Label tape Brother P-touch TZ-131, black on transparent, 12 mm

Brother P-touch TZ-131 label tape, 12 mm wide, prints black text on a transparent background to produce discrete, easy-to-read labels. Compatible with Brother P-touch label makers that accept TZ/TZe tapes, this tape is intended for everyday office, home and light industrial use where a clear, unobtrusive label is required. The 12 mm width provides a balance between compact appearance and readable text for asset tags, cable markers, file labels and small signage.

Advantages

How to use

Install the TZ-131 cassette into a compatible Brother P-touch label maker following the device's cartridge insertion instructions. Design the label using the label maker's keyboard or software, selecting appropriate font size and alignment for a 12 mm width. Print the label, then peel the backing and apply the transparent tape to a clean, dry surface. Press firmly to ensure adhesion and allow a few seconds for full contact on non-porous surfaces.

Usage recommendations

For best results, apply labels to surfaces that are clean, dry and free of oils or dust. Avoid prolonged outdoor exposure in direct sunlight and extreme weather when using transparent tapes indoors; for long-term outdoor applications choose a tape specifically rated for outdoor durability. Test adhesion on textured or painted surfaces before full application, and store unused cartridges in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
