Embossing Label Maker, Labeling Tool, Old School Label Maker, for Manual Label Embossing -E-101 (2 Wheels, White)

This is a lot smaller form factor than the embossing label maker I and many others grew up with. I added a few images so people can see its size, since someone with reduced manual dexterity may not be able to operate this with ease. Other than that, it is easy to set up and use. Just feed the label tape (3/8" wide) and half-press the trigger a few times to get it fed in (note: a soft or half-press is also the "space" character). A firm press will emboss the character indicated on the dial. The embosser came with a single cartridge of black tape, the wheel you see in the images (all caps) and a 2nd wheel with lower case characters and some other possibly useful symbols. I don't know how easy it is to swap the wheels while leaving the tape in place. That would be a nifty test.

This was exactly what I was looking for! Once I got the tape loaded, it was super easy to use. You do have to make sure you can see the a little bit of tape coming out of the labeler before embossing letters, and you should be able to see the tape move once the letter is done. The cutting mechanism isn’t perfect, but if I give it a good squeeze, it does cut all the way through! It is also very small and compact, which is exactly what I was hoping for.

This works OK but I am not happy because the title said white and the picture showed white tape and I received black tape. The only reason I chose this brand out of many, is because I wanted white tape. It's fine if you don't need a specific color.

I bought this to label some plastic storage containers to organize my pantry and baking supplies. The curve of the labels is stronger than the adhesive so they keep popping off of my plastic storage containers.

Label maker is very small both in size & font. I'll just end up giving it to my granddaughter because it just wasn't what I expected.

This does not emboss so I returned it. I followed the directions, watched videos and could not print one label on this.

I was initially a bit reticent to buy this embossing label maker due to some poor reviews. However, while it certainly feels a bit flimsy, it is very easy to use - ie. easy to change the tapes, change the wheels, and to use as intended (a quick youtube video helped) - and I like it a lot as it comes with interesting tape colours that I was unable to source for my Dymo embossing label maker.
