The 12 Best Label Makers

Updated

For this 2023 update, we tested four new label makers to see how they compared to our other top choices. We previously tested eight top label makers, including handheld, computer-connected, and combination models, and our new top pick is the
Brother – PT-D610BT. This new Brother model has superior functionality, features the ability to use its keyboard or plug it into a laptop, and has an excellent mobile app with many label-formatting options. If you’re looking for a handheld label maker, we recommend the DYMO LetraTag – 100H, which is also user-friendly and comes with three different label tapes. For home offices and small business owners, the DYMO – 550 Turbo is still a great choice for all your mailing and shipping needs.
