The Best Label Makers (2026): Brother, Niimbot, Dymo
Experience the oddly satisfying joy of labeling bins, drawers, and more with the best Bluetooth and traditional label makers.
The PT-n25bt handheld label maker from Brother has garnered praise for its ease of use and durability. With this device, users can create custom labels in under a minute, even if they are new to label-making. The process is simple: attach a tape cartridge, turn on the machine, type directly onto a QWERTY keyboard, print, and cut a clean edge using the built-in cutter.
The device offers various design options, including three font styles, seven text frame options, 15 text frames, and hundreds of symbols. Users can preview their edits on an LCD screen to ensure satisfaction, or use the Brother Design&Print 2 app on iOS and Android for more design flexibility.
The PT-n25bt comes with labels in 17 colors, allowing for customization beyond the standard options. The labels are also durable, with Brother's laminated BTag label tapes offering resistance to water, temperature changes, fading, microwaving, dishwashing, and freezing. Despite its many strengths, the PT-n25bt does have a few drawbacks.
It requires six AAA batteries that are not included in the box, and an AC adapter is available for purchase separately. Additionally, the device is limited to labels that are 12 millimeters wide, which may require stacking for larger visual effects.
