Why choose the genuine Brother TZe-611 laminated tape
Genuine Brother TZe laminated tape: characters are printed by thermal transfer and sealed under a clear protective film. The label resists water, abrasion, common chemicals, UV and temperatures from -80 to +150 °C; the text does not rub off or fade, indoors or outdoors.
Which width, which color?
The TZe-611 tape comes in 6 widths for this color combination: TZe-611 (6 mm), TZe-621 (9 mm), TZe-631 (12 mm), TZe-641 (18 mm), TZe-651 (24 mm), TZe-661 (36 mm). Choose the width for the legibility you need and the maximum tape width your label maker accepts (6 to 36 mm depending on the model). In 6 mm, the same range also comes in white on black (TZe-315), black on white (TZe-211). Same color and width in other versions: flexible id tape (TZe-FX611).
Label makers compatible with the TZe-611
The TZe-611 is compatible with 77 Brother models (manufacturer list):
All P-touch label makers that accept TZe cassettes of this width are compatible; check the maximum tape width printed on your device.
Length and yield
8 m of tape, i.e. about 100 labels of 8 cm; label makers add a margin before and after the text (adjustable on most models). The label maker does not track the remaining length: keep a spare cassette.
Use
Open the label maker compartment, take up any slack in the ink ribbon, insert the cassette until it clicks and close; feed the tape once for the first cut. Apply the label to a clean, dry surface and smooth it down; the split backing of most TZe tapes makes the liner easy to remove. Store cassettes away from heat and direct light.
Use and tips
The TZe-611 (6 mm) suits cables, small items and keyboard keys. One 8 m cassette yields about 133 labels of 6 cm; the actual number depends on margins and text length.
Store cassettes in their packaging, away from heat and sunlight; they do not dry out and keep for several years. For a durable label, apply it to a clean, dry, grease-free surface and smooth it down; wait 24 h before exposure to water or abrasion. The split backing of laminated TZe tapes makes the liner easy to remove. Genuine cassettes ensure a clean cut and format recognition by the label maker.

Frequently asked questions
Is the TZe-611 compatible with my Brother device?
Yes if it appears in the list above (GL-100 to PT-P950NW). If in doubt, compare the exact reference of your device.
What is the difference between laminated and non-laminated tape?
Laminated tape protects the text under a clear film: it resists water, friction and UV. Non-laminated tape suits indoor use at a lower cost.
How many labels can I print with the TZe-611?
About 100 labels of 8 cm with 8 m of tape; it depends on the text length and margins.
Are TZe tapes suitable for outdoor use?
Yes for laminated tapes: they withstand rain, sun and temperatures from -80 to +150 °C. Clean and dry the surface before applying.
Is an old TZ tape the same as TZe?
Yes, TZe is the new name of TZ tapes; they are interchangeable on all P-touch label makers.
