Brother P-touch Label Maker (review & giveaway)

Brother is a company that makes all sorts of items to help make your life easier. Their line includes items like printers, fax machines, sewing machines, and labelers.

For this review, I was sent the P-touch PT-1290 which is a labeler from their “Simply Stylish” line. I have to say, I’m thrilled with this labeler and have already put it to good use.

This labeler has wonderful features that allow you to make all sorts of different styles of labels. I made some basic labels for my cube storage and also added symbols to the labels I made for my son’s toys or sippy cups and my daughter’s bottles. I felt they added a cute touch and also allowed me to easily find their label just by looking for the star or the heart.

Here is what I was able to do with my cube storage:

 

With the storage boxes clearly marked, I don’t have to worry about not knowing which box is holding which item(s). Also, I don’t have to worry about toys ending up in the wrong place. These labels will help me keep my home in order with little work.

Also, the P-touch PT-1290 makes professional style labels. Of course, when I saw these styles, I had to make one for my blog and my file box. Here’s the finished product.

Here are some other features included in the labeler (taken from the website).

15 Deco Mode Patterns to create extra-stylish and decorative labels

2 Professional Fonts

Prints labels up to 1/2" wide on laminated indoor/outdoor “TZ” series tapes

Easy-view, 15-character LCD display

6 Auto Formats and 7 Framing Options

Built-in memory, saves up to 9 of your favorite labels

This is something I would recommend for any household or office. It’s very easy to use and would make organizing so much easier.
