SATO SG15LT-10217 3x2 Thermal Transfer Paper Label
The SATO SG15LT-10217 is a 3" x 2" thermal transfer paper label engineered for high-volume industrial labeling operations. Designed for enterprise warehousing, manufacturing, and distribution environments, this label combines reliable adhesion with crisp print quality across barcode, asset tracking, shipping, and identification applications. Each case delivers 4,000 labels (4 rolls × 1,000 labels), optimizing stock levels and reducing reorder frequency.
Key Features
- 3" x 2" thermal transfer paper facestock with permanent acrylic adhesive
- 1,000 labels per roll; 4 rolls per case (4,000 total labels per case)
- 1.5" core ID with 4.375" outer diameter—direct fit for SATO industrial printers
- Perforated between labels for efficient tear-off dispensing
- Compatible with wax (T101A), wax-resin (T110A Premier II), and resin (R333A) ribbons
- Permanent acrylic adhesive ensures reliable adhesion across temperature ranges
Technical Highlights
The thermal transfer paper facestock delivers excellent print reception, enabling sharp barcode reproduction and legible human-readable text without smudging or fading. The permanent acrylic adhesive is engineered for reliable adhesion to cartons, corrugated packaging, plastic surfaces, and product containers in ambient to moderate-temperature environments. Label perforation between each unit streamlines manual or semi-automated dispensing workflows.
Ribbon compatibility spans the thermal transfer spectrum: wax ribbons for paper and synthetic label materials, wax-resin blends for enhanced durability on coated stocks, and resin ribbons for maximum longevity on challenging surfaces. This flexibility allows operators to match ribbon selection to substrate, print volume, and environmental exposure requirements.
Applications
Ideal for:
- Barcode and GS1 compliance labeling in warehousing and logistics
- Asset tracking and inventory management across manufacturing floors
- Shipping and parcel identification in distribution centers
- Product identification and lot/batch coding on cartons and cases
- High-volume label production environments requiring case-quantity efficiency

The SG15LT-10217 addresses a core industrial labeling requirement: balancing cost-per-label with print quality and adhesion reliability. The 3" x 2" format strikes a practical middle ground—large enough for readable barcodes and text, compact enough for carton and case labeling without material waste. The 4,000-label case volume suits mid-to-large operations running regular thermal transfer print jobs, reducing handling touchpoints versus smaller rolls.
Permanent acrylic adhesive is the standard for industrial paper labels exposed to ambient warehouse conditions. It outperforms rubber or synthetic adhesives in temperature stability and aging resistance, critical for labels that must remain scannable and legible throughout product shelf life. The ribbon compatibility range reflects industry-standard thermal transfer consumables, ensuring supply chain flexibility and preventing vendor lock-in.
For organizations standardized on SATO industrial printers, this label SKU integrates seamlessly with existing equipment and workflows. The 1.5" core and 4.375" OD are engineered tolerances that eliminate spindle compatibility issues—a common pain point when mixing label vendors.
