Twenty Four Millimetre Labels That Read From Across The Room
The Brother TZe-253 is a genuine 24mm laminated cassette carrying 8 metres of blue on white tape, the widest format the mid range P-touch machines accept.
Width is the decision most people get wrong. At 24mm a label carries up to seven lines, or one line large enough to read from the other side of a storeroom, which is why this size ends up on shelf edges, plant and safety signage rather than file spines. It is also the width that will not fit half our range, so check the machine before ordering.
Brother tested the laminate for 30 days immersed in water and in five per cent salt solution with no effect on adhesion or print, across solvents, acids and alkalis with no print discolouration, and under an abrasion rig that wore the laminate while leaving the characters legible. Under 478 hours of simulated sunlight, about a year outdoors, the print stayed readable.
The construction is what does the work: six layers with the thermal print sealed between two PET films and an acrylic adhesive underneath, so the ink is never on the surface where it can be scratched or washed off. Brother describes the adhesive as removable without leaving residue.
This cassette fits the Brother PT-E560BTVP and the PT-D610BT, along with the PT-P700, PT-P710BT, PT-P750W, PT-P900W, PT-E920BT, PT-P910BT and PT-P950NW. It will not fit the PT-E310BTVP or PT-D460BT, which stop at 18mm, nor the PT-H105, PT-D210, PT-P300BT or PT-E110VP, which stop at 12mm. Other widths and colours are in the Brother TZe tape range, and the machines are in Brother P-Touch label makers.
