Product Review: Brother PT-1230 Label Maker

In September 2007, I emptied out the entire pantry and organized it, putting things in containers and assigning designated spots for everything. You can see my post about it HERE.

It has stayed pretty much organized since, with exception of a few months earlier this year. I got it back the way it should in no time because everything was already containerized and had a designated spot.

However, one thing was missing: LABELS! I have been wanting a label maker for a long time and I finally found this one:


Brother P-Touch PT-1230 PC Label Maker

I pined over it for a few weeks and then one day said I'm going to get it!

I went to the store determined to get it no matter how much it cost, and much to my delight, it happened to be on sale!

I absolutely LOVE it! It's so easy to use. The only downside is that you need 6 AAA batteries, but even that's not too terrible.

Let me show you how easy it is!

First you put the batteries in it and attach it to your computer.

Then this screen automatically pops up!



After you type in what you want the label to say, you click print:



Then you press the cutter and the label will be perfectly cut for you.

Then... the best part of all... you put it on the container or whatever it is you're wanting to label!



Isn't it Beautiful!?!



Now, don't be surprised if I turn into a Crazy Labeling Lady!

Before I forget, you can change font size and label size as well. You can make it 2 lines instead of one. I decided to try it at the automatic size and I liked it so I used that for the pantry containers.
