Laminated TZe tape is why Brother labels survive on a freezer or outdoors where unlaminated ones rub off -- the printed layer is sandwiched between two films rather than sitting on the surface.
Full details →Who the Ember Temperature Control Smart Mug 2 is for
Buy it if: Anyone who drinks slowly at one desk with the coaster permanently plugged in.
Avoid it if: Anyone wanting a travel mug -- 80 minutes unplugged is not that.
Who the Brother P-touch PTH110 Easy Portable Label Maker is for
Buy it if: Anyone labelling things that get handled, wet or sunlit, where unlaminated tape fails.
Avoid it if: Anyone making a handful of labels -- the tape economics do not justify the machine.

| Tape | not published | Brother TZe laminated, 3.5 to 12 mm widths |
