- Know what makes each tape unique
- Choose the tape that lets you do what you do best
Know What You’re Labeling
Getting ahead takes organization, and that means seeing everything in your work environment clearly. So, know what you're labeling before you choose your label tape. What is it? Folders, binders, badges, glass, plastic, beakers, test tubes, pipes, electrical fittings, cables, cases — they all need label tape with different adhesive strength and durability. Keeping every label intact and clear, and, of course, keeping the labeled object clean and undamaged as well.
Remember the Six Essentials Before Buying Labels
- Adhesive strength
- Abrasion resistance
- Chemical resistance
- Water resistance
- Fading resistance
- Temperature withstanding
Every Brother tape clearly displays a specific strength and a suggested environment to use it in to make your decision a confident one. Whether it's working with fabrics in a sophisticated studio, or organizing a network patch panel, selecting the right tape features will make every application successful.
