Zebra 10012718-5 ZBAND SPLASH Wristband Roll
The Zebra 10012718-5 is a high-capacity wristband roll designed for rapid identification and tracking in healthcare facilities, event venues, and warehouse operations. This product delivers 350 pre-printed or printable wristbands per roll in pink, making it ideal for large-scale deployments where bulk inventory is essential.
Overview
Wristbands remain one of the most effective patient identification and visitor management tools in modern healthcare and logistics environments. The 10012718-5 format provides the quantity and form factor required for high-throughput facilities that process hundreds of individuals daily. The pink coloring supports visual coding protocols common in healthcare settings, enabling rapid visual identification at a glance.
Key Features
- Capacity: 350 wristbands per roll, enabling single-order fulfillment for mid-to-large facilities
- Color: Pink, supporting standard healthcare color-coding systems for patient acuity, visitor status, or workflow categorization
- ZBAND SPLASH Series: Purpose-built construction for moisture and chemical resistance in clinical and operational environments
- Form Factor: Wristband configuration ensures secure attachment, preventing loss and enabling continuous patient/visitor tracking throughout facility stay
- Printable Compatibility: Compatible with Zebra thermal and direct thermal label printers, supporting barcode, text, and graphics encoding
- Adhesive Construction: Permanent-adhesive design prevents accidental removal while remaining adjustable during initial application
Integration & Compatibility
The 10012718-5 wristband roll integrates directly with Zebra ZD and ZT series thermal printers configured for label stock. The roll format is compatible with Zebra's label applicator systems and standard roll feed mechanisms. Organizations using enterprise patient management systems (such as Epic, Cerner, or similar EMR platforms) can encode patient identifiers, medical record numbers, and allergy alerts directly onto the wristband, creating a physical-digital bridge for bedside verification protocols.
Application Scenarios
In acute care settings, the 350-count roll supports single-shift or multi-day inventory for patient admission, ensuring continuity of identification across clinical workflows. In event management and temporary facility operations (field hospitals, mass vaccination sites), bulk roll deployment reduces supply chain complexity and enables rapid batch printing of visitor or participant credentials. Logistics and warehouse operations leverage wristbands for worker identification, area-access coding, and safety certification tracking.
Specification Details
The ZBAND SPLASH construction addresses the splash and moisture challenges inherent in healthcare environments—from clinical hand-washing and sanitizing to humid operational spaces. The pink colorway is widely recognized in healthcare as a standard identifier code, supporting visual triage and departmental workflows without requiring near-field barcode scanning. The roll is packaged as a standard Zebra cartridge unit, compatible with roll-feed label printers without modification.
The model number 10012718-5 (often searched as 10012718 5) appears in healthcare supply catalogs and is frequently ordered as part of larger patient identification kits. Facilities standardizing on Zebra thermal print solutions find the wristband roll a natural consumable addition to their label supply chain.
Ted PerryPerspective based on aggregated IP Security Depot and affiliated engineering team experience.
I've evaluated the Zebra 10012718-5 during several acute care patient ID projects. The 350-count roll capacity aligns well with typical admission workflows in mid-sized hospitals, reducing reprinting bottlenecks during peak intake periods. The pink color coding integrates seamlessly into existing visual triage protocols, and the ZBAND SPLASH construction stands up reliably in wet environments—critical when wristbands spend hours exposed to hand hygiene, IV insertion, and cleaning cycles.
Technical Highlights:
- Capacity: 350 wristbands per roll eliminates mid-shift restocking in typical hospital admission departments
- Moisture Resistance: ZBAND SPLASH design withstands sanitizer splashes, handwashing, and humid clinical areas without degradation
Deployment Considerations:
- Verify printer roll-feed compatibility before order; Zebra ZD and ZT series printers require verified roll specifications
- Pre-populate patient data (MRN, allergies, care team) into your EMR print-to-label workflow to maximize barcode utility downstream
The 10012718-5 is a reliable consumable for healthcare facilities running Zebra thermal print infrastructure. Stock at least two rolls per location to prevent admission delays during high-census periods.
