Thermal Labels for ILS 80/20 Printers
Thermal Labels for ILS 80/20 Printers
SRD Labels 3×3 DTL and 4×2 DTL are fully compatible with the ILS 80/20 thermal printer. Same 3-inch core as the ILX 81/12 — drop-in replacement with zero configuration required.
About the ILS 80/20 Printer
The ILS 80/20 is an industrial direct thermal label printer widely used in CNC nesting shops, panel processing lines, and storage retrieval systems. It is the companion model to the ILX 81/12 and shares the same 3-inch inner core specification, making SRD Labels a direct fit for both machines.
The ILS 80/20 is commonly found in cabinet manufacturing plants, closet shops, millwork operations, and furniture production facilities. It is designed for continuous high-speed production labeling and is frequently integrated with CNC software platforms including Cabinet Vision, CADCode, and Microvellum.

✓ Why These Labels Work With the ILS 80/20
- 3-inch inner core is a direct match for the ILS 80/20 spindle — loads without adapters
- Direct thermal format matches the ILS 80/20's heat-based printing system — no ribbon needed
- Top-coated paper delivers sharp, scannable barcodes at the ILS 80/20's standard print speeds
- Ultra-removable adhesive is engineered for melamine, MDF, and raw wood surfaces used in cabinet production
- Perforated label edges feed cleanly through the ILS 80/20 media path with zero jamming
- 3,000 labels per roll reduces roll changes during long production runs
ILS 80/20 vs ILX 81/12 — What's the Difference?
Both the ILS 80/20 and ILX 81/12 are industrial direct thermal printers used in the same CNC woodworking environment. The key differences are print speed and throughput — the ILX 81/12 is the higher-speed model, while the ILS 80/20 is designed for medium-volume operations.
Both machines use the same 3-inch inner core specification, which means SRD Labels 3×3 DTL and 4×2 DTL rolls fit both printers without any modification. If your shop runs both machines, one case of SRD Labels works across your entire operation.
How the ILS 80/20 Fits Into Your CNC Workflow
In a CNC nesting or panel saw workflow, the ILS 80/20 receives print commands directly from your CNC software. As each part is cut, the software identifies it and sends the label data to the ILS 80/20, which prints and ejects the label for immediate application to the panel.
The ultra-removable adhesive on SRD Labels holds the label firmly throughout production — surviving the journey through the edgebander, across the assembly floor, and into the delivery truck — then peels cleanly at the job site without leaving residue on the finished panel face.
At 3,000 labels per roll and 4 rolls per case, a single SRD Labels case keeps most single-shift operations running for 3–4 weeks without a reorder.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are SRD Labels guaranteed to work with the ILS 80/20?
Yes. SRD Labels 3×3 DTL and 4×2 DTL are confirmed compatible with the ILS 80/20. The 3-inch core, direct thermal format, and perforated feed match the machine's specifications exactly. If your first case doesn't perform as expected, contact us and we'll make it right.
Do I need to recalibrate my ILS 80/20 when switching to SRD Labels?
No. SRD Labels are manufactured to the same specifications your ILS 80/20 is already configured for. Load the roll and print — no darkness adjustments or calibration required.
Can I use the same labels in my ILS 80/20 and ILX 81/12?
Yes — that's one of the advantages of SRD Labels. Both machines use the same 3-inch core and direct thermal format, so one case of 3×3 DTL or 4×2 DTL works across both printers. No need to stock separate label SKUs for each machine.
Will these labels stick to melamine and MDF without leaving residue?
Yes. The ultra-removable adhesive is specifically designed for the surfaces common in cabinet and millwork production. Labels bond firmly during production and peel cleanly at the job site — no ghosting, no residue, no surface damage on finished panels.
How many cases do I need for a month of production?
Most single-shift shops use one case (4 rolls / 12,000 labels) every 3–4 weeks. Two-shift operations typically order 2–3 cases at a time. Orders over $299 qualify for free shipping, so ordering in bulk saves on both price and shipping.
How fast does shipping take?
In-stock orders ship within 1–2 business days. Standard delivery is 3–5 business days. Free shipping on orders over $299. For rush orders call 1 (844) 522-3570.
