Heat-shrink tube label HSe-231 12 mm × 1.5 m black on white — replacement for Brother

Heat-shrink tube label HSe-231 12 mm × 1.5 m black on white is a flexible, shrinkable identification tape designed for marking cables, wires and small components. This replacement tape is compatible with Brother HSe-231 label printers and produces black text on a white background. After application and heat shrinking it provides a compact, legible marking that conforms to the shape of the wire or connector, improving clarity and space efficiency in electrical, networking and maintenance environments.

Advantages

The 12 mm width offers a balance between readable text and compact size for tight cable bundles. The shrinkable construction ensures the label grips the wire after heat application, reducing the risk of peeling or shifting. The black-on-white printing maximizes contrast for durable legibility, and the 1.5 m length supplies enough tape for multiple labels or longer projects. The material resists light mechanical abrasion and maintains clarity after shrinkage.

Suitable for

• Marking electrical wires and power cables
• Labeling network and telecom cabling
• Identifying connectors, terminals and harnesses
• Maintenance, service and equipment tagging

Key specifications

• Tape type: heat-shrink tube label
• Printed color: black text on white backing
• Usable width: 12 mm
• Length: 1.5 m
• Compatibility: designed for use with label printers that accept HSe-231 compatible cartridges
• Performance: shrinks to conform to wire diameter for secure marking

How to use

Cut a length of heat-shrink tube label sufficient to wrap around the cable or component with a small overlap. Print the required text using a compatible label printer following the printer's settings for 12 mm heat-shrink tape. Slide the printed tube over the cable or place it on the component, then apply heat evenly using a heat gun or controlled heat source until the tube shrinks and conforms tightly around the object. Allow the label to cool before handling to ensure a secure fit.

Usage recommendations

For best results, select a heat source that provides even, controllable heat to avoid overheating printed characters. Test on a sample length for specific cable diameters, and ensure printed text size is appropriate for 12 mm width to maintain legibility after shrinkage.
