Standard P-touch letter tapes

This Brother letter tape is a standard letter tape. This means that the tape is intended for your everyday use. Think of labeling things in your home, office, store, warehouse. The tape has a normal adhesive layer that is easy to remove. The standard tape is UV resistant and should be stuck on a flat or slightly curved surface.

P-touch standard TZe tapes are available in widths from 3.5 - 36mm and in various combinations of text color and tape color. 

Brother has developed more than just letter tapes for general applications. Therefore, please also check if there might be a special tape for your application that is better suited than a standard tape.

Specialty P-touch letter tapes

Brother has not only developed letter tapes for general applications. There is also a whole series of special tapes.

• Flexible tapes for labeling cables (cable wraps and cable flags), pipes, highly curved surfaces.
• Strong-adhesive tapes for difficult, rough surfaces or when a tape needs to be difficult to remove
• Shrink tubes (heat shrink tubes) for labeling and shrinking power cables
• Stencil tapes for making etching masks
• Fluorescent tape for good visibility in dark environments
• Metallic tapes for a technical look
• Security tape that leaves a marker when the tape is removed
• Matte tapes

Thermal Transfer printing

The P-touch letter tapes are printed using the method of Thermal Transfer. The cassette contains 2 rolls that are guided along each other. One roll contains the letter tape, the other roll contains the imprint tape. The print head is heated at the positions where a print is to be made during the transport of the letter tape and due to that heat, the color is transferred to the letter tape at that location of the print tape. So the imprint is transferred to the letter tape by heat and melts onto it. The typeface tape itself is not heat sensitive and thus will not discolor quickly and the print is very firmly attached to the tape.

The TZe-151 tape replaces the old model TZ-151 tape.
