Citizen DT3X3-5-1 Direct Thermal Label Roll

Overview

The Citizen DT3X3-5-1 is a direct thermal label stock, 3 inches wide by 3.5 inches long, designed for thermal printers in the Citizen CMP30 series. This 10-pack contains 10 rolls per carton, making it the consumable replenishment you need for warehouse labeling, asset tracking, and shipping operations that rely on on-demand barcode and text printing without ribbon or ink cartridges. Direct thermal technology means the label material itself darkens when heated by the print head—no consumable film required, reducing supply chain complexity and per-label cost.

Compatibility

The DT3X3-5-1 is engineered for the Citizen CMP30 series thermal printer. Verify your printer model before ordering—thermal label dimensions and roll core specifications are not interchangeable across all thermal printer brands and models. The CMP30 accepts this 3x3.5-inch format natively; confirm your printer's media bay specifications if you are uncertain.

Installation Notes

Load the roll into your thermal printer's media tray following the manufacturer's guidance for roll orientation and tension. Direct thermal labels are sensitive to heat, light, and humidity during storage—keep unopened rolls in a cool, dry environment (ideally 50–70°F, 35–50% RH) to preserve print quality and shelf life. Once a roll is open, use it within 6 months for best results. Do not expose loaded media to direct sunlight or high heat before printing.
