Nelko P21 Label Maker Machine with Tape, Bluetooth Label Printer, Black

For some reason, I got shipped the older model (in the older box, not the nice box like in the images), but it still has RFID to identify what size official Nelko replacement tape is being used.You pop in the tape, press the power button twice, and it’ll auto-set the label paper roll so it prints perfectly.Because of the RFID, you can only use official Nelko paper replacements (but I read if you peel the green sticker off an empty roll and put it on a generic refill, it’ll work since it thinks it’s genuine).I have only used expensive labeler before in a work environment, so this is pretty cool to have a personal device.Instead of ink ribbons (that are expensive) it does some type of thermal printing where it burns in the text. It looks like it was printed, but it’s inkless thermal printing.It’s lighter than I expected, but it worked right out of the box.You just download the app and it’ll show you how to pair. It only took 2 minutes to download the app, register (you now have to put in an email), and pair the label maker.The app is intuitive. I was worried it would be clunky but it’s a pretty good app.It needs to be a good app, since this only works with an app, via Bluetooth pairing.You’ll make your labels on your phone or iPad, and then click don’t and it prints nearly instantly. The app works in an iPad, and that’s what I use, since I don’t want my phone to control this.I tested 10 labels in various designs and they all printed very well, in dark black text, with no blurring or light text.You can make custom labels or use templates or make a custom label and save it as a template.You can add 3 lines of text and an image/icon… and you can drag and drop things to position. You can pinch to resize or use a slider so all things are the perfect size and fit like you want them to fit and look like you want them to look.It’s pretty cool and you can make some cool custom labels for whatever you need.It’s got preloaded icons, fonts, and some templates… but you have to pay for the premium templates. It’s easy to avoid any paid content though, it’s got a little yellow label for anything that requires a subscription. I’m never going to subscribe, so I like that it’s got so many free options.You don’t need premium templates though.You can create your own and then save it as a template.Since you can custom size icons, text, and lines of text, it makes things really cool since you can put big letting at the top with smaller writing at the bottom, and have an icon for quick identification.Overall, I thought this would be “cheap” and since I was shipped an older model for some reason, it’s lighter than it should be… but it works and it works well.The app really defines these budget thermal printers. Some have terrible apps that make everything a pain, some have apps that are clunky, and some have apps that have a clean UI and pair instantly while allowing you to save templates.I got an extra roll of tape as another item, so I can use this for ages.It charges fine (but avoid fast charging), the labels are easy to peel off, if needed (and leave NO residue)… and these really are rub proof, oil proof, and they only issue I can see is long term labels eventually being rubbed clean.I was going to get a slightly more expensive one, but heard the app is good for this model so I got it since the app controls everything… and they were right. It’s a good app, a good label maker, and it works. The app defines these label makers.It does feel sort of cheap since it’s so light, but for this price, who cares as long as it works, pairs, prints reliably, and can customize labels to precisely fit your needs. Which it does.This is a great pick for a label maker. This works well and I cannot stress that when looking for these budget label makers to look at the app. The app controls everything, so if it’s a bad app it’s going to make even a great product cumbersome to use.The app rocks, is easy to use, and allows users credible customization for multi-line text, icons, resizing, having different fonts for every part of text… and really just a neat device.I’m labeling everything now!The tape is 14mm which is about 1/2 wide.I wanted 12mm… but you can just cut the label to make it smaller.It comes with little tear off labels that are spaced about .25” apart. But that makes peeling off the label easier.It is not a continuous label maker where it’s just a single strip. It’s little labels in a strip of label paper that print within the label areas, cut off, then peel to stick.I love that the labels can be removed since I use them for things that get swapped out often so I can’t have permanent labels.I was shocked at how good this thing is for the price. It just works!It pairs and prints nice, and the app is very pleasant to use.I’m glad I got this. If you are going to go buck wild on labeling, don’t forget to pick up an extra roll. It’s really good for the price and it’s cool to design labels.

Bought this to finally organize all the cables and bins in my garage and office. Pairing with my phone over Bluetooth was easy and the app is straightforward. Prints clear labels and the tape that came with it works fine.I like that it’s portable and doesn’t need to stay plugged in the whole time. Battery lasts long enough for a good labeling session. The labels stick well and haven’t peeled off yet. Only small complaint is the cutter could be a bit sharper, but it’s not a big deal. Overall really useful and does the job.

