Dymo LetraTag Plastic Label Tape, 12 mm x 4 m Roll - Clear

Product Information

Setup: First, assembly of each label maker was completed. We timed how long it took to take the product out of the box and prepare it for use, and recorded how useful and detailed the included instructions were.

If you are specifically looking for a desktop labeler, the Brother P-Touch PT- D610BTVP Business Professional Connected Label Maker is our top choice. We want to be clear that we tested an older model, the Brother PTD600 PC-Connectable Labeler. But, with that option now discontinued, and this updated version available in its place, we're excited about the possibilities. Whether you’ve just launched a clothing line, or you’re in the wine business, you can explore our collection of vintage-inspired or modern templates that are suitable for any type of industry. Save and edit as many versions as you like QWERTY keyboard: Most modern label maker options have a full, QWERTY-style keyboard. This format, which you'll know as the standard typewriter keyboard layout, is generally ideal for adults. When we tested the previous version, we gave it high marks for going above and beyond the basic functionality of some of its peers, and we're glad to see that Brother has offered even more in its next iteration. While this is one of the pricier label makers on the market, we think the abundance of features makes it a reasonable value. However, if you want to protect your investment with the brand's hard-shell case, note that it's sold separately.

It includes the Phomemo D30 label maker, a thermal label maker that you can connect to your phone via bluetooth. Some label printers print using ink and toner, while others use embossing to make their mark - and both can be pretty cheap. If you've got grand plans to declutter your home and streamline your storage system in the months ahead, a labelling machine is an essential bit of kit. Beyond the practicalities of organising, label makers can help you add finesse to gift wrapping or scrapbook projects. You could even personalise presents with some. The Cricut Joy machine connects to your computer or mobile via Bluetooth technology, so you can control your Cricut machine without wires for total ease and convenience.

Brother's tapes (up to 12mm) can be used with this P-touch model and are available in up to 60 colour and size combinations. Another important factor in choosing a labeler is deciding how and where you're going to use it, which helps determine what type of connection(s) you need. Many label printers support more than one connection type, but some support only one, with USB being the most common. Not only is it used for connecting to your computer, but for the many labelers that come with internal batteries, it's one of the more common ways to recharge them.The biggest difference? The latest version offers Bluetooth capabilities, along with a USB cable that gives you the option to print from a computer or mobile device like your phone. It still has a full QWERTY keyboard for on-the-spot printing, too, as well as a full-color screen and full QWERTY keyboard, plus an impressive selection of fonts and customizable lettering options. One of our favorite features from testing the Brother PTD600 was the ability to power it with an adapter or wirelessly with batteries, and we're happy to report that this is also available in the newer model. In addition to handheld options with standard QWERTY keyboards, you can also opt for a Bluetooth model that connects directly to the keyboard on your phone or computer for convenient typing. While this allows for more creative flexibility, some people prefer to use just one device—in that case, an integrated keyboard is preferable. Overall value: Overall value was evaluated while thinking about the experience with it and the price tag. This is entirely up to your needs, but suffice to say that monochrome-colour printers are traditionally cheaper. Other label makers use embossing to make their mark, meaning you’ll need to buy a supply of tape and ribbon for this to work – although the vintage effect offered by such models is incredibly appealing.

These look great on homemade produce in glass jars or bottles. They’re easy to peel and have a quality adhesive that is also water resistant. The Cricut Joy is not your conventional label maker as it can also cut and create pictures, hand-drawn designs, and cut-out words. Although when you're buying one of the embossing models, you’ll need to factor in extra for the tape and ribbon. Please be aware that if additional set up is required by our design studio this may delay turnaround time. With five font sizes, seven print styles, eight box styles, a keyboard and a super easy-to-use screen, it’s no wonder the Dymo LetraTag LT-100H is so popular.

What about labels' size and materials?

Navigating the app entails a little bit of a learning curve, but is relatively easy after you read the directions and spend some time playing around with it. Rechargeable batteries are typically the most convenient and sustainable power source for your label maker—particularly portable ones. Rather than separately purchasing and replacing the batteries, you can recharge your label maker as needed. While overall we prefer rechargeable models, battery-powered label makers like the Brother P-Touch Easy Handheld Label Maker are compact and portable, giving you the flexibility to label without wondering where the nearest outlet is for recharging.
