Label Printers

 

The first thing to sort out with a label printer is tape or roll. Tape labellers like the Brother P-touch and Dymo LabelManager print laminated strips for shelves, cables, folders and asset tags, and most run without a computer. Roll printers like the Dymo LabelWriter and Brother QL print die-cut address, shipping and barcode labels from a roll, which is what a mailroom or online seller wants. Past that it comes down to scale, from a handheld for the office through to an industrial barcode printer.

A tape labeller prints a laminated strip you cut to length, for shelves, cables and asset labels, and usually works without a computer. A roll printer feeds pre-cut labels from a roll for addresses, shipping and barcodes, and is built to print a lot of them quickly. Pick tape for general labelling, roll for posting and order fulfilment.

No. These printers use thermal printing. Tape labellers print onto coated tape and roll printers print onto coated label stock, so there's nothing to refill except the tape or label roll itself.

Yes. Bluetooth models like the Brother PTP710BT and the networked QL printers connect to a free app, so you design the label on your phone or computer with fonts, symbols and barcodes and send it to print.

A roll printer like the Dymo LabelWriter 550 or a Brother QL. They print address and shipping labels at the right size from a roll, and the networked models let more than one person send labels to them.

An industrial thermal-transfer printer such as the Zebra ZD421 or a Honeywell unit. They handle higher volumes and print durable barcodes that survive handling and storage, and they connect into stock systems by USB, Bluetooth or Ethernet.

Each machine takes specific media. Brother P-touch labellers use TZe tape in the width your model accepts, and roll printers use the label size they're built for. We stock matching tapes and rolls in our labels and tags range, so check your model and order the media that fits.

Tape labellers

Tape labellers print a laminated strip from a cassette, the kind you stick on a shelf edge, a cable, a folder spine or a piece of equipment. They're built to last, resist water and rubbing, and the handheld models like the Brother PTH110 work straight away with a built-in keyboard, no computer required. Bluetooth models like the Brother PTP710BT let you design the label on your phone first. Brother machines use TZe tape, which comes in a range of widths and colours, and the width the machine accepts is listed on each model.

Roll label printers

Roll printers feed die-cut labels from a roll and use direct thermal printing, so there's no ink, toner or ribbon to buy. The Dymo LabelWriter 550 and Brother QL range are the everyday choice for address, shipping, barcode and name labels, and the networked models like the Brother QL820NWB let several people or a phone send labels over Wi-Fi. If you post orders or run a busy reception, this is the type to look at.

Industrial and barcode printers

For higher volumes and tougher labels, Zebra and Honeywell printers use thermal transfer, which prints onto durable label stock that stands up to handling, cold and outdoor use. The Zebra ZD421 sits on a desk for product and stock labelling, while mobile units like the Zebra ZQ521 print barcodes out in a warehouse or on a round. These connect by USB, Bluetooth and Ethernet so they slot into a stock or dispatch system.

Specialist labellers

Some jobs need a purpose-built machine. The Dymo Rhino industrial labellers print on vinyl and heat-shrink tube with shortcuts for cable wrap, flag and patch-panel labels, which is why electricians and cablers use them. The Colop e-Mark is a mobile colour printer that prints onto paper and wristbands rather than tape or rolls.

Matching the labels to the machine

Each printer takes its own media, and using the right one matters. Tape labellers need the correct cassette (Brother TZe tape in the width your model accepts), and roll printers need the label size and type the printer is built for. We stock the matching tapes and label rolls so you can keep a machine running, in our labels and tags range.
