Brother PT-3600 Label Tape

Tape Length and Expected Use

Brother TZe tape cassettes for the PT-3600 generally provide 8 metres of continuous laminated label tape per cassette, though specialty tapes such as fabric iron-on or security tape may come in shorter continuous lengths. Because the PT-3600 prints on continuous tape, you can customise the length of each label to fit your specific text, symbols, or barcodes before cutting. Both individual tape cassettes and multi-cassette packs are available to match small tasks or high-volume workplace labelling projects.

Choosing the Right Tape Width and Material

The Brother PT-3600 supports a wide spectrum of cassette widths ranging from 6mm up to 36mm, allowing for compact single-line labels through to prominent multi-line hazard notices. Beyond width, selecting the correct tape construction ensures your labels remain legible and securely attached over time:

• Standard Laminated Tape (TZe): Designed with a protective top layer that resists water, chemical spills, fading from UV exposure, and abrasion. Ideal for filing, storage containers, and indoor or outdoor equipment.
• Strong Adhesive Tape (TZe-S): Formulated with extra bonding strength for textured, powder-coated, or irregular surfaces where standard adhesives might peel.
• Flexible ID Tape (TZe-FX): Engineered to wrap around thin wires, cables, hydraulic hoses, and curved pipes without lifting at the edges.
• Stencil Tape (STe): Non-adhesive tape designed for non-impact electrochemical masking, enabling precise direct marking on metals and components.
• Specialty Finishes and Security: Options include matte, satin, metallic finishes, tamper-evident security tapes (TZe-SE), fabric iron-on tapes (TZe-FA), and decorative ribbon tapes.

Pro Tip: Utilizing 36mm Wide Tapes for High-Visibility Signage

When printing high-visibility safety notices or asset ID tags on the Brother PT-3600, select 36mm wide tape cassettes. The extra print area lets you print larger font sizes, clear hazard symbols, and multi-line text that remains readable from a distance across warehouses and workshop floors.

What is the difference between standard TZe tape and TZe-S strong adhesive tape?

Standard TZe tape uses a durable laminated structure suitable for smooth, flat surfaces. TZe-S tape features a stronger adhesive compound specifically engineered to adhere securely to rough, textured, or powder-coated surfaces.

What are STe stencil tapes used for?

STe stencil tapes are non-adhesive cassette tapes designed for electrochemical marking and etching applications, allowing you to etch part numbers, logos, or serial numbers directly onto metal surfaces.
