Technical Information

P-touch 2700

Tape Widths

Abrasion Resistant – In the P-touch abrasion test using a 1kg
sanding device, lettering remained completely intact, only the
protective layer was slightly scratched.

Temperature Resistant – P-touch labels can withstand
extreme temperatures, from -80°C to 150°C.

Chemical Resistant – after being submerged for 2 hours in a
variety of chemical substances, no change in appearance or
structure of P-touch labels occurred and the labels remained
affixed.

Water Resistant – after submersion in water over a long peri­od, the tape structure and adhesive strength of P-touch labels
remained unchanged.

Fade Resistant – after a year in a simulated sunny climate P­touch labels showed very little change visible to the naked
eye.

Laminated – our unique laminated tape technology ensures
that a layer of super-clear polyethylene laminate protects your
text.

Strong Adhesion – specially developed adhesive means P­touch labels will stay firmly affixed to a wide range of sur­faces.

Easy Peel – enables convenient removal of the tape backing
before applying the label.

Brother P-touch labels have been subjected to a series of rigorous
tests which prove that even when they’re exposed to extreme condi­tions our labels have been designed to last.

Unlike ordinary labels, Brother’s patented laminated tape technology
ensures that a layer of super clear polyethylene laminate protects your
text. Our laminated tapes consist of six layers of materials, resulting in a
thin, extremely strong label.

Characters formed with thermal transfer ink are actually printed on the
underside of the laminate and sandwiched between layers of PET (poly­ester film). This lets you create characters that are virtually indestructi­ble on labels that stand the test of time.
