With a Brother P-touch electronic labeller you can produce clear and professional labels, making it easy for you to see the difference between something that helps your plants grow and something you should be spraying on the weeds.
P-touch patented laminated tapes are waterproof and resistant to sunlight and are ideal for labelling your plants and gardening accessories. They don’t peel off or fade even after years, unlike many handwritten labels, and since they are resistant to chemicals, watering with your favourite plant food won’t harm them either.
Brother’s patented laminated tapes are durable, resistant to extreme temperatures, water and chemicals and are non toxic.
Whether you’re down in the greenhouse or potting shed, a portable handheld Pt-ouch electronic labeller will become your most useful tool. Operated using batteries or mains power, it can be used anywhere around your garden.
PLEASE NOTE: information on tests is only for the laminated tapes

Fading Resistance
In tests performed to simulate a year of outdoor conditions (with tapes subjected to heat, light and water) ink remained unchanged and all characters were completely legible, with only yellow tape showing some fading. Reduced the need to reproduce labels and convenient for environments where legibility over time is important. |

 |
Temperature Resistance
Brother's P-touch tapes retain their integrity even at extremely high temperatures. In tests performed, decomposition of the tapes did not begin until the temperature reached 365 degrees Celsius. In refrigeration environments -during adhesion tests, even at -80 degrees Celsius, there were no adhesive strength problems, ink or tape changes. |

Chemical & Water Resistance
The laminated tapes were tested in a variety of chemicals for two hours, and despite some changes in appearance and structure, all tapes remained affixed to their slides. Rubbing the labels with cloths soaked in the same chemicals had no effect on the tape. |

|
 |
Abrasion Resistance
Tapes were tested with a weighted (1kg) sane eraser device. After 50 "return" passes, Brother's tapes' lamination was only slightly scratched. The characters underneath were completely unaffected. |

|
 |
Adhesive Strength
P-touch tapes remained affixed after exposure to heat and cold and exposure to high temperature and humidity. The labels also remained affixed after adhesion to rounded objects and adhesion to rough |

 |
Dielectric Strength
In tests performed by Brother white P-touch tapes with Black characters began to lose their electric resistance at 8kv and lost their resistance entirely at 11kv. |

Non Toxic Tape
Brother had its tapes tested by an official Japanese government food research laboratory and met the food sanitation law of Japan as safe for use near food.
The laminated tapes also passed skin irritation tests. |
