There was a discussion here recently re durable labels for outdoor /
gardening use and I have a need for a reasonably robust labeling
system (UV / adhesion) for something primarily for internal use.

I want to be able to mark up draws and storage units but I'd like it
to be a bit bigger than the fairly narrow thermal tapes on my handheld
Dymo 'LetraTag' (LT-100H) machines and tape not individual labels (and
portable) than my Dymo label printer (450?) whilst being affordable
(to buy and consumables) please?

After a quick Google it seems there are a few choices but I'd prefer
some recommendation from those here that may have experienced some
different solutions (maybe at work) and believe there is one solution
that may stand out for some reason?

A wipeable / plasticised tape might be better than a straight paper
finish and I'm not particularly interested in different colours of
tape.

I don't need loads of fonts or graphics, just a VFM utility_level tool
that does basic text reliably and where consumable are readily
available please?

I use a Brother machine that takes TZ tapes. These are laminated tapes,
and produce good clear durable labelling. Tapes go from 3.5mm wide to 36
mm wide - although not all machines can take all the tape widths. I have
an old P-Touch 350 that will take 6 to 24mm tapes. Which covers pretty
much any standard use case.

They also do a heat shrink tube tape.

Lots of machines available - with quite a few industry specific options
(e.g. ones that can do network symbology, or electrical installation).

(you can get third party tapes as well now, which are cheaper)
