Zebra PLS-102-Z Adult Wristband Label Paper — 1,000-Count Carton
Overview
The Zebra PLS-102-Z is an adult wristband and label paper designed for patient identification in clinical and hospital settings. Each 8.5" x 11" white sheet includes 3 dedicated print zones plus 20 accessory labels — giving admissions, nursing, and lab teams all the identification media they need from a single sheet. The carton ships 1,000 units, making it a practical bulk-buy for high-volume facilities that run Zebra-compatible laser or thermal-transfer printers.
If you are searching for this item without hyphens, PLS-102-Z is also commonly searched as PLS 102 Z.
Key Features
- 8.5" x 11" sheet format: fits standard laser printer trays without custom tray adapters — no special media handling required for desktop printers already on the floor.
- 3 dedicated print zones per sheet: wristband body plus additional zones let you encode patient name, DOB, MRN, and barcode in a single print pass, reducing manual transcription steps.
- 20 accessory labels per sheet: the co-printed labels support chart flagging, specimen tubes, medication bags, and ancillary documentation without pulling from a separate label roll.
- Adult wristband sizing: sized for standard adult wrist circumference — confirm pediatric or bariatric needs against the relevant variant in the Zebra wristband line before ordering.
- White label stock: white background maximizes barcode contrast for scanner reads and keeps printed text legible under standard fluorescent clinical lighting.
- 1,000 units per carton: bulk carton quantity reduces per-unit cost and minimizes reorder frequency for busy admissions departments processing hundreds of patients per week.
Compatibility
The PLS-102-Z is designed for use with Zebra-compatible laser and thermal-transfer printers that accept 8.5" x 11" sheet media. Verify your printer's supported media list before deploying in high-volume print environments. This product is a consumable — it does not require firmware, drivers, or network configuration.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is included in one carton of PLS-102-Z?
A: Each carton contains 1,000 sheets. Each sheet is 8.5" x 11" white stock with 3 print zones and 20 accessory labels.
Q: Is the PLS-102-Z sized for adults only?
A: Yes, the PLS-102-Z is specified as an adult wristband size. If you need pediatric or bariatric sizing, check the broader Zebra wristband product family for the appropriate variant.
Q: What printers are compatible with the PLS-102-Z?
A: The sheet format (8.5" x 11") is designed for Zebra-compatible laser and thermal-transfer printers that accept standard letter-size media. Confirm compatibility with your specific printer model before ordering in bulk.
Q: How many labels does each sheet provide beyond the wristband?
A: Each sheet includes 20 additional labels alongside the 3 wristband print zones, supporting specimen, chart, and ancillary labeling from a single printed sheet.
The PLS-102-Z is a straightforward consumable, but the 3-print-zone layout is where it earns its keep in a real admissions workflow — you get the wristband body plus two additional zones in a single laser print pass, which is meaningful when you are processing dozens of admissions per shift and every manual step is a transcription risk.
Technical Highlights:
- 20 accessory labels per sheet: co-printing specimen and chart labels with the wristband eliminates the secondary label-printer step for most floor workflows — one trip through the printer covers the patient encounter.
- 8.5" x 11" sheet format: standard letter size means this media drops into existing desktop laser printer trays without any media adapter purchase or tray reconfiguration.
- 1,000-unit carton: at typical admission volumes of 50–150 patients per day, a single carton covers roughly one to three weeks of inventory — a manageable reorder cycle for most supply chain teams.
Deployment Considerations:
- The adult sizing is fixed — if your facility handles pediatric or bariatric patients at volume, you will need a separate variant; do not assume this sheet works across all patient populations.
- Confirm that your Zebra-compatible printer supports 8.5" x 11" sheet media before ordering in carton quantities; some desktop thermal-transfer models are roll-only and will not accept sheet stock.
Best fit for hospital admissions departments and outpatient registration desks running Zebra-compatible laser printers that need a combined wristband-plus-label solution in a single print pass.
