The TZe tapes also fit in the least expensive Brother P-Touch machines. This one cost just $9.99 at Staples. When I drop it and break it, and this happens, I feel much less of a wallet dent than dropping an $800.00 Rhino Commercial label maker.


For marking duplex, triplex and battery cable I will often write on the jacket with a Sharpie marker first. This serves as a back up to the actual label.

Here I've labeled the wire with the Sharpie, printed the P-Touch TZe label and cut the clear heat shrink.
