Why choose the genuine Brother TZe-PR831 premium laminated tape
Genuine Brother TZe-PR premium laminated tape: shiny gold or silver metallic background under a protective laminate. For gifts, events and refined labels; text resistant to water and abrasion.
Which width, which color?
The TZe-PR831 tape comes in 2 widths for this color combination: TZe-PR831 (12 mm), TZe-PR851 (24 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 12 mm, the same range also comes in white on silver (TZe-PR935).
Label makers compatible with the TZe-PR831
The TZe-PR831 is compatible with 79 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; use as per the device instructions. Store cassettes away from heat and direct light.
Use and tips
The TZe-PR831 (12 mm) suits folders, binders, bins and office labels. 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-PR831 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-PR831?
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.
