Label tape Brother TZe-431 12 mm x 8 m, black on red

Brother TZe-431 12 mm x 8 m label tape produces black text on a red background using a laminated film designed for use with compatible Brother label printers. The tape is 12 mm wide and 8 m long, and its laminated surface provides resistance to water, fading, and everyday abrasion. It is intended for clear, long-lasting identification of cables, shelves, boxes, storage containers and general office or home organisation where a high-contrast red background improves visibility.

Advantages

The laminated construction ensures printed text resists water, chemicals and UV exposure better than non-laminated tapes, extending label life in indoor and light outdoor environments. The 12 mm width strikes a balance between compact labelling and readable characters, while the red background with black text offers strong contrast for quick visual recognition. Installation into compatible Brother printers is straightforward, allowing consistent print quality and reliable feeding.

Suitable for

• Labelling cables and wiring in offices and workshops

• Marking equipment, panels and switchboards
• Creating visible notices, warnings or colour-coded labels

How to use

Install the tape cassette into a compatible Brother label printer according to the printer’s user guide. Design text, symbols or barcodes using the printer’s built-in templates or connected software, select the 12 mm tape width in settings, then print. After printing, peel or remove the backing as required and apply the label to a clean, dry surface, pressing firmly to ensure adhesion. For curved or textured surfaces, smooth the label during application to minimise air pockets.

Usage recommendations

Store unused tape cassettes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve adhesive and print quality. For best adhesion, clean surfaces of dust, oil and moisture before applying labels. While laminated tape improves resistance, avoid prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals or extreme outdoor conditions to maintain legibility.
