Brother(R) M-231 Black-On-White Tape, 0.5in. x 26.2ft., BRTM231

I've been meaning to upgrade my old Brother P-touch labeller, but it is still going strong after about 6 years of regular use, so why interrupt a good thing? The only issue has been that the replacement tapes are expensive. However, as I recently found to my delight, Amazon's price is about half what I would pay at a big office supply store in my town. The roll of labels has about 26 feet of tape, and at about 3" per label, that works out to a cost of just under 5 cents per label. I think that's reasonable for a long-lasting label, and if you buy the tapes in packages of 2, it would be even less.Of course, one could use paper labels generated on a computer, and if you have a lot of file folders to label, that would certainly be faster. The great point about these labels is that they work so well on glass, wood, and shiny surfaces, and they peel off without leaving a residue when you're ready to change the label. On paper (such as file folders), they stick fast and don't peel off; you need to just place another one over the original one when you change topics for the file.As for the difficulty of peeling the backing off, which other writers have noted was a drawback, I find that it's not hard as long as you peel from the CORNER first. If you have a fingernail to do this, perfect; if not, a sharp edge, such as a knife or letter opener would do the job. Once you get used to starting at the corner, there's never a problem peeling off the backing.I love these labels for spice jars, files, warranty dates on gadgets, labels on cords, and all sorts of uses around the house. Since you get about 100 labels per roll (at 3" each), a roll goes pretty far. There are several colors and different widths. I like the half-inch tape, which takes any of the 5 sizes of print generated by my labeller very well. The print is very crisp and visible from several feet away. A good product, all in all!

Never fails me!

I used the Brother Genuine P-Touch M-131 Tape for a recent event I planned, and it was an absolute lifesaver for customizing decor! This tape was perfect for labeling items and adding a personal touch to the party setup. The black text on clear tape made everything look clean, professional, and easy to read—ideal for organizing different areas of the event and ensuring guests could easily find what they were looking for.I used the tape to label food stations, activity areas, and party favors, and it really made everything look polished. Plus, the tape is water-resistant, so I didn’t have to worry about it smudging or fading during the event. The 26.2 feet of tape went a long way, and I still have plenty left for future events.If you’re planning an event and need a reliable way to label items or create custom signage, I highly recommend this tape. It’s easy to use, durable, and perfect for indoor events like mine!

This would be quick and easy quality on the tape is just as good as the original that came with the machine so I didn't see any difference there. Very easy to remove you. Just open the latch from the back slides out. Put it back in and you're done. A value for money I would say is great because when I went to officemax it was almost twice as much. You should have to make sure you get the right size tape to fit into your machine. That'll depends on the machine that you ended up getting. Overall I definitely got what I wanted and I'm happy with it
