25mm Core Labels

25mm Core Labels for Desktop and Portable Thermal Printers

If you use a desktop or portable thermal label printer, you need labels with a 25mm core (also referred to as a 1-inch core). The 25mm core is the standard inner diameter for compact label rolls designed to fit desktop printers from Zebra, Brother, Sato, TSC and other popular brands. Vision Supply stocks a wide range of 25mm core labels covering shipping, barcode, pricing, meat labelling and general identification applications.

Our 25mm core label collection brings together every label in our range that uses this compact core size, making it easy to find compatible rolls for your printer without guessing about specifications.

Why Core Size Matters When Buying Labels

The core size is the diameter of the cardboard tube at the centre of a label roll. If the core is too large, the roll will not physically fit inside your printer. If the core is too small, it may not sit properly on the printer spindle, causing feeding issues and label jams.

Desktop thermal printers such as the Zebra GK420d, GX420d, ZD420, ZD620 and Brother QL series are engineered for 25mm core rolls. Mid-range commercial printers typically use 40mm cores, and high-speed industrial printers use 76mm cores. Always check your printer manual or specifications to confirm the correct core size before ordering.

Types of 25mm Core Labels Available

Our 25mm core range includes direct thermal labels for shipping and pricing, pre-printed butcher and meat labels in the popular 60x40mm format, markdown labels for retail clearance, produce and crate labels for fresh food logistics and coloured fluorescent labels for warehouse sorting and promotional tagging.

Popular direct thermal sizes on 25mm cores include 100x150mm shipping labels (350 per roll), 100x73mm address labels, 56x25mm scale labels and various barcode formats. Pre-printed labels include the full range of butcher labels covering beef, lamb, chicken, mince, BBQ and specialty varieties.

Adhesive options across the 25mm core range include permanent adhesive for standard use and removable adhesive for temporary pricing and repositionable applications.

25mm Core Labels for Small Business and eCommerce

Desktop thermal printers with 25mm core labels are the most popular choice for small to medium businesses, home-based eCommerce sellers and retail shops that need reliable label printing without the size or cost of an industrial printer. The compact roll size takes up minimal space on a desk or packing bench, and each roll provides enough labels for efficient daily operations.

For shipping, the 100x150mm direct thermal label on a 25mm core is the go-to format. It is compatible with Australia Post, StarTrack, Sendle, Aramex and all other major Australian carriers. For product pricing, 60x40mm labels on 25mm cores are the standard for butcher shops, delis and small retailers.
