Mini Label Maker

What it is

A pocket-size thermal label printer that prints small adhesive labels, usually driven from a phone app.

What it solves

A shipping printer is the wrong tool for a one-inch label on a vial, a bin or a drawer.

What this kind of product gives you

• Prints small labels on cassettes or rolls
• Runs from a phone, so there is no computer to set up
• Battery powered and portable
• Prints the same label again whenever you need it

Who it is for

Anyone labeling containers, bins or shelves often enough that handwriting has become the weak point.

What to check before you buy

• Label width, and whether the sizes you want are sold for that model
• Ongoing cost and availability of the label rolls
• Whether the app runs on your phone
• For cold storage, whether the label stock is rated for it
