Brother PT-E560BTVP — industrial handheld labeller for TZe tapes up to 24 mm
TZe 3.5–24 mmBluetooth & USBLi-ion batteryCarry case
The Brother PT-E560BTVP is a rugged handheld P-touch labeller for electricians, network installers and facility teams: it prints laminated TZe labels from 3.5 to 24 mm wide by thermal transfer, typed on its own QWERTY keyboard or sent from a phone over Bluetooth.
A backlit LCD (18 characters × 3 lines) previews the label before printing. Built-in templates, 476 symbols, 14 fonts and serialisation cover cable flags, patch-panel strips, terminal blocks and asset tags, and the Brother Pro Label Tool app adds layouts designed on a phone.
It comes ready for site work: rechargeable Li-ion battery, USB cable, two starter tapes and a carry case in the box. Over USB it also works with P-touch Editor on a PC for longer jobs and data-driven batches.
Before you order: It uses Brother TZe laminated tape cassettes from 3.5 to 24 mm only. Tapes wider than 24 mm (36 mm TZe), DK rolls and generic label rolls do not fit.

What It Means in Practice
- Type and print on the spot: the keyboard and backlit display mean no laptop is needed at the rack, panel or ceiling void.
- Flexible ID tape wraps around cables and stays put; strong-adhesive tape holds on rough or curved surfaces.
- Full, half and auto cutting: half-cut leaves the backing easy to peel, which saves time on hundreds of small labels.
- Bluetooth to the Pro Label Tool app lets you build cable and panel labels on your phone and print them from the labeller.
- Copies from 1 to 5,000 and 99 memory locations make repeat jobs quick.
What Will Not Work
- Tapes wider than 24 mm, DK rolls or non-Brother label rolls.
- Wi-Fi or network printing — it connects by Bluetooth 5.0 and USB.
- Colour photos or graphics beyond simple logos and symbols — it prints one colour per tape cassette.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can it make heat-shrink tube labels?
Brother lists heat-shrink tubes among its Pro tape uses for permanent cable identification; check that the specific tube cassette is listed as compatible with the PT-E560BTVP before ordering — ask us and we will confirm.
Do I need a computer?
No. Type on the keyboard and print. A phone with the Pro Label Tool app or a PC with P-touch Editor are optional extras for bigger jobs.
Which tape is best for cables?
TZe flexible ID tape (FX series) wraps around round cables without lifting; the included TZe-FX231 is a 12 mm example.
Singular Expert Insight · Buyer's Guide
The PT-E560BTVP is the installer's labeller: keyboard, display and battery for work at the rack, with Bluetooth when the label list lives on your phone. Label both ends of every patch lead — pair it with cables from our
network cables range.
✓ Buy it if you label cables, panels and equipment on site and want laminated labels without a laptop.
✕ Skip it if you need tapes wider than 24 mm or print large batches at a desk — the PT-P900Wc fits better.
→ Also consider Brother PT-P900Wc desktop P-touch (up to 36 mm, Wi-Fi).
