Hi,

I have had trouble with the Brother P-touch labels delaminating after
a short time, and they don't seem to last outdoors at all. I switched
to the 3M label maker, which I believe is a re-branded Brother but I'm
not sure of the cartridge compatibility:

So far, they are lasting longer than the p-touch labels, and the
shrink wrap versions are nice with the vertical printing capability on
the 3M label maker.  3M/Scotch also make wire ID booklets, but I
haven't used them:
