Brother OEM DK labels are great, but they are so expensive. For businesses that print in volume, switching to third-party compatible labels can save a lot of money. But the challenge is that you need to take time to pick a reliable brand, because not all of them live up to their promise. Print quality varies. Adhesive varies. Some tend to jam the printer from time to time.
At Betckey, we believe our Brother compatible labels are great in their quality. But new customers may hesitate before the first purchase. So we ran a hands-on, Betckey Brother-Compatible Internal Test. We tested their print quality, scratch resistance ability, and went on adhesion and jam test to see their performance that customers care. The exact test results are listed below. Let’s see how Betckey Brother compatible labels perform.
We printed several Betckey compatible brother shipping labels, The result shows that Betckey compatible brother labels deliver excellent clarity. Whether it’s text, QR codes, barcodes, everything prints sharply and clearly.
We scratched a Betckey compatible brother shipping label multiple times, and the text, barcode and QR code remain clear after the repeated abrasion. This is important because although people don’t scratch the labels deliberately, labels are likely to undergo some friction or rubbing during the actual use.
We applied Betckey compatible DK 1241 (on the left) and Brother OEM DK 1241 (on the right) shipping labels on a poly bag and a cardboard, respectively. The results are as follows.
On Card Board
Day 1: No curl, no falling off both Brother OEM 1241 and Betckey 1241.
Day 7: For Betckey compatible 1241, the adhesive is still strong. For Brother OEM 1241, the labels curves. This may be because the OEM label has been stored unused for a long time. You can see that the surface has turned yellow.
For Betckey, the test label roll we used had been stored for several months. We used what we had in the office at the time — we did not purchase new Brother OEM labels, nor did we use new Betckey labels. So this is fairly a real-life test.
The thickness of Betckey compatible Brother labels is 15% thinner than Brother OEM labels. The thickness of Brother OEM labels is 0.148mm, while ours is 0.128mm. Some customers feel that our labels are thinner. Well, this is true. But this does not affect the actual use. Most of our customers use these compatible Brother labels for shipping labels , address labels , product labels , etc. on their Brother label printers without problems.
However, if you do need thicker labels to handle tasks with high speed label printers like industrial printers, soon there is no need to purchase expensive Brother OEM labels. We are going to launch a new product. It will have the same thickness of backing paper as Brother OEM labels.

Love your stuff. What I buy from you. Works great with my Brother Q800 label maker. Except when I ordered the wrong size 😂. Thanks again. I do have a question. Would you like to advertise on my autograph Group. I do have a few members that have a label maker like mine. And you might get even more business because right now I have 1,500 members and growing. Think about it. Autograph HoundS. Go by that name only. As someone else has their first name and then autograph Hounds. Or look me up. Beverly Laura Ford Gamble. I am trying to generate a little extra income for the overall group.
At first I thought I had ordered incorrectly, as the two rolls were wrapped so tightly in black plastic, that I thought either incorrectly ordered or was incorrectly shipped.
Well I opened one, as realized this must have been wrapped this way because of the thermal products ordered.
Product looks good, but not used for printing yet.
It was wrapped well and arrived super fast.
