Product Information

Rotary-style keyboard: This type of keyboard is not as time-efficient, but typically costs less and condenses the label maker's keyboard into a rotating wheel. For example, our best budget recommendation, the Dymo Organizer Xpress Pro Embossing Label Maker, has a rotary-style design.

If you are specifically hoping to organize your living space, the Epson LabelWorks PX 300 Label Maker is a superb choice. As we tested, we noticed there are several preloaded fonts, and it also allows you to add customizable text styles, icons, and banners. (Plus, it comes with a lifetime warranty!) It doesn’t have any major bells and whistles, but it's easy to use and does the labelling job nicely, embossing 49 different characters onto 9mm wide 3D strips.The parts that you do not require metallic we have to create a white base layer on the artwork, this is achieved by creating a separate layer on your artwork, named “white” and anywhere our press finds this colour it will print white toner beneath the CMYK artwork. QWERTY keyboard: Most modern label maker options have a full, QWERTY-style keyboard. This format, which you'll know as the standard typewriter keyboard layout, is generally ideal for adults. In addition to handheld options with standard QWERTY keyboards, you can also opt for a Bluetooth model that connects directly to the keyboard on your phone or computer for convenient typing. While this allows for more creative flexibility, some people prefer to use just one device—in that case, an integrated keyboard is preferable. It includes the Phomemo D30 label maker, a thermal label maker that you can connect to your phone via bluetooth.

The best part is that it can print up to three lines and comes with over 30 preloaded fonts and 1,600 symbols. The Bluetooth-compatible app is also capable of batch printing, making this a great choice for small businesses as well.
