Zebra PLS-113 2.8" x 1.5" LaserBand Label Sheets (Case of 1,000 Sheets)
Overview
The Zebra PLS-113 is a pre-cut LaserBand label in 2.8" x 1.5" format, delivered as letter-size (8.5" x 11") sheets with 21 labels per sheet and a case quantity of 1,000 sheets. This is a non-printable, Coated Side Out (CSO) stock — purpose-built for the LaserBand wristband system and not intended for standard thermal or laser desktop label printers. If you are sourcing consumables for a LaserBand workflow, PLS-113 is the sheet format that keeps the process standardized without custom cutting or manual prep. Browse the full Zebra catalog for compatible printers, ribbons, and other label formats.
Sold by the case, this is a bulk replenishment SKU. With 21,000 individual 2.8" x 1.5" labels per case (21 labels × 1,000 sheets), a single order covers sustained volume in healthcare admissions, patient tracking, or event credentialing environments where consistent label supply is operationally critical. If you are evaluating label stocks for a labels and supplies program, verify your workflow requires the CSO coating orientation before ordering — orientation affects how the label bonds in the LaserBand process.
Key Features
- 2.8" x 1.5" Label Dimensions: A compact footprint that fits standard wristband slots and patient ID applications without trimming. The fixed size eliminates per-batch cutting waste and keeps throughput consistent in high-volume admissions environments.
- 21 Labels Per Sheet: Letter-size sheet layout maximizes yield per pass through a LaserBand applicator. At 21 labels per sheet across 1,000 sheets, a single case delivers 21,000 labels — enough to cover large-scale event or multi-day healthcare intake without mid-run restocking.
- 1,000 Sheets Per Case: Bulk case format is sized for departments or facilities that process labels continuously. Ordering at case quantity reduces per-label cost and cuts reorder frequency, which matters in environments where label stock-outs disrupt patient flow or credentialing queues.
- Non-Printable Stock: PLS-113 is not a printable label — it is designed to function within the LaserBand system's pre-formatted workflow. Ordering this part for use in a standard desktop label printer or thermal printer will not produce usable output; confirm your process matches the LaserBand system before purchasing.
- Coated Side Out (CSO) Orientation: The CSO coating is engineered to face outward in the finished wristband, providing the surface properties required for the LaserBand bonding process. Installing rolls or sheets with incorrect orientation is a common source of application failures — CSO labeling on every unit prevents mis-loading.
- Sheet Format: Unlike roll stock, the sheet format integrates into office or clinical environments where sheet-fed document handling is already the standard. No specialized roll holder or unwind stand is required, lowering the infrastructure footprint for lower-volume satellite locations.
- LaserBand Product Family: PLS-113 is part of Zebra's LaserBand line, a system specifically designed for healthcare and event ID applications where wristband durability, patient safety, and scan-readiness are non-negotiable. Sourcing within the LaserBand family ensures material compatibility across applicators and accessories.
Integration and Compatibility
PLS-113 is designed for use within the Zebra LaserBand wristband system. It is not a general-purpose label compatible with arbitrary barcode label printers or thermal transfer printers. Before ordering, confirm that your facility uses LaserBand-compatible applicators and that the 2.8" x 1.5" label dimension matches your wristband format. For facilities running multiple wristband sizes across departments, cross-check the label dimensions against your existing LaserBand applicator specifications — the PLS-113 is a specific cut size, not a universal fit.
If your operation requires Zebra label stocks for thermal transfer or direct thermal printing, that is a separate product line. The PLS-113 (often searched as PLS 113) should only be selected when the LaserBand workflow is confirmed active at your site.
What's in the Box
- 1 Case containing 1,000 sheets of PLS-113 LaserBand labels (21 labels per sheet, 2.8" x 1.5" each)
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How many individual labels are in one case of the PLS-113?
A: Each case contains 1,000 sheets with 21 labels per sheet, yielding 21,000 individual 2.8" x 1.5" labels per case.
Q: Can the PLS-113 be used with a standard laser or thermal transfer printer?
A: No. The PLS-113 is a non-printable stock designed specifically for the Zebra LaserBand wristband system. It will not produce usable output in a standard desktop label or thermal transfer printer. Verify your workflow uses LaserBand-compatible equipment before ordering.
Q: What does Coated Side Out (CSO) mean and why does it matter?
A: CSO means the coated face of the label is oriented outward in the finished wristband. This orientation is required for proper bonding in the LaserBand process. Installing stock with the wrong orientation is a common source of application failures, so confirm CSO compatibility with your applicator setup.
Q: Is the PLS-113 sold as a single sheet, a box, or a case?
A: The PLS-113 is sold by the case. Each case contains 1,000 sheets. The case quantity is 1, meaning one unit ordered equals one case of 1,000 sheets.
Q: What label dimensions does the PLS-113 use?
A: Each label measures 2.8" wide by 1.5" tall (approximately 71mm x 38mm), die-cut on standard 8.5" x 11" (216mm x 279mm) letter-size sheets.
The PLS-113 is a purpose-specific consumable, and the detail that matters most before ordering is the Non-Printable designation. This is not a label you load into a Zebra desktop printer — it is a pre-formatted sheet stock that feeds into the LaserBand wristband workflow, and ordering it for the wrong application means a full case (1,000 sheets, 21,000 labels) you cannot use.
Technical Highlights:
- 21 Labels Per Sheet at 2.8" x 1.5": The sheet yield is high enough that a 1,000-sheet case covers sustained volume — 21,000 labels per order — which reduces reorder overhead in high-throughput patient admissions or event credentialing settings.
- Coated Side Out (CSO): The CSO designation is a hard compatibility requirement for the LaserBand bonding process. Swapping in a non-CSO stock, or loading CSO stock inverted, produces application failures that aren't always immediately obvious — worth confirming explicitly during initial setup.
- Sheet Format vs. Roll Stock: The 8.5" x 11" sheet format is the right choice for satellite locations or lower-throughput clinical stations that already handle sheet-fed documents. Roll format requires a stand and unwind path — sheet format does not, which simplifies deployment in space-constrained clinical areas.
Deployment Considerations:
- Confirm the LaserBand applicator model in use at your site accepts the 2.8" x 1.5" format specifically — the LaserBand family spans multiple label sizes, and case quantities make a wrong-size order costly to absorb.
- The PLS-113 is classified as non-printable, which means no thermal, laser, or inkjet printer output is expected or supported. If your workflow requires pre-printed patient data on the wristband label, this stock is not the correct selection — a printable LaserBand variant or a different product family is needed.
The PLS-113 is the right replenishment SKU for healthcare facilities and event credentialing operations already standardized on the Zebra LaserBand system, specifically where a sheet-fed format fits the intake station layout and 21,000-label case quantities match consumption volume without creating long-term storage burden.
