Non-adhesive labels: thermal cards with no glue
Non-adhesive labels are actually thermal cards without any adhesive. They are not meant to be stuck onto a box or product. Instead, you use them as loose cards in badge holders, racks, bins or document sleeves. There is no glue at all on the material.
Because the material is direct thermal, you can print with your label printer without ink or toner. That makes these cards ideal for warehouses, production lines, offices and events.
When do you use thermal cards?
- Visitor and name badges in plastic holders
- Bin or shelf cards in a warehouse
- Pick and order cards in internal logistics
- Price or product cards in retail displays
- Instruction or batch cards that travel with the goods
1. Brother DK-N55224 – non-adhesive roll for QL printers

Typical uses
- Shelf and bin cards in warehouses
- Temporary information cards on containers or products
- Visitor cards in holders

2. Dymo S0929100 and S0929110 – non-adhesive cards for LabelWriter
Dymo offers fixed-size non-adhesive cards for the LabelWriter range. The main options are:
- Dymo S0929100 – 51 × 89 mm, ideal for name or visitor badges
- Dymo S0929110 – 89 × 41 mm, a wider card for short information
These cards work with Dymo LabelWriter 400/450 models and, depending on the printer, also with the 5XL. With no adhesive, they are perfect for badges, temporary identification or small information cards in shelves and displays.
3. Zebra non-adhesive cards – 56 × 35.8 mm
For Zebra label printers there are compact non-adhesive thermal cards such as the Zebra cards 56 × 35.8 mm (non-adhesive). The product URL shows 358, but the actual card size is 56 × 35.8 mm.
Where are these cards used?
- Small pick and order cards in racks or bins
- Short product or batch information in holders
- Compact ID cards for internal logistics
- Status or instruction cards along production lines
Because of the small footprint, these cards fit nicely into narrow holders, bin fronts and profile rails.
4. Selection guide – which card for which job?
| Use case | Recommended card | Printer type |

| Flexible warehouse cards (variable length) | Brother DK-N55224 (54 mm roll) | Brother QL series |

5. Key points when choosing non-adhesive cards
- Compatibility: always check that the size is supported by your specific printer model.
- Width and length: fixed card sizes (Dymo/Zebra) versus a continuous roll (Brother DK-N55224) where you define the length yourself.
- Environment: thermal paper is sensitive to heat and direct sunlight – store cards in a cool, dry place.
- Use case: these cards do not stick. If you need a permanent label on a box or product, choose self-adhesive labels instead.
In short: whenever you need printed information but no sticker, non-adhesive thermal cards give you a clean, flexible and cost-effective solution.
