Labels that last

Why do Brother P-touch

laminated labels last longer?

Unlike ordinary labels, Brother P-touch

laminated TZ tapes consist of six layers of

materials, resulting in a thin, extremely strong

label. Characters are formed with a thermal

transfer ink and sandwiched between two

protective layers of PET (polyester film).

The result is a virtually indestructible label that

can withstand even the harshest conditions.

Tested to the extreme

We are sure about the durability of our labels

because we've tested them to the extreme,

against the effects of abrasion, temperature,

chemicals and sunlight. Results prove that

Brother P-touch laminated labels outperform

competitor labels, staying legible and affixed,

so you can be confident of a professional

quality label that has been designed to last.

Tested to the extreme

Abrasion Test: A 1kg sanding device was passed over Brother P-touch laminated

labels, and non-laminated competitor labels. After 50 return passes the characters

underneath the P-touch laminated label were completely unaffected and the

lamination was only slightly scratched. The characters on the competitor labels

were affected by this test

Strong Adhesive Test: Standard tape and extra strength adhesive tape were

affixed to a variety of surfaces and left for 30 minutes. Adhesive strength was

tested by removing the tape at an angle of 180 degrees. Our strong adhesive

tape maintained an average of 50% more adhesive strength compared to

standard tapes.

Chemical Test: Tapes were immersed in various liquids for 2 hours, and no

change in the labels' appearance or structure occurred. Although some labels

soaked in certain chemicals showed minor changes, rubbing the labels with the

same chemicals had no effect at all. A 500g weight with a chemical and solvent

infused cloth was passed over each label 20 times, and the print quality of P-touch

laminated labels were unaffected, unlike the competitors' non-laminated labels.

Fade Test: Several Brother P-touch laminated labels were attached to coated

metal plates and placed inside a fade-inducing chamber at 83°C and left for a

period of 100 hours to simulate a year in sunny surroundings. The text colour

remained unchanged and was still completely legible. To the naked eye, the

tapes' background colour showed no change, except for the yellow tape which

Temperature Resistant Labels: P-touch laminated labels, slightly roughened

with abrasive paper, were attached to stainless steel then heated and cooled.

After 240 hours at -80°C no noticeable change in the tapes' adhesive or colour

had occurred. After 240 hours at 150°C, despite slight discolouration, the text on

the labels remained completely intact*. The black on matt silver tapes are most

*When tape is subject to extremely high temperatures for long periods, the laminate film may be separated or become discoloured, or it

may shrink. For more detailed information on the tests performed, please contact your local Brother office.
