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
12 mm cassette; the number of labels depends on text length and margins.
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; use as per the device instructions. Store cassettes away from heat and direct light.
Use and tips
The BTAG-231 (12 mm) suits folders, binders, bins and office labels.
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 BTAG-231 compatible with my Brother device?
Yes if it appears in the list above (PT-N10 to PT-N25BT). 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.
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.
