Zebra Z-Band UltraSoft wit zelfklevend printeretiket

The Zebra Z-Band UltraSoft is a self-adhesive direct-thermal wristband made of durable polypropylene (PP). It measures 1.9 cm in width and 27.9 cm in length and is designed for printing patient information and barcodes with compatible printers such as Zebra’s HC100TM. The band is white for clear, high-contrast printing and is intended for applications in healthcare and event management where reliable identification and wearer comfort are required.

Advantages

The Z-Band UltraSoft features a silver antimicrobial coating to protect the wristband surface, is latex-free, and is considered MR‑Safe due to the absence of metal in or on the band. It supports direct thermal printing chemistry primarily composed of leuco dyes and developers and uses UV varnishes and water-based inks. The wristband remains scannable for up to 14 days and fastens securely and quickly with an adhesive tab or color clip.
