Brother TZ231 1/2" Labeling Tape (26.2', Black on White)

Customer Reviews:

Brother Labeling good as always
I am quite pleased with the TZ231 1/2" Tape. I prefer the 1/2 over the 3/8" tape because it is easier to read as folder labels.

Brother(brand)labeling tape 1/2"
This is the OLD tape....meaning that there isn't a crease in the back so that you can "crack" it open and take off the protective covering so that you can stick it onto something and actually lable it!! It is very frustrating. Very. The newer version of the tape, of course, has this feature. Be careful

Excellent product
I bought the label machine over a year ago and these labelling tapes are excellent. I have a retail store and use them to label all the items advertised for sale.

It's Label Tape, It Works!
In my opinion, the Brother P-Touch label maker is one of the best inventions that mankind has invented. Blows ridiculous things like I-pods and cell phones out of the water in terms of real world practicality. Makes 'em look almost prehistoric.

This is the tape replacement refill for the P-Touch, a neccesity to make the machine work, much like gas for your car.
I installed my refill and made more labels. What more can I say? It's label tape, it works!

Useful for Hanging File Folder Labels
I have used several Brother label makers, all of which use the TZ series tapes. Of those tapes, my two favorite are black on white in this width and the 3/8" width. I prefer the 1/2" width for hanging file folders because the label fits nicely on the tab. I like the 3/8" width (TZ-221) for use with manila folders because the narrower width positions closer to the edge of the tab.

There is also a 1/2" tape that is black on clear. However, the clear tapes also show any dirt or debris that might be trapped behind the tape. Thus, if you are in an environment that has even a small amount of dirt or other contamination, it may be readily visible against a light background after the tape is positioned.

One other caution regarding these tapes; the backing can be difficult to remove. The newer tape cartridges have a split backing that is easier to remove than the original single piece backing. Even so, a certain amount of manual dexterity is required to remove the backing.

This tape adheres readily; the print is nicely defined and has a high contrast. The tape can be slightly difficult to handle. Overall, this tape is very useful in a variety of applications and one of my two favorite label maker tapes.
