Printer Compatibility

PRINTER COMPATIBILITY

Choose the right labels for your printer

It is essential to confirm the type of labels that are compatible with your printer because all labels do not work for all printers. Some thermal printers only use their brand of shipping labels or require unique shipping label sizes.
 
Our guide is a comprehensive list of common printers and compatible EcoEnclose labels. If you have any additional to this list, please contact us.

What's The Difference Between Black Timing Mark and Transmissive Gap?

These are types of direct thermal roll labels. Direct thermal roll labels require a thermal printer.

Black Timing Mark

A black timing mark label has a black line on the release liner between each label. Also called black mark sensing, printers use timing marks to know when to stop feeding the label.
 
EcoEnclose offers these labels in rolls of 250 units.

Transmissive Gap

A transmissive gap label uses a center gap reader to sense the space between the labels. Some gap labels, such as Dymo, also have a notch, but ours use only the space in between.
 
EcoEnclose offers these labels in rolls of 250 or 1000 units.
