Brother HGES1315PK Black on Clear Extra-Strength Adhesive Label Tape

Introducing the Brother HGES1315PK Black on Clear Extra-Strength Adhesive Label Tape, a purpose-built labeling solution engineered for demanding commercial and industrial environments. Designed to optimize workflow speed and durability, this laminated tape is tailor-made for professional printers like the PT-9700PC and PT-9800PCN, delivering performance that meets the rigors of asset management, manufacturing, warehousing, and field service. The black text on a crystal-clear carrier creates labels that disappear on most surfaces while remaining highly legible, even in challenging conditions. Whether you’re tagging equipment, wiring panels, or organizing files, HGES1315PK combines clarity, resilience, and efficiency to help you stay organized with confidence.

• Premium durability for harsh environments: The laminated construction combines a clear, protective overlay with an extra-strength adhesive to resist water, abrasion, fading, and chemicals. Your labels stay legible and securely affixed on metal, plastic, glass, and uneven surfaces—even in industrial settings where humidity, oil, and temperature swings are common.
• High-speed, laminated printing capability: Engineered for the PT-9700PC and PT-9800PCN, HGES1315PK enables laminated labels up to 8 times faster than many traditional P-Touch label printers. This speed translates to quicker tagging of assets, locations, and inventories, helping teams move more efficiently without sacrificing durability or readability.
• Clear background for a discreet, professional look: The Black on Clear configuration ensures text stands out clearly while the transparent tape blends into surfaces where a white or opaque label would be obtrusive. This makes it ideal for labeling on glass dashboards, equipment housings, cables, and panels where a clean, professional appearance matters.
• Versatility for a wide range of applications: Perfect for home, office, and industry applications—asset tagging, wiring and panel labeling, inventory management, cable identification, and safety labeling. The laminated tape is designed to withstand exposure to sunlight, moisture, and common solvents, ensuring long-lasting results in warehouses, manufacturing floors, and fieldwork environments.
• Cost-effective organization with reliable performance: A single HGES1315PK pack provides a ready-to-use labeling solution that reduces rework and improves traceability. The combination of high readability, adhesive strength, and durability lowers maintenance costs and enhances asset control across teams and facilities.
