality, Consistent Output — Direct thermal stock delivers sharp black text and clean barcode edges for rapid scanning with standard handheld and fixed-position scanners. Consistent print quality across long print runs supports reliable inventory counts, accurate order picking, and fewer read errors in busy operations. The label surface is designed to resist smudging under normal handling, ensuring legibility from receipt to point of sale.
- Efficient Roll Configuration — Four rolls per pack, each containing 2300 labels, means you can label thousands of items before reordering. The 5" outer-diameter rolls reduce the frequency of reloads, helping maintain throughput in high-volume labeling tasks. This combination of quantity and roll design minimizes downtime and keeps your labeling line moving smoothly.
- Versatile, Cost-Effective Solution — A practical choice for businesses of all sizes, these direct thermal labels pair with a wide range of printers and are particularly compatible with many Wasp label systems. By eliminating ribbons and reducing waste, they offer a compelling total cost of ownership for everyday labeling needs—from warehousing to retail operations to small business inventories.

How to Install Wasp Direct Thermal Labels
- 1. Confirm your printer supports 2.25" x 0.75" direct thermal labels and is set to Direct Thermal mode (no ribbon).
- 2. Power off the printer and open the media compartment to remove any existing roll.
- 3. Insert the 5" OD roll into the media feeder, aligning the roll with the guides. Ensure the labels feed correctly by feeding a few inches before closing the cover.
- 4. Thread the label stock through the media path, keeping it flat and free of dust. Verify that the label face is oriented correctly for your printer’s print direction.
- 5. Close the printer cover securely and return to the print settings. Set the media size to 2.25" and select Direct Thermal or Heat-Only printing.
- 6. Adjust the print width to 2.25", ensure the label guides are aligned, and set appropriate print speed and darkness based on your stock and environment.
- 7. Run a test print to verify legibility of text and accuracy of barcodes. If the print is too light, increase darkness; if misaligned, recheck the media path and guides.
- 8. Once confirmed, begin printing batches. Periodically check for feed accuracy and label quality to maintain consistent results across runs.
