Zebra UWT-1101-A-1BAB Dart Tag Wearable Barcode Tag
Overview
The Zebra UWT-1101-A-1BAB is a Dart Tag wearable barcode label designed for direct-attach identification in warehouse, distribution, and retail environments. Sold individually (each), the UWT-1101-A-1BAB ships with a coated side out (CSO) configuration — meaning the printable or pre-printed surface faces outward when the tag is worn or attached, keeping the barcode consistently positioned for scanner reads without repositioning or flipping by the associate wearing it.
Dart Tags in the Zebra wearable tag family are purpose-built for operations running wearable barcode scanners such as the RS5100 or RS6100 ring scanners, where hands-free workflows depend on readable, properly oriented identification media attached to items, carts, totes, or personnel. The CSO orientation eliminates a common scanning error source in high-throughput picking environments.
Key Features
- Coated Side Out (CSO) Orientation: The printable face is positioned outward by design, so associates and scanners encounter the barcode immediately — no fumbling, no flipped tags causing missed reads in a pick-and-pass workflow.
- Sold Individually (Each): Procured per unit, which suits replenishment orders, pilot programs, or operations that need to match tag counts precisely to active personnel or assets rather than buying oversized packs.
- Dart Tag Form Factor: The Dart Tag design anchors to soft goods, pouches, and wearable fixtures without adhesive backing, making it reusable or repositionable in environments where permanent adhesive labels are impractical.
Integration and Compatibility
The UWT-1101-A-1BAB is part of the broader Zebra labels and tags catalog, designed to pair with Zebra's wearable barcode scanner lineup and supported printing workflows. Consult your printer compatibility guide to confirm media handling before deploying at scale. For guidance on building a complete wearable scanning workflow, a barcode scanner selection guide can help match the right scanner to the tag format in use. If your operation also involves label printing for fixed assets, review Zebra barcode printer options that support compatible tag media.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does 'Coated Side Out' (CSO) mean for the UWT-1101-A-1BAB?
A: CSO means the printable or pre-printed surface of the Dart Tag faces outward when attached or worn. This keeps the barcode in the correct orientation for scanner reads without requiring the associate to flip or reposition the tag.
Q: Is the UWT-1101-A-1BAB sold in packs or individually?
A: The UWT-1101-A-1BAB is sold individually — one tag per unit ordered. This allows precise replenishment to match active personnel or asset counts.
Q: What type of operations use Zebra Dart Tags?
A: Dart Tags are used in warehouse picking, distribution, and retail environments where wearable barcode identification is needed on soft goods, totes, pouches, or associates — typically paired with wearable ring scanners for hands-free workflows.
Q: Does the UWT-1101-A-1BAB require adhesive to attach?
A: The Dart Tag design is intended for non-adhesive attachment to soft goods and fixtures. Specific attachment method details should be confirmed against Zebra's product documentation for this tag model.
The UWT-1101-A-1BAB Dart Tag's coated side out (CSO) configuration is the one spec that directly affects first-read rates on the floor. In wearable scanning environments, tag orientation errors are a real source of scan failures — CSO removes that variable by design.
Technical Highlights:
- CSO Orientation: Printable surface faces outward on attachment, eliminating the tag-flip error that degrades read rates in high-velocity picking lines.
- Individual Unit Fulfillment: Sold as each, giving operations precise replenishment control without surplus inventory from oversized pack quantities.
- Dart Tag Form Factor: Non-adhesive attachment suits soft-good and wearable fixture applications where pressure-sensitive labels would fail or leave residue.
Deployment Considerations:
- Confirm printer media compatibility before deploying at scale — Dart Tag media has specific handling requirements that not all desktop or mobile printers accommodate.
- Evidence for this SKU is limited to tag type, orientation, and unit-of-measure; validate environmental ratings, print method (direct thermal vs. thermal transfer), and dimensions directly against Zebra's media specification sheet for UWT-1101-A-1BAB before committing to a large order.
Best suited for distribution center wearable-scanning programs where associates use ring scanners on pick lines and need consistently readable identification tags attached to totes, pouches, or garments throughout the shift.
