If even the idea of organizing a space stresses you out, the Brother P-touch Cube Plus can make the task feel less daunting. When I’m faced with a seemingly impossible chore (like reorganizing the pantry), any minor inconvenience (like a label maker that prints labels that then require trimming with scissors) will stop me dead in my tracks. The P-touch Cube Plus, on the other hand, is good enough at doing its job that I forget I’m using it and can focus all of my attention on the task at hand.
Old-school label makers can be downright frustrating to use. Their small screens, stiff keyboards, and confusing margin settings lead to typos and misprints. But the Bluetooth-enabled P-touch Cube Plus lets you use an app on your phone—a device you could presumably operate with your eyes closed at this point—to design and print your labels. This takes a lot of the guesswork and tape-waste out of the equation: The app is intuitive enough to flag margin and tape-size inconsistencies, so you can get your label right on the first try.
The P-touch Cube Plus produces sharp, clear labels that don’t smudge or fade even after multiple trips through the dishwasher (so go ahead and label every Mason jar in your pantry without fear). The machine quickly prints out labels automatically cut to your precise in-app specifications. And the tape itself is incredibly durable, adhering to surfaces without curling or losing its stickiness while still being easy to peel off cleanly without leaving behind residue.
This label maker is also compact, so it’s easy to carry from room to room as you label light switches, cabinet shelves, and storage bins throughout your home. It fits easily into backpacks, tote bags, and some purses, so helping a friend tidy their pantry or revamping your office cubicle is a (literal) light lift. The P-touch Cube Plus’ built-in rechargeable battery is another huge perk, since it eliminates the need for batteries that you inevitably won’t have on hand when the time comes.
