Brother TZe-FX221 Flexible Laminated Tape, 9 mm x 8 m, Black on White

The Brother TZe-FX221 is a high-quality flexible laminated tape designed specifically for P-touch label printers. Measuring 9 mm in width and 8 m in length, this tape features clear black text on a white background, ensuring excellent readability. Its specialized flexible adhesive is engineered to wrap securely around curved surfaces, making it an essential tool for professional cable and wire management.

Advantages

This tape offers superior durability due to its laminated construction, which protects the printed text from water, chemicals, abrasion, sunlight, and extreme temperature fluctuations. The flexible material is specifically formulated to maintain a strong bond on cylindrical objects, preventing the label from peeling or lifting over time. It provides a professional, long-lasting identification solution that remains legible even in demanding industrial or office environments.

Suitable for

• Wrapping around cables and wires with a diameter of 3 mm or larger
• Creating flag labels for electrical and network cabling
• Labeling pipes, conduits, and other tightly curved surfaces
• Professional identification in industrial and office settings

When it may not be suitable

This tape is not intended for use on flat, textured, or porous surfaces where standard non-flexible adhesive tapes would perform better. It is also not designed for applications requiring permanent bonding to fabrics or highly irregular, non-cylindrical shapes.

Key specifications

• Tape width: 9 mm
• Tape length: 8 m
• Color: Black text on white background
• Technology: Thermal transfer
• Compatibility: Brother P-touch printers
• Features: Flexible, laminated, water-resistant, chemical-resistant, cold-resistant

How to use

To use the Brother TZe-FX221, simply insert the tape cassette into your compatible Brother P-touch label printer. Once installed, type your desired text or barcode into the device. For cable wrapping, ensure the cable surface is clean and dry before application. Peel the backing and wrap the label around the wire, overlapping the ends to ensure a secure, long-term hold. For flag labels, fold the label around the wire so the adhesive sides stick to each other.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your P-touch printer supports 9 mm wide TZe tapes
• Ensure the diameter of the cables or pipes you intend to label is at least 3 mm
• Consider the environmental conditions of your workspace to ensure the laminated properties meet your needs

Usage recommendations

For the best results, always clean the surface of the cable or pipe with an alcohol-based cleaner before applying the label to remove dust or grease, which ensures the adhesive achieves maximum bond strength.
