The Tube Printer with Multiple Features
Brother’s PT-E850TKW Tube Printer
Professional Laminated Label

Brother’s TZe laminated tapes consist of six layers of materials, resulting in a thin and extremely strong label. Characters are formed using thermal transfer ink that is sandwiched between two protective layers of PET (polyethylene film) which protect the text against the effects of liquids, abrasion, temperature, chemicals, and sunlight. Click here to watch how laminated labels can withstand tough environments.
As TZe laminated labels are tested to the extreme and can withstand tough conditions, professional quality labels have been designed to last. Click here to see the durability test data of Brother’s TZe laminated labels.
