perfect label tape

excellent

good

Works great! Good price!

I purchased a LetraTag printer roughly a month ago with white paper label tape. Labels begin to peel almost as soon as applied. I am now applying invisible tape over the labels to keep them in place. I will try the plastic labels in the hope that they stick. Otherwise, I will be looking for a labeler with better adhesive tapes.

Works well and labels came out correctly. The tape is matte, no gloss at all. Printing looked good. Paper backing is a little tricky to get off. Seam is in the middle so bend and peel from center. I would like to see the paper slightly thicker. Decent labels produced in the end.

Have been using this item for several years, and I have yet to find anything more useful or versatile. As others have said, it's easy to load into the machine, the printing is clear with no smudging, and it does adhere well [in some uses, I do use clear tape over it to hold it better]. Couldn't ask for more -- except to echo one previous reviewer as to a bulk pack.

I have used this very same product for many years and it always shows it is a quality product, and I still used the very same label maker I purchased all those years ago! Use 5 times per week average and never failed! 10 year old movie labels still look as good as todays I will print. BONUS I added this to my online shipment to get the FREE SHIPPING over $50 and saved a 40 mile round trip to my nearest Wal Mart!

Very limited use case. The adhesive on the back of the labels does not stick particularly well to most surfaces. Metal, glass, and plastic all seem to give it trouble, which really narrows down what you can actually label. I find sticking it to paper or cardboard surfaces works best—so, stuff you could already just write directly on. There's a lot of options for a simple label maker that would make it a really versatile device, if it weren't so mechanically limited. It's nice that there are many text options and even punctuation and symbols to choose from, but it'd be nicer if the tape stayed stuck. I imagine bit of clear tape over the label would help, but again, if I'm already putting tape down on things, why not just write my labels directly on the tape? Unfortunately this device can only be as good as the materials provided, and those materials are disappointing.

I had considered buying a different labeler elsewhere, until several negative reviews made me think better of it. I originally wanted it for kitchen use, and thought of it as something that would be nice, but not necessary. When I saw this different one, which has a QWERTY keyboard so that I don't have to look for things, I decided to purchase it for the kitchen. In addition to the QWERTY keyboard, it is well-designed, with label cartridges easy to pop in and out when you need to change label type. It does go through batteries, though, so I recommend rechargeable AA's, as it takes four of them. (I bought a charger and a couple of packs of the AA's with a camera recently and am truly glad that I did. It is much easier to store one small charger and batteries than enough batteries to power everything that takes them.) Be sure and get the type of batteries intended for high-intensity use, not the type intended for infrequent use (such as the eneloops), which hold a charge for a long time but which will not last long in a device of this type. Then, when I was drafting a sewing pattern, I realized that it was the perfect solution to the problem I had of forgetting what a given pattern piece was when a bit of time passed between bouts of working on something. (I also draft variations to commercial patterns, and sometimes forget which pattern the variation belongs to.) Now I can print out multiple copies of the pattern name, variation name, piece name, number of copies to be cut, and any other instructions (cut on fold, cut on true bias, etc.). I print double the number of pattern and variation/piece name labels, because I label the reverse after it is folded the way it will be in the storage bag. That way, I do not have to unfold all the pieces looking for a particular one. I can label the storage bag, too, as well as the bag holding cut pieces, partially completed items, and notions. I still use it in my kitchen, but the sewing room uses are still tops. (I also plan to start labeling the baggies holding extra hardware that comes with "assembly required" projects.) This has turned out to be a very useful gadget for me, actually solving several common problems I face instead of just producing something that is more aesthetically pleasing than handwritten labels. It comes with one paper label cartridge and one clear plastic cartridge. I have not used up either one, despite printing out many labels.
