About Your New Label Maker
With your new 3M™ Portable Labeler Embosser - Metal Tape PLE, you
can create metal labels. The label maker uses 12 mm (1/2") 3M™
Portable Labeler Embossing Tape.
Metal tapes are available as follows:
• Aluminium with adhesive (PLE-ALA-1/2)
• Aluminium without adhesive (PLE-ALNA-1/2)
• Stainless Steel (PLE-SSNA-1/2)
You can also use a Reverse Image Wheel with the 3M™ Portable Labeler
Embosser. This wheel allows you to print mirror script labels that meet
special requirements in the industry. Mirror labels are used on moulds or
casts for metal or rubber injection, silicon casting, fiber glass
applications, and so on.
Visit www.3m.com/electrical for information on obtaining tapes
for your label maker.
