Brother PT-2700 Label Tape

Tape Length and Replacement Planning

Brother TZe tape cassettes for the PT-2700 are supplied in continuous tape format, allowing you to print custom label lengths for any task. Standard laminated TZe cassettes contain 8 metres of tape, providing plenty of yield for everyday filing, shelf marking and cable identification. Speciality options, such as non-laminated TZe-N201 tapes or fabric ribbon cassettes, may supply shorter overall lengths suited to specific tasks. Ordering bundle packs is a practical way to keep essential widths on hand for high-volume labelling around the office or workplace.

Selecting the Right Tape for Your Application

The Brother PT-2700 supports tape widths ranging from 6mm up to 24mm, allowing you to match the exact size and adhesive type to your specific project needs:

• Standard Laminated TZe Tapes: Options like TZe-231 (12mm) and TZe-251 (24mm) feature Brother's laminated design, offering protection against water, chemicals, abrasion and temperature changes for long-term indoor and outdoor use.
• Strong Adhesive Tapes: TZe-S series tapes (such as TZe-S231 and TZe-S241) feature extra adhesive power, making them ideal for rough, textured or powder-coated surfaces.
• Flexible ID Tapes: TZe-FX series cassettes (including TZe-FX231 and TZe-FX631) are engineered specifically for wrapping around cables, wires and curved pipes without flagging at the edges.
• Security and Tamper-Evident Tapes: TZe-SE cassettes leave a visible checkerboard pattern if removed, helping secure asset tags and sensitive equipment.
• Stencil Tapes: STe series cassettes (such as STe-141 and STe-151) create thermal stencils designed for electrochemical etching on metal components and tools.

Planning Your Label Tape Order

To keep your labelling tasks running smoothly, choose tape widths that match your physical items. Narrow 6mm and 9mm tapes suit slim file folders and small switchboard components, 12mm and 18mm tapes handle standard binder spines and storage boxes, while 24mm wide tapes provide maximum legibility for warning signs and equipment identification. Browse our range of Brother label tape to find the exact colour and width combinations required for your workplace.

Pro Tip: Matching Tape Adhesive to the Surface

Standard laminated TZe tape performs best on smooth, flat plastic and glass surfaces. If you are labelling rough plastic containers, textured metal, or powder-coated server racks, select a strong adhesive TZe-S tape cassette to prevent edge lifting over time.

Frequently Asked Questions

What tape widths fit the Brother PT-2700?

The Brother PT-2700 accepts Brother TZe tape cassettes in 6mm, 9mm, 12mm, 18mm and 24mm widths. It also supports STe stencil tapes within these width specifications.

What is the difference between standard TZe tape and TZe-FX flexible tape?

Standard TZe tape is laminated and relatively rigid, designed for flat, smooth surfaces. TZe-FX flexible ID tape uses a more pliable laminate formula that conforms around curved surfaces, cables and wires without curling up or lifting off.

What are Brother STe stencil tapes used for on the PT-2700?

STe stencil tapes, such as STe-141 and STe-151, are non-adhesive specialty cassettes. When printed in the PT-2700, they act as a stencil mask for electrochemical marking and etching directly onto metal surfaces like tools, stainless steel and industrial parts.
