for June 2023

MOOZ Themes editors select recommendations independently, so your purchase through our link may earn us a commission.

Label makers are a great tool for labeling anything from boxes to jars to water bottles, and they're also great for DIY projects, such as addressing envelopes and labeling school supplies. Our lab has tested dozens of label makers over the years, evaluating their ease of use, printing quality, and price. Our pick for best label maker is the Dymo LabelWriter 450, which prints high-quality labels quickly and easily. It prints labels up to 4 inches wide and 6 inches long.

Our labeling experts also test label makers for ease of use, such as how easy they are to set up and use, and for performance factors like how fast they print labels. We also look at printing quality, including how clear the text is and how good the labels hold up to water, sunlight, moisture, and extreme temperatures.

Brother P-Touch Label Maker, Versatile Easy-to-Use Labeler, PTD400AD, AC Adapter, QWERTY Keyboard, Multiple Line Labeling, White

Brother P-Touch Label Maker

by BROTHER

EASY TO USE: The compact design and easy type QWERTY keyboard feature make the PT D400AD a versatile and easy label maker to use

The Brother PTD400AD is an attractive and affordable label maker that's easy to use. It takes some getting use to, but the PTD400AD is capable and versatile. It has a QWERTY keyboard, and while it's fairly easy to use the QWERTY keyboard (it has keys that are much larger than those on most label makers), it's slightly awkward. The PT400AD's QWERTY keyboard also has a learning curve, and if you're used to typing on a touchscreen, you may have some trouble adjusting to the QWERTY keyboard. While the PT400AD's keyboard is small, keys are spaced well, and it's fairly easy to use once you get the hang of it. The PT400AD can print labels in 12mm, 9mm, 6mm, and 3.5mm widths and has 1, 2, 4, and 6-character font sizes. The label maker can also print text, images, barcodes, and symbols, and has a total of 99 frames, 600 symbols, and 14 fonts available. The PT400AD can print text labels up to 15.8mm wide, and labels up to 5.7mm thick. It prints out text labels quickly, and at 120mm per second, it prints out images at a slower rate. The PT400AD isn't the fastest label maker we tested, but it prints out text labels quickly and has more than enough resolution to print detailed text labels. The PT400AD has a decent resolution for text labels, but it's a little low for images. The PT400AD is affordable, easy to use, and extremely versatile. It has several helpful features, including automatic margin detection and automatic tape alignment, and it's one of the few label makers we tested that supports 18mm tape. The PT400AD is relatively compact, and it's fairly light weight. The PT400AD also has a long battery life, and it prints out labels pretty quickly. The PT400AD has a clear, large LCD display, and it's fairly easy to navigate. The PT400AD's QWERTY keyboard is awkward, and it's slightly difficult to use, but it's fairly easy to use once you get the hang of it. The PT400AD has 99 frames to choose from, 600 symbol, and 14 font options, and it's fairly customizable.

Brother P-Touch, PTM95, Handy Label Maker, 9 Type Styles, 8 Deco Mode Patterns, Navy Blue, Blue Gray

Brother P-Touch

by BROTHER

Comes with 9 type styles, 10 framing options and over 200 symbols

The PTM95 is a handy label maker that's easy to use, but it doesn't have as many label-making options as our other top picks. (The Brother P-Touch PT-2550, which is our top pick, has more label-making options.) The PT-2550 has a QWERTY keyboard for typing labels, and the PTM95 has a flat keyboard with 9 type styles (and 8 DECO mode patterns). The PTM95's 12-character display is easier to read than the PT-2550's 24-character display, and it's less bulky, too. The PTM95 has a trigger button that you press to start and stop printing labels, but the PT-2550 has a button that you press to print a single label. The PTM95's label-making features are pretty basic: you can't print logos, images, or graphics, and you can't print on more than one label at a time. But it's a good, basic label maker, and it's probably a better option for someone looking for a basic label maker for around the house or for labeling small items.

Marklife P11 Label Makers Machine

by MARKLIFE

Fashion & Protable Design--Print labels directly from your smartphone Bluetooth with this marklife label maker, which forgoes a traditional keyboard and screen.Smaller, lighter, more stylish, more convenient, and more powerful.

The Marklife P11 is a no-frills label maker that does what you need it to do. It prints labels fast, using thermal printing technology, and it's simple to operate. Some label makers include templates that make it easy to design labels, but you don't need to worry about finding templates for the Marklife P11. Also, its thermal printer is quieter than comparable inkjet or laser models. The P11 is small enough to take anywhere, and it's powered by two AA batteries. The printer's cord isn't long enough to reach most desks, so you'll need to plug it into the included USB cord. The P11 doesn't offer Wi-Fi or Bluetooth connectivity, so you can't print labels from a mobile device, and there's no online template library, so you can't download new templates. That said, the P11's low price makes it a good choice for anyone who wants to label something at home or in a home office, and for anyone who wants to replace price guns in a grocery store.
