Brother PT-H300Li Label Tape

Tape Length and Expected Use

Brother TZe tape cassettes supplied for the Brother PT-H300Li generally contain 8 metres of continuous laminated tape per cartridge, providing substantial output for everyday identification tasks. Specialty variations differ in length based on their material construction, with non-laminated TZe-N tapes typically supplying 8 metres and fabric iron-on TZe-FA tapes containing 3 metres. Tape widths for this model range from 6mm (indicated by numbers ending in 11, such as TZe-111 or TZe-211) up to 18mm (indicated by numbers ending in 41, such as TZe-141 or TZe-241).

Choosing the Correct Tape Format

Selecting the right tape for your Brother PT-H300Li depends on the surface and environment where the label will be applied:

• Standard Laminated Tape (TZe): Features Brother's clear protective laminate layer, making labels resistant to water, fading, abrasion, chemicals and temperature extremes. Ideal for smooth, flat surfaces in office filing, storage bins and shelf tagging.
• Strong Adhesive Tape (TZe-S): Formulated with extra adhesive strength to bond securely to rough, textured, uneven or powder-coated metal surfaces. Common options include TZe-S231 (12mm black on white) and TZe-S641 (18mm black on yellow).
• Flexible ID Tape (TZe-FX): Specifically constructed for wrapping tightly around cables, wires, pipes and curved hydraulic lines without flagging or unravelling over time.
• Speciality Tapes: Includes TZe-FA3 fabric iron-on tape for clothing identification, TZe-SE4 tamper-evident security tape that leaves a checkerboard pattern if removed, and STe-141 stencil tape used for electrochemical etching on metal surfaces.

Planning Your Next Label Order

To keep your labelling tasks running smoothly, consider keeping several tape widths and colours on hand. Standard 12mm width is recommended for general document and container labelling, while 18mm tape provides expanded height for multi-line text or asset barcoding. Value multipacks provide multiple tape cassettes at a lower cost per roll for heavy users. If you need to return an unused product, review our returns policy for complete instructions.

Pro Tip: Matching Tape Type to Surface Texture

Standard TZe tapes are engineered for flat, rigid surfaces like plastics and metal cabinets. When labelling plastic storage tubs, textured switchboards or industrial machinery, select TZe-S strong adhesive tape instead. The modified adhesive fills tiny surface gaps to prevent edges from peeling off over time.

Frequently Asked Questions

What tape widths fit the Brother PT-H300Li?

The Brother PT-H300Li accepts Brother TZe tape cassettes in widths of 3.5mm, 6mm, 9mm, 12mm and 18mm. Part numbers ending in 11 indicate 6mm, 21 indicate 9mm, 31 indicate 12mm, and 41 indicate 18mm width.

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

Standard TZe laminated tapes feature a protective top layer suitable for smooth indoor and outdoor surfaces. TZe-S tapes use an enhanced adhesive formulation engineered to stick to textured, rough, plastic or powder-coated surfaces where standard adhesives might lift.

Can I use flexible ID tape in the PT-H300Li for wrapping cables?

Yes, the PT-H300Li is fully compatible with TZe-FX flexible ID tapes (such as TZe-FX231). These tapes use a pliable laminate that wraps smoothly around cables, curved tubing and wire bundles without lifting at the edge.

Does the Brother PT-H300Li require separate ink or ribbon cartridges?

No, the Brother PT-H300Li uses thermal transfer technology built directly into each TZe tape cassette. The cassette contains both the print ribbon and label material layer, so no separate ink or toner cartridges are required.
