Exploring Brother Labels 01: Easy, Easy And Easy - Betckey Labels

One unique feature of  Brother direct thermal printers is the auto-cut function. When users want to print a dozen labels, they can select either cutting every label or cutting at the end of a dozen labels. Unlike other labels with perforation that still need users to separate by hand, Brother printers' auto-cut function makes Brother labels one of the most convenient direct thermal labels.

Another unique feature of Brother labels is the cartridge. Labels compatible with Brother QL printers must be attached to a cartridge that makes Brother printers identify and auto-select the right label size directly. The printer may stop at label size 2.4" x 4" when the user just finished printing 2.4" x 4" labels, but once the user places another size like 4" x 6" . with a cartridge to Brother QL printers , the printers will automatically identify and change the printing label size to 4" x 6" .

Brother’s auto-cut and auto-select features bring supreme convenience to users, but they also bring trade-offs. Considering Brother labels are required to be used with a cartridge, the price of labels is a little bit higher than other major brands. And if users buy several different sizes of Brother labels with cartridges, some new users may mix or be confused among those cartridges that look very similar.

In general, Brother labels are one of the most user-friendly brands for new users.

Brother offers small address labels DK-1209 (2.4" x 1.1"), and standard address labels DK-1201 (1.1" x 3.5").

You are right, 4" x 6" shipping labels are large enough to contain address and return address on one label, but don’t forget that sometimes you may need to mail envelopes and cards as well instead of parcels and packages only.

And don’t forget that you may want to print your logo and brand image on 4" x 6" labels for less cost compared to customized ordering boxes with logos, so additional labels with addresses only help you not only enhance brand identity but also save costs.
