Product Features
Technical Overview
This tape cartridge utilizes direct thermal printing technology, which requires no ink or toner. The printhead applies heat to the thermal-sensitive material, creating permanent black markings on the yellow tape surface. The cartridge is designed for a label width of 1/2 inch (12.70 mm), which is a common size for general-purpose labeling.
The M series designation indicates compatibility with Brother's P-touch label makers that accept this tape format. The nonlaminated finish means the printed labels lack a protective overlay, making them best for applications where they won't face frequent handling or exposure to elements.

Always verify your specific model's compatibility before purchase.
What does 'nonlaminated' mean for this tape cartridge?
Nonlaminated means the printed labels lack a protective clear overlay layer. This makes the labels more economical and suitable for light-duty indoor applications where they won't face frequent abrasion, moisture, or extreme handling. For outdoor use or environments where labels need extra durability against wear, consider laminated tape alternatives.
What are the dimensions and length of the tape in this cartridge?
The MK631 cartridge contains tape that is 1/2 inch wide (12.70 mm) and approximately 26-1/5 feet long. This provides substantial labeling capacity for multiple projects. The width is a common size for general-purpose labeling tasks in various settings.
How does direct thermal printing work with this tape cartridge?
Direct thermal printing uses heat from the printer's printhead to create images on specially coated thermal paper. No ink, toner, or ribbon is required. The Brother label printer applies heat to the thermal-sensitive material in the MK631 cartridge, producing permanent black markings on the yellow tape surface. This technology offers clean, smudge-resistant printing with minimal moving parts.
