With a width of 12 mm (1.2 cm) and a generous length of 8 m, this tape delivers long‑lasting, clear labels suitable for a wide variety of industrial, commercial, and home applications.
Key Features & Specifications
- Print Technology: Direct thermal transfer – ensures sharp, durable prints that resist fading, moisture, and abrasion.
- Colour Scheme: Classic black on white – ideal for high‑contrast identification, inventory tracking, and safety labeling.
- Lamination: Non‑laminated – provides a natural feel and reduces the risk of peeling or curling under heat.
- Material: Premium polyester base offers excellent flexibility and resistance to environmental factors.
- Width & Length: 12 mm wide, 8 m long – balances label size with efficient usage for medium‑to‑large volume printing.
- Compatibility: Works seamlessly with a broad spectrum of Brother P‑Touch models, including PT‑200 through PT‑9600 series and many specialized units such as PT‑1000, PT‑1200P, PT‑1250J, PT‑1280, PT‑1750, PT‑2400E, PT‑3600, PT‑9200DX, PT‑9500PC, and more.

Why Choose the TZe‑N231?
The TZe‑N231 is engineered to meet demanding labeling needs while maintaining ease of use. Its direct thermal transfer capability produces crisp, long‑lasting text that remains legible even in harsh conditions. The non‑laminated construction eliminates the need for additional protective layers, reducing material costs and simplifying handling.
Applications Across Industries
This tape excels in numerous settings:
- Manufacturing & Warehousing: Product identification, batch numbers, expiry dates.
- Healthcare: Patient wristbands, specimen labeling, medication tracking.
- Logistics: Shipping labels, pallet marking, route information.
- Retail & Hospitality: Price tags, inventory control, room signage.
- Laboratory & Research: Sample labeling, chemical hazard identification.
Installation & Usage Tips
To achieve optimal results with the TZe‑N231:
- Ensure the printer head is clean and properly aligned before loading the tape.
- Load the tape so that the adhesive side faces the platen, following the manufacturer’s orientation guidelines.
- Set the printer to direct thermal transfer mode; avoid using inkjet or laser settings.
- Print at recommended temperature and speed parameters for Brother P‑Touch models to prevent smearing.
- Store unused rolls in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve adhesive integrity.
Maintenance & Longevity
The non‑laminated polyester base resists dust and moisture, but regular cleaning of the printer head with a lint‑free cloth will prolong tape life. If labels begin to fade after prolonged exposure to light or heat, consider switching to a laminated variant for added durability.
