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. When we tested the previous version, we gave it high marks for going above and beyond the basic functionality of some of its peers, and we're glad to see that Brother has offered even more in its next iteration. While this is one of the pricier label makers on the market, we think the abundance of features makes it a reasonable value. However, if you want to protect your investment with the brand's hard-shell case, note that it's sold separately.

The Brother P-Touch Cube Plus PT-P710BT is our favorite label maker that utilizes Bluetooth technology. This device wirelessly links to a smartphone or tablet using the Brother P-touch Design & Print 2 app. The newly revamped version of the app is vibrant, easy to use, and offers a ton of templates. Suppose you'd like to connect your label maker to a computer. In that case, the Brother P-touch Editor provides even more features and templates than the smartphone app, ranging from retail to hobby and health warnings to kitchen organization. Overall value: Overall value was evaluated while thinking about the experience with it and the price tag.Setup: First, assembly of each label maker was completed. We timed how long it took to take the product out of the box and prepare it for use, and recorded how useful and detailed the included instructions were. 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.

The Niimbot D110 is a decent little thermal printer that offers great value for money (Image credit: Future) You can design and create your label using our mobile application on Play Store for android devices also on App store for IOS devices. Our best overall is the Dymo LabelManager 280 Label Maker. It's a high-quality, handheld label maker with a full QWERTY-style keyboard, rechargeable battery, and customization options. For our best budget option, we recommend the Dymo Organizer Xpress Pro. It's a user-friendly embossing labeler with rotary-style lettering, offering a lot at a very agreeable price tag. How We Tested the Label Makers Portability: While using it, we also took note of its portability: how heavy the label maker is and how much space it actually takes up. Niimbot D11 was designed as a compact size making it easy to handle by hand and portable anywhere. Features:Strong Battery Life: Comes with 1500 mAh lithium battery for Convenient & Fast printing. One-time charging can support 4 hours of working, don't need to buy batteries, The label printer will shut down automatically when paused for 15 minutes to save power. If you are specifically looking for a desktop labeler, the Brother P-Touch PT- D610BTVP Business Professional Connected Label Maker is our top choice. We want to be clear that we tested an older model, the Brother PTD600 PC-Connectable Labeler. But, with that option now discontinued, and this updated version available in its place, we're excited about the possibilities.
