Label makers help keep us organized. Unfortunately, not all label makers are created equal. I have one of the old fashioned ones with the raised lettering that does not always stay affixed as I need it to. Brother P-touch labelers create durable, laminated labels that can stand up to some of the toughest conditions including heat and cold, rough handling, sunlight, water, and spills.
Now, to prove how much they stand behind the durability of their labels, the Brother brand asked me to take the P-touch Tough Test-it Challenge.
I was sent the following box with the materials you see inside:
I put my son over the kitchen sink and had him try all the tools we were sent to try to pry this label off of the plexi-glass block. I did suspect going into this that he would not be able to. I couldn’t either. I knew nothing short of a razor blade might work!
He scrubbed. He scraped, he tried nail polish remover. Nothing would budge this label. Not even bleach. And I put my 220 pounds of elbow into it as well. Nothing. And the name on the label did not smudge in the least.
In the end he did get a corner of the label to give and I was able to pull it off. I feel this is important, I want a label that will stay on as long as I need it to. Sometimes we need to change labels or remove them.This label will not come off until you are ready for it to. I like to be in charge, and I don’t want it to come off before I say so!
This is one tough label. It will not come off. Isn’t that what we need on our homes? I will continue the challenge and be labeling items in my son’s bedroom and playroom in the coming weeks as part of this program. Considering how much “stuff” my son has, I am thrilled to be part of this campaign, I sometimes have a hard time finding things and now I will be forced to get organized!
