Premium 4-inch RFID label printing with adaptive encoding and enterprise-ready management.

The Zebra ZD621R combines premium 4-inch thermal-transfer printing with integrated UHF RFID encoding for asset, inventory and item-level identification. Choose 203 or 300 dpi and the connectivity, display or media-handling configuration that fits the workflow.

Adaptive Encoding Technology and the RE40 RFID Reader/Encoder simplify tag setup, while Link-OS, Zebra DNA tools and adaptable connectivity make the ZD621R easier to deploy, secure and maintain.
