Brother TZe-231 12mm Black on White Label Tape
The Brother TZe-231 12mm black on white label tape is the most widely used label tape in the Brother P-touch range. It produces sharp, easy-to-read labels on a clean white background. This makes it the default choice for everyday labelling in homes, offices, schools, and professional environments. It is compatible with over 60 Brother P-touch label printers. Whether you are organising a filing system, managing equipment, or labelling storage shelves, the TZe-231 delivers consistently clear and durable results every time.
What Is the Brother TZe-231 Label Tape?
The TZe-231 is a laminated label tape cassette. It prints black text on a white polyester film background. The tape is 12mm wide and provides 8 metres per cassette.
It uses Brother’s exclusive laminated tape process. Each label is sealed beneath a protective outer layer. This protects the print from water, chemicals, abrasion, sunlight, and temperature extremes. The split-back peel design makes labels quick and easy to apply. The permanent adhesive bonds firmly to steel, wood, plastic, glass, and other smooth flat surfaces.

Why the Brother TZe-231 Stands Out
Brother TZe-231 Classic Black-on-White Clarity
Black text on white is the most readable colour combination available. It works on every surface and in every environment. The TZe-231 produces labels that are clean, sharp, and instantly legible. There is no visual noise — just clear, professional text that communicates exactly what it needs to.
Built to Last in Any Environment
Every TZe-231 label is laminated and sealed. Labels resist fading from sunlight, peeling from moisture, and smudging from oils or chemical cleaners. They also withstand temperature extremes. This makes them suitable for outdoor equipment, refrigerated storage, and areas exposed to regular cleaning.
Brother TZe-231 Split-Back Peel for Fast Application
The split-back peel backing allows each label to be separated and applied cleanly without tearing. This speeds up the labelling process significantly. It is especially useful during high-volume labelling tasks in offices, warehouses, and educational settings.
Use Cases and Regular Users
Everyday Office Organisation
Office administrators and personal assistants use the TZe-231 daily. It is the standard tape for labelling filing cabinets, document folders, shelves, and storage containers. The white background integrates cleanly into any workspace. It does not clash with existing colour-coded systems, making it a neutral and reliable go-to tape.
Asset Tagging and IT Management
IT administrators and asset managers apply TZe-231 labels to laptops, monitors, keyboards, cables, printers, and network hardware. The laminated finish ensures labels stay intact even through regular handling and cleaning. Equipment tagged with TZe-231 labels remains identifiable throughout its full operational lifespan.
Schools and Educational Institutions
Teachers, librarians, and school administrators rely on Plugtech Hub for genuine Brother tape supplies. The TZe-231 is used to label textbooks, resource trays, classroom equipment, and library shelves. The durable laminated labels withstand the high-contact conditions of school environments without peeling or fading.
Home Organisation and Storage
The TZe-231 is the most popular tape for home organisation projects. It works on pantry containers, storage bins, freezer bags, toolboxes, and utility shelves. It adheres to plastic, glass, and metal surfaces with ease. Labels created with this tape remain legible even after exposure to kitchen moisture and freezer temperatures.
Healthcare and Laboratory Use
Clinics, pharmacies, and medical laboratories use the TZe-231 to label sample containers, medication shelves, and equipment panels. The chemical-resistant laminate ensures labels remain intact after contact with disinfectants and sanitising agents. This is essential in environments where accurate identification is a safety requirement.
