Brother TZe / TZ Labelling Tapes

The full range of Brothers TZe / TZ tapes is split over a number of type of labelling tape groups, these are detailed below.

  • Laminated TZe / TZ tapes - hard-wearing and fade-resistant, laminated TZ labels are suitable for indoor or outdoor labelling tasks. The overlaminate gives these tapes complete water resistance and will also remain unaffected by many chemicals.  These Brother labelling tapes have also become the popular way of labelling in the garden due to its UV and moisture resistance.

  • Non-laminated TZe / TZ tapes - the most economical range of Brother TZ tapes, these labels are not suitable for outdoor use and are only suited for short-term labelling tasks. There is no laminated layer and therefore this tape loses its robustness of the above laminated TZ tape.

  • Fluorescent TZe / TZ tapes - typically used in industrial environments for caution signage and warning labels

  • Strong adhesive TZe / TZ tapes - this type of TZ label has an even higher level of adhesion (or stickiness) for irregular surfaces such as stainless steel, glass, PVC, acrylic, polypropylene and polyester-coated wood. Recommended for use in commercial environments were the labels are required to stay in situ for many years,

  • Security TZe / TZ tapes - typically used in asset management. When the label is peeled, it leaves behind a 'checkerboard' pattern indicating the label has been tampered with.

  • Fabric TZe / TZ tapes - made of a special cloth, print your text to this label and then iron it on directly to your chosen fabric. Ideal for uniforms and workwear.

  • Iron-on TZe / TZ tapes - allows you to directly transfer letters and words to the fabric. Simply apply a hot iron and a cloth over the tape.

  • Flexi TZe / TZ tapes - specially formulated for acute edges and cylindrical surfaces (cable & wire marking, pipes, laboratory equipment etc)

  • Premium TZe tape - this tape has a sparkling background to give it a premium quality look and feel, plus a laminated overcoat.
