Flexible ID Tape for Cables and Pipes

The Brother TZE-FX231 is a 12 mm black-on-white label tape designed for P-touch printers. Its flexible construction and specially formulated adhesive allow it to wrap securely around cables, PVC piping and other cylindrical surfaces. The laminated surface protects the print from abrasion, moisture and fading. It suits electricians, IT installers and anyone organising wiring or equipment.

Laminated Durability on Curved Surfaces

The exclusive lamination process seals the black print between protective layers, so text stays legible after repeated handling or cleaning. Adhesive is engineered to bond to the tape itself as well as to the substrate, preventing edges from lifting when wrapped tightly. This construction maintains adhesion and print integrity through temperature swings and daily vibration better than standard flat labels.

Upgrade from Standard Flat Label Tape

Replace flat paper or vinyl labels that peel off rounded cables after a few weeks. The jump is worth it when you need identification that survives pulling through conduit, outdoor exposure or frequent re-termination. Not for users who only label flat panels, file folders or shelf edges where a rigid tape performs adequately.
