Brother PT-P700 Label Tape

Tape Length and Replacement Planning

Standard Brother TZe tape cassettes are typically supplied in 8-metre lengths, providing ample output for daily labelling needs. Speciality tapes such as TZe-FX flexible ID cassettes and TZe-S strong adhesive tapes also come in standard cassette lengths, while HSe heat-shrink tube cassettes are supplied in 1.5-metre lengths designed specifically for electrical wire sleeving. Planning tape purchases around width and job volume helps ensure continuous supply for high-volume tasks.

Selecting Tape Widths and Speciality Materials

The Brother PT-P700 accommodates multiple tape widths ranging from 3.5mm up to 24mm. Choosing the right material ensures durable and readable results across different surfaces:

• Standard Laminated TZe Tapes: Suitable for smooth, flat indoor and outdoor surfaces, including file folders, storage boxes and equipment tags (e.g. TZe-131, TZe-231, TZe-241).
• Strong Adhesive TZe-S Tapes: Formulated with high-tack adhesive for textured, rough or powder-coated metal surfaces (e.g. TZe-S231, TZe-S251).
• Flexible ID TZe-FX Tapes: Designed for wrapping around wires, cables and curved tubing without flagging or peeling (e.g. TZe-FX231, TZe-FX251).
• HSe Heat-Shrink Tubes: Shrinks securely onto wires and cables when heated for permanent, professional electrical identification (e.g. HSe-211E, HSe-231E).
• STe Stencil Tapes: Thermal stencil tape used for electrochemical etching or direct part marking (e.g. STe-141, STe-151).

Ordering Tape for Everyday Labelling

When ordering tape cassettes for your desktop labeller, select 6mm or 9mm widths for thin folder tabs, 12mm or 18mm for standard storage boxes, and 24mm for high-visibility multi-line asset tags. Multipacks and multi-cassette bundles offer convenient reordering options when managing regular office labelling tasks.

Pro Tip: Surface Preparation and Wire Marking

For maximum adhesion on rough or powder-coated surfaces, ensure the surface is clean and dry before applying strong-adhesive TZe-S tapes. When marking electrical cables, choose HSe heat-shrink tubes that match the wire diameter prior to shrinking with a suitable heat source.
