PtouchDirect has specialized in Brother P-touch® label tapes and label makers for more than 20 years. Search by your printer model or the tape number on your cassette to find the exact tape that fits, or browse by tape type: TZe, M, DK, Btag, HGe, HSe and TC.

The fastest way is to check the cassette already in your label maker. The tape number is printed on the cassette label, for example TZe-231 or M231. Type it into the search box above, or search by your printer model to see every tape that fits.
Standard Brother TZe tape numbers follow the same three-digit pattern. In TZe-231, the 2 means white tape, the 3 means 1/2" (12mm) wide and the 1 means black print, so TZe-231 is black on white, 1/2" tape.

More examples: TZe-335 is white on black, 1/2" and TZe-621 is black on yellow, 3/8". Letters before the digits mark a special tape: S for extra strength adhesive (TZe-S231), FX for flexible ID tape (TZe-FX231) and M for matte (TZe-M31). Older cassettes labeled TZ, like TZ-231, use the same numbers. What's the "e" in TZe?
Tape types aren't interchangeable, even when the width matches. A TZe cassette won't fit an M tape printer, and an M cassette won't fit a TZe printer.
We carry genuine Brother tapes for every printer on this page. For TZe, M and HSe, we also offer LM compatible tapes, which are clearly labeled LM and listed in their own guides so you can always tell the two apart.
