Since you can generate your own barcodes from Ply, we have partnered with Brother Printers to streamline your equipment and paper procurement process. Let us know if you need your printer and papers, and we can get it for you at a better price 🖨️ 🛠️
Here are Ply's recommendations:
🖨️ Printers:
- Brother PTP950NW (36mm & 24mm)-
- Brother PTP910BT P-touch CUBE XP (36mm & 24mm) - It’s a handheld printer that comes with 36mm labels, and it’s been working great for most of our clients. It connects via Bluetooth to your phone, allowing you to print barcodes directly from the app. You can print in batch too! 😎
🖨️ PT-P910BT
The PT-P910BT is more portable, easily connects via Bluetooth, and supports a variety of label sizes. We personally support this model, which is why we recommend it.
Label quantities per roll: the sample roll that comes with the PT Cube can make roughly 40 labels and the standard rolls can make about 80. Therefore, a 5 pack should make around 400 labels so given how many materials you have, you’ll know how many 5-packs you need to get.
🖨️ PTP950NW
The PTP950NW is a top-of-the-line printer and an excellent choice, though it’s worth noting that it’s a bit more robust. For maximum comfort and ease of use, we recommend the Cube! 😊
📳 Scanners:
If long battery life and rugged durability are top priorities, Scanner Gun 1 is the better option. However, if a lighter, more updated device with Android 13 and good overall functionality is preferred, Scanner Gun 2 would be ideal. They’re quite similar overall; it’s just that one is a more modern version. both have worked well for our customers. Everything is in stock, if you place the order it takes 3-5 days to arrive.
📄 Tapes:
- 36mm (1.4″) Black on Matte Silver HGE Tape with Extra Strength Adhesive, 8m (26.2 ft) – 5 Pack This tape screams durability and style. At 36mm wide, it's perfect for bold labels that need to stand out with a sleek matte silver background. The extra-strength adhesive ensures it sticks to even the toughest surfaces. Ideal for heavy-duty labeling with a touch of elegance.
- 24mm (0.94″) Black on Matte Silver HGE Tape with Extra Strength Adhesive 8m (26.2 ft) – 5 Pack It delivers the same premium silver vibe and adhesive strength but is better for smaller labels or tighter spaces. Same quality, just more versatility for precision labeling.
- 36mm (1.4″) Black on White HGE Tape with Extra Strength Adhesive, 8m (26.2 Ft) – 5 Pack This one’s all about clarity and simplicity. The 36mm width gives you plenty of space for bold text, and the clean white background ensures your labels are super easy to read. Paired with the extra-strength adhesive, it’s a go-to for professional, no-nonsense labeling jobs.
- 24mm (0.94″) Black on White HGe Tape with Extra Strength Adhesive 8m (26.2 ft) – 5 Pack The same crisp white finish as the 36mm version but at a narrower 24mm width. Great for labeling smaller items while keeping it neat and highly visible. Perfect when you need clean, clear labels that don’t compromise on stickiness or style.
