b-PAC

Enables printing of labels directly from custom software, or
from Microsoft Office suite of applications, such as
Microsoft Word and Excel. The programmer uses b-PAC
to produce a bespoke system, so you won’t have to learn
how to use a new software package. Further information
and downloads can be found at

Has twice the adhesive strength of standard
laminated tape, making it ideal for industrial or
harsh environments.

TZ tape - Laminated

TZ tapes available for use with the P-touch 9500PC range from
widths of 6mm to 36mm. With the extra space available in 36mm
tape, you can incorporate sizeable images into the label design,
or print small labels vertically so that the tape itself will last much
longer.

your printing options and improve labelling performance.

Brother Laminated Tape Construction

LAMINATED BROTHER TAPES WITH PATENTED BROTHER UNDER-TAPE PRINTING

•

•

•

Options include standard laminated tape including fluorescent and
transparent options. Specialist tapes include Matt, Strong
Adhesive, Tamper Evident Tape, Iron on Fabric Tape, and Flexible
ID Tape. All are available in varying widths, character and tape
colour options.
Tape widths of 6,9,12,18, 24 and 36mm
Standard tape length of 8m*

*Providing approximately 100 labels. (based on 10 characters & standard label length 8cm)

Longer Lasting Labels

Brother’s unique, patented TZ tapes are designed to be extra hard
wearing. Tests have shown that these scratch-proof labels can
withstand heavy abrasion, electrical resistance and lengthy exposure
to chemicals, sunlight, water and extreme temperatures from -50 C to
300 C. Brother laminated tapes consist of six layers of materials,
resulting in a thin, extremely strong label. Characters formed with
thermal transfer ink are actually printed onto the underside of the
laminate. Sandwiched between two layers of PET (polyester film) this
lets you create characters that are virtually indestructible.

PRINTS VARIOUS
COLOURS

All tapes are 8m except fluorescent tape (5m) and iron-on fabric tape (3m).
Cleaning cassette can be used approximately 100 times.
Some kinds of tapes are not available in some countries.
