The question I get more than ANY other is: “Tara, what label maker do you use?” I’m asked this constantly because I’ve been running my own professional organizing company since 2020. My team and I are out in the field every single day of the week, and this is the tool we rely on for every project.

The short answer: The Brother P-touch CUBE Plus PT-P710BT *. I also keep it protected in this co2CREA Hard Case *

I first shared my love for this tool a few years ago, but I’m updating this for 2026 because it is still the #1 recommendation I give to clients. I’ve purchased this machine four times now, one for each of our work bags, and they are all still going strong. We use them daily, and they are truly the workhorses of my organizing business.

Why the Cube Plus Wins Long-Term

In the world of home organizing, tools come and go, but this has remained a staple for three main reasons:

• Bluetooth Freedom: It connects to our phones via Bluetooth. 'Nough said. No clunky keyboards or outdated screens.

  
  

• Total Portability: Because it has a long-lasting rechargeable battery (via USB), we aren't tethered to an outlet. We can label a pantry, a garage, or a craft room without hunting for a plug or batteries.

  
  

• The Design & Print 2 App: We use this app (iOS / Android) to save our designs. We save specific font combos by client or by room so if we need to add a label six months later, the font and sizing match perfectly.

The "Inside Scoop" on Tape

The Cube Plus handles six different tape sizes, but you don't need to buy them all.

• Our Go-To Sizes: My team almost exclusively uses .47” and .94” tape.

  
  

• The Colors: We always stock white with black letters and black with white letters. These provide the cleanest, most professional look for any home aesthetic.

The One Thing That Drives Me NUTS

If there is one "con," it’s that the machine spits out about an inch of blank tape before every print.

According to Brother, this is necessary to ensure the three layers of laminated tape seal and feed correctly. While you can't eliminate it entirely, you can reduce waste by printing multiple labels in one "chain" before hitting the cut button.

Project Gallery: How We Use the Cube Plus

One of the best parts of this refresh is looking back at all the projects we've tackled. Here is how this label maker is currently working in my home and for my clients:

Tech & Cable Storage:

Stop digging through a "junk drawer" of tangled wires. We used the Brother Cube Plus to label these individual clear cases for everything from USB-C to HDMI adapters.

Now, you can find exactly what you need in seconds without having to untangle a single cord! For this size container we used the .47 size tape.

The container used here is the Clear 16 Case Photo & Craft Keeper by Simply Tidy from Michael's. Pro Tip: Keep an eye on the prices for this as it is very frequently on sale.

Craft Rooms & Play Spaces:

This is where the Cube Plus really saves the day! By labeling individual bins for specific supplies like "Pom Poms," "Pipe Cleaners," and "Paint," we take the guesswork out of clean-up time.

It makes it so much easier for kids to maintain the system themselves, and you'll never have to hunt for a glue stick again.

Shown here is the .94 size tape.

The containers used her are Modular Storage Small Clear - Brightroom sold at Target. I have linked the size medium as at the time of writing this I no longer see the size small.

Kitchens and Pantry

Baskets & Bin Clips: Labels aren't just for flat surfaces! We love using the Cube Plus on bin clips for woven baskets. It makes it so easy to categorize snacks like while keeping the pantry looking cohesive.

Airtight Storage: For baking staples like flour and sugar, or even specialized items clear labels are a must. They give that clean, high-end look while ensuring you never mistake salt for sugar again!

Pro Tip: For a super chic and subtle look, try using clear tape with gold lettering on white cabinets. We did this at an AirBnB we organized recently, it's perfect for helping guests know exactly where to return items while maintaining a high-end designer finish!

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Can the Brother P-Touch Cube Plus print on ribbon? Yes! You can buy specialized fabric ribbon tapes which are perfect for personalized gift wrapping or holiday crafts.

Does it work with a computer or just a phone? It works with both! You can connect it via USB to your Mac or PC for even more advanced design options, though we find the mobile app is the fastest for most jobs.

Is the tape waterproof? The TZe tapes are laminated, making them incredibly durable. They are resistant to water, fading, and even many household cleaners, perfect for kitchens and bathrooms.

Final Thoughts

Whether you are a professional organizer or just someone trying to find your matching Tupperware lids, the Brother P-Touch Cube Plus is worth the investment. It’s simple, durable, and makes the "finishing touch" of any project look like a million bucks.
