If what you value in a label maker is a result that looks polished, professional, and decidedly not homemade, the P-touch Cube Plus is calling your name. It allows for great versatility in its labels, printing on tape as narrow as 6 mm and as wide as 24 mm, meaning you can use it to organize the small jars on your spice rack and large boxes in your storage unit.<\/p>\n
The Cube Plus also supports a huge selection of designs, with hundreds of fonts, borders, and graphics, available via your choice of three design apps and platforms accessible via Bluetooth connection: Brother Design&Print 2 (also compatible with the Brother PT-n25bt), iPrint&Label, and P-touch Editor software that you can use with a desktop, the latter of which I did not test. Like the Brother Design&Print 2 app, discussed above, the iPrint&Label is seamless to use. Its templates are less ornate, but on this upscale device, I found this simple quality to be nice, eliminating the time-suck of customization flourishes but still producing a professional-quality label. You do have to use one of these apps, though, as there\u2019s no on-device keyboard. Once you select \u201cprint,\u201d the connection is quick\u2014just a couple of seconds\u2014and the Cube Plus self-cuts your new label for you.<\/p>\n
At nearly three times the price of the Brother PT-n25bt, the Cube Plus\u2019 upscale features do come at a cost, though\u2014and the bills don\u2019t stop once you buy the machine. The Cube Plus works with Brother\u2019s TZe laminated label tape; replacement cartridges start at $15 for black print on clear tape and are pricier for specialty colors, like $24 for black print on glitter yellow tape. But the labels feel as premium as they claim to be, with text printed between seven layers of lamination. In my testing, the tape held up to heat, sunlight, microwaving, dishwashing, and general wear and tear.<\/p>\n
Price aside, there is something joy-inducing about making a jazzed-up label\u2014my 4-year-old, for one, was thrilled about his shimmery gold new lunchbox label. Also, I was intrigued to learn that Brother sells a TZe fabric label tape that\u2019s compatible with the Cube Plus. Though I didn\u2019t test it, fabric tape is something I haven\u2019t seen as an option on other home label makers, and parents in particular will find the ability to label clothes super-useful, even though this version still requires the extra step of ironing it on.<\/p>\n
