Label printers versus label makers (lettering systems)
You will be able to make labels with both label printers and lettering systems, but it is important to know that there are some differences between these machines! Their main differences come down to the type of labels you can print and their portability.
Types of labels you can print
Label printers can print customised labels in various sizes, shapes, designs and materials, such as paper, vinyl and polyester. This means they are widely used for
shipping labels, barcodes, product labelling, filling and labelling items such as cables and equipment. As you can customise these labels, logos and graphics can also be added!
Alternatively, lettering systems create simple, text-based labels with basic fonts. These are printed on tapes, such as plastic or laminated, and are commonly used for home or office organisation and labelling
cables, folders and hardware items. Customisation is limited with lettering systems.
Portability of these label printers
Most label printers connect to your desktop to work in conjunction with design software or apps for label creation. Your label printer will then be able to print from your computer, similar to an inkjet or laser printer! However, this means that not all label printers are portable. You may find some smaller, portable devices, but label printers are usually larger machines.
On the other hand, lettering systems do not require any software or app to create labels as everything is controlled using the built-in keyboard or small screen. This means they are great for on-the-go and often use batteries instead of an electrical source. The small, handheld devices are great additions to any household or toolbox!
Choosing between a label printer or lettering system depends on your specific needs and the level of label customisation required. Each machine will print professional-looking labels, suitable for a variety of applications!
