1. Laminated label

Brother’s TZe laminated tapes consist of six layers of materials, resulting in a thin yet extremely strong label. The direct thermal transfer ink is sandwiched between two protective layers of PET (polyester film) which protect the text against the effects of liquids, abrasion, temperature, chemicals, and sunlight. As the labels have been tested to the extreme, professional-quality labels will last.

There are many uses of the long- lasting and durable TZe laminated labels in various places including home, offices, and shops. Labels can be used on shampoo bottles, soap bottles, solvent bottles for cosmetics and ethanol bottles for disinfecting.

Matt laminated tape is also available which provides a non-shiny finishing and professional look on products.
