The VC-500W can print from Windows PCs and both Android and iOS phones and tablets. Image quality for graphics and text was excellent in our tests, offering vibrant color, minimal graininess, and respectable detail, the last thanks to the 313dpi resolution. Photos were also acceptable, though not a match for the best Zink photo printers. The label tapes come in four widths from 9mm to 50mm (0.37 to 1.97 inches) wide, at continuous lengths of 16.4 feet. Who It's For

Each shippable unit (by this, they mean each unit that will be shipped to your customer; if you are selling a gift set, the entire set would be a shippable unit, but if you were selling the items separately each item would be a shippable unit) has to have a visible barcode. To help you find the right option, we tested 13 label makers in a home setting. To get started, we inspected the design, printed tags, and explored the various functions. Then, we evaluated each maker on instructions, assembly, functionality, portability, and overall value.

Brother P-touch Cube Plus

In conclusion, the heavy label market is highly competitive, with key players like Brady, Uline, Avery Dennison, Seton, Brown & Pratt, and Universal Tag Inc. dominating the industry. These companies have a strong market presence, a history of consistent growth, and a diverse range of heavy label products. While the exact sales revenue for the companies is not provided, the overall heavy label market is projected to grow in the coming years. Our best overall is the Dymo LabelManager 280 Label Maker. It's a high-quality, handheld label maker with a full QWERTY-style keyboard, rechargeable battery, and customization options. For our best budget option, we recommend the Dymo Organizer Xpress Pro. It's a user-friendly embossing labeler with rotary-style lettering, offering a lot at a very agreeable price tag. How We Tested the Label Makers The biggest difference? The latest version offers Bluetooth capabilities, along with a USB cable that gives you the option to print from a computer or mobile device like your phone. It still has a full QWERTY keyboard for on-the-spot printing, too, as well as a full-color screen and full QWERTY keyboard, plus an impressive selection of fonts and customizable lettering options. One of our favorite features from testing the Brother PTD600 was the ability to power it with an adapter or wirelessly with batteries, and we're happy to report that this is also available in the newer model.

You’ve placed the label on a flat surface. If it’s around corners or curves, the label will not be scannable. If you need more than one type of label, you'll need to also guess how much of each type you'll use. But the basic approach remains the same. The Epson LabelWorks LW-PX800 delivers solid performance as a heavy-duty standalone label printer. It's a desktop model meant for the office, with the ability to share the printer over a network and connect to mobile devices. Plus, it's covered by a lifetime warranty, and it comes with both Mac and PC label-printing apps. Setup: First, assembly of each label maker was completed. We timed how long it took to take the product out of the box and prepare it for use, and recorded how useful and detailed the included instructions were. If you are specifically hoping to organize your living space, the Epson LabelWorks PX 300 Label Maker is a superb choice. As we tested, we noticed there are several preloaded fonts, and it also allows you to add customizable text styles, icons, and banners. (Plus, it comes with a lifetime warranty!)If you are specifically looking for a desktop labeler, the Brother P-Touch PT- D610BTVP Business Professional Connected Label Maker is our top choice. We want to be clear that we tested an older model, the Brother PTD600 PC-Connectable Labeler. But, with that option now discontinued, and this updated version available in its place, we're excited about the possibilities. When we tested the previous version, we gave it high marks for going above and beyond the basic functionality of some of its peers, and we're glad to see that Brother has offered even more in its next iteration. While this is one of the pricier label makers on the market, we think the abundance of features makes it a reasonable value. However, if you want to protect your investment with the brand's hard-shell case, note that it's sold separately. Portability: While using it, we also took note of its portability: how heavy the label maker is and how much space it actually takes up.

Bluetooth is also supported by many label printers, as is Ethernet, Wi-Fi, and Wi-Fi Direct. Ethernet and Wi-Fi, of course, make the printer available on your network, so any computer or mobile devices on the network can send it a print job—assuming the proper software is installed. Bluetooth and Wi-Fi Direct create peer-to-peer connections between the printer and a mobile device or PC. In conclusion, the heavy label market is experiencing steady growth, driven by the need for durable and compliant labeling solutions in various industries. The use of advanced materials, compliance requirements, and the adoption of digital printing techniques are some of the key trends shaping the market. With a projected CAGR of %, the heavy label market is expected to expand significantly in the coming years. QWERTY keyboard: Most modern label maker options have a full, QWERTY-style keyboard. This format, which you'll know as the standard typewriter keyboard layout, is generally ideal for adults. The Brother P-touch Cube Plus is misnamed—it's more of a cube minus, shaped like half a cube at 5 by 2.6 by 5 inches (HWD). But that doesn't stop it from being a solid choice. A head-to-head competitor to Epson's LW-PX400, it offers many of the same key features, including an automatic cutter; a similar range of tape widths, from 3.5mm to 24mm (0.14 to 0.94 inch); and the ability to connect to Windows and macOS systems for printing on your desktop, or to Android and iOS devices for printing on the go. Extras for the Cube Plus include a rechargeable battery and faster speed than the LW-PX400. It's rated at 130% faster, and indeed came in faster on our testing, although the results were recorded using different generations of our test protocol, and so aren't fully comparable. Who It's ForThe problem with USB is that the labeler must always be tethered to another device, making it more difficult to move the printer around. In addition, printing devices that connect solely via USB generally limit you to printing from only the one PC they're connected to, unless you take the time to set up something to act as a print server. (You can set Windows, for example, to share any USB-connected printer, so other PCs on the network can use it.) The heavy label market is highly competitive, with several key players global players dominating the industry. Some of the major companies operating in this space include Brady, Uline, Avery Dennison, Seton, Brown & Pratt, and Universal Tag Inc. The heavy label market has witnessed remarkable growth in regions including North America (NA), Asia-Pacific (APAC), Europe, the United States, and China. The North American market is expected to dominate the industry due to the rapid growth of e-commerce and retail sectors. In terms of market share percentage valuation, it is projected to account for around 40%. The Asia-Pacific region, propelled by the expanding manufacturing sector and increasing consumer awareness, is anticipated to exhibit substantial growth, capturing approximately 30% of the heavy label market. Europe, the United States, and China are also expected to maintain substantial market shares, each representing around 15%, 10%, and 5% respectively. Overall value: Overall value was evaluated while thinking about the experience with it and the price tag.

Our advice? Go with the device that has the features and functionality that are most important to you, regardless of its label (pun intended). Another important factor in choosing a labeler is deciding how and where you're going to use it, which helps determine what type of connection(s) you need. Many label printers support more than one connection type, but some support only one, with USB being the most common. Not only is it used for connecting to your computer, but for the many labelers that come with internal batteries, it's one of the more common ways to recharge them. Rotary-style keyboard: This type of keyboard is not as time-efficient, but typically costs less and condenses the label maker's keyboard into a rotating wheel. For example, our best budget recommendation, the Dymo Organizer Xpress Pro Embossing Label Maker, has a rotary-style design.
