Brother PT-9800PCN Label Tape
Your Brother PT-9800PCN uses genuine Brother TZe label tapes and STe stencil tapes up to 36mm in width. This high-speed desktop label printer is built for heavy-duty commercial and industrial applications, including warehouse asset identification, electrical cable wrapping and facility signage. Standard TZe-231 12mm tape suits everyday office labelling, while TZe-S251 strong adhesive tape is formulated for rough surfaces and TZe-FX231 flexible ID tape wraps neatly around curved wires. Consumables for this model have been available from Ink Depot since Jan 2012. Australian customers rate Ink Depot 4.8 on Google.
Tape Length and Replacement Planning
Standard genuine Brother TZe tape cassettes supplied for the Brother PT-9800PCN contain 8 metres of laminated tape, giving reliable supply for ongoing labelling tasks. Speciality tapes, including TZe-N non-laminated tapes or STe stencil cassettes, provide specific lengths tailored to specialised direct-marking or stencil etching applications. Choosing multi-pack bundle options provides additional tape supply for busy work environments and helps prevent unexpected interruptions during high-volume print runs.
Selecting Tape Widths and Adhesives for the PT-9800PCN
The Brother PT-9800PCN accepts a broad spectrum of tape widths from 6mm up to 36mm, letting you choose the ideal format for your application:
- Standard Laminated TZe Tapes: Suitable for everyday identification on flat, smooth surfaces in offices, retail stores and storerooms.
- Strong Adhesive Tapes (TZe-S): Formulated with extra bonding strength for textured, powder-coated or uneven industrial surfaces. Popular numbers include TZe-S231, TZe-S241 and TZe-S251.
- Flexible ID Tapes (TZe-FX): Designed specifically for wrapping around cables, pipes and cylindrical equipment without peeling at the edges. Key options include TZe-FX231 and TZe-FX241.
- Security Tapes (TZe-SE): Feature a tamper-evident adhesive pattern that leaves a void mark if removed, making them ideal for asset management and security seals.
- STe Stencil Tapes: Specialised non-adhesive tape cassettes (such as STe-141 and STe-151) designed for thermal mask printing used in electrochemical metal etching.
Ordering Brother PT-9800PCN Tapes in Australia

Pro Tip: Using STe Stencil Tapes for Metal Etching
When using STe stencil cassettes (such as STe-141 or STe-151) with your Brother PT-9800PCN, the thermal printing process creates a precise porous mask rather than a traditional adhesive label. This allows electrochemical etching fluids or specialised inks to mark part numbers and logos directly onto stainless steel and metallic surfaces.
Frequently Asked Questions
What tape widths can I use with the Brother PT-9800PCN?
The Brother PT-9800PCN supports Brother TZe and STe tape cassettes in widths ranging from 6mm up to 36mm, allowing you to print everything from narrow cable markers to wide high-visibility industrial labels.
What is the difference between standard TZe tape and TZe-S strong adhesive tape?
Standard TZe tapes are designed for smooth, flat surfaces like plastic folders or glass. TZe-S strong adhesive tapes feature a extra-strength adhesive designed to bond securely to rough, textured, or powder-coated surfaces.
How do STe stencil tapes work in the PT-9800PCN?
STe stencil tapes are non-adhesive cassettes used to create custom stencils. When printed in the PT-9800PCN, the thermal head creates tiny micro-perforations in the tape, allowing etching fluid or ink to pass through onto metal components.
