Tape Widths
Abrasion Resistant – In the P-touch abrasion test using a 1kg
sanding device, lettering remained completely intact, only the
protective layer was slightly scratched.
Temperature Resistant – P-touch labels can withstand
extreme temperatures, from -80°C to 150°C.
Chemical Resistant – after being submerged for 2 hours in a
variety of chemical substances, no change in appearance or
structure of P-touch labels occurred and the labels remained
affixed.
Water Resistant – after submersion in water over a long peri-
od, the tape structure and adhesive strength of P-touch labels
remained unchanged.
Fade Resistant – after a year in a simulated sunny climate P-
touch labels showed very little change visible to the naked
eye.
Laminated – our unique laminated tape technology ensures
that a layer of super-clear polyethylene laminate protects your
text.
Strong Adhesion – specially developed adhesive means P-
touch labels will stay firmly affixed to a wide range of sur-
faces.
Easy Peel – enables convenient removal of the tape backing
before applying the label.
Brother P-touch labels have been subjected to a series of rigorous
tests which prove that even when they’re exposed to extreme condi-
tions our labels have been designed to last.
Unlike ordinary labels, Brother’s patented laminated tape technology
ensures that a layer of super clear polyethylene laminate protects your
text. Our laminated tapes consist of six layers of materials, resulting in a
thin, extremely strong label.
Characters formed with thermal transfer ink are actually printed on the
underside of the laminate and sandwiched between layers of PET (poly-
ester film). This lets you create characters that are virtually indestructi-
ble on labels that stand the test of time.