I bought the white version of this label maker, and I’m really pleased with it. Ease of use is a big plus for me, and I found it simple to use without feeling like making labels was a project in itself.The printed labels looked fantastic, and I was very happy with the results. Having something that’s easy to use and produces labels I’m pleased with makes this a worthwhile purchase for me. If you’re looking for a straightforward label maker, this one has been a great choice in my experience.

This little Bluetooth label maker has been a really useful tool overall, especially for quick organization projects around the house. Setup was simple, and connecting it to my phone through the companion app was fast and straightforward. The app itself is user-friendly and gives a good amount of customization options for labels, including text, icons, and barcodes.The print quality is generally solid, and I especially like the individual sticker labels, which peel easily and stick well to different surfaces. For normal text labels, everything comes out clear and clean.My only real issue has been with barcode printing. If the barcode is too detailed or printed too small, it can end up looking muddled or difficult to scan. Printing larger usually fixes the issue, but it’s something to keep in mind if you plan to use this mainly for inventory or barcode-heavy labeling.Overall, this is still a very handy and reliable little label maker with good connectivity, a solid app experience, and quality labels.

An absolute treasure at $17.00!I was using my Brother label maker for marking all my crafting parts & pieces. But that process was getting so tedious, time consuming, and expensive with the cost of Tz cartridges.This Nelko P21 label maker is fantastic, and the labels are very affordable.The phone app is relatively straight forward and pretty simple to use. Labels can be customized with different fonts, graphics, and images. The app has a large variety of pre-made labels that are easily modified to your needs.There is a version for Windows PC, but it was very limited on both options and operations.I wish I had known about this little gem before now.I highly recommend the Nelko P21 Label Maker Machine, especially if your aim is to mark lots of parts and supplies in a cost effective way.I bought an inexpensive case that fits the printer, cables, wall plug, etc.

Buy it! I am a teacher and needed a label maker to help me create materials and this did not disappoint!More details: this label maker is the perfect size and very user friendly. You just download the app, connect via blue tooth, and you can play around with the templates they have or make your own design from scratch. To turn it on you do have to hold the power button for a few seconds until you hear a beep (I kept pressing the button and thought something was wrong because nothing happened, you need to hold it down which is in the instructions lol). You need to do the same to turn it off.I tested several things out, the first label you make will probably come out cut off because of having to pull the roll out a bit from how it’s originally packaged (will have a green arrow at the end of the new roll to pull out and feed through printer opening of device). Just expect that the first label you print will be a test label and you may have to discard and print the same design again. The device auto moves the roll up so once the first one is printed, do not mess with it just let it do its thing and the rest will be fine! I also tested out the cutting function, just cut the roll after you print the last label, do not pull on the label and adjust the length when cutting! It will cut the last label out perfectly fine. I then printed another label right after cutting to see what would happen, the roll comes out without an issue so the device aligns it perfectly fine even if you do not see the label paper hanging out!The labels did not smudge, I did leave it alone for a few minutes. I also wasn’t gentle when applying them to my materials and smoothing them down, so I’d say the ink is holding up thus far. The quality is reasonable and I’d say is worth it considering all the pros. Of course it is a small device and the image quality will not be super detailed due to size but it’s as expected. Some designs will lend themselves to being more clear (some will look pixelated, and intricate details won’t be discernible) so keep that in mind!I noticed the green version had the highest reviews and most negative reviews were the other colors, not sure if that matters but it influenced which one I chose.I can’t speak to how it’ll hold up after the kids get their hands on it, and details on wear and tear but I will update if my review changes drastically!

The last 8 years I was used DYMO label maker but it get old and a buttery died. I was looking an original OEM battery but found only replaceable for $25. And then I saw this small portable NELKO P21 label maker for $17, and decided to try it. Well I was surprised how easy and fast it works. It’s wireless, uses bluetooth connections. The app easy to use, you can make your own templates and save them, or you can buy a new one, and of course you can print on other languages, P21 supports 29 languages, but it uses only simple fonts. P21 label maker works only with fixed length labels, 14x40 mm (one roll is included), 14x50 mm, 14x75 mm, also 12x40 mm and 15x30 mm, but it prints only black letters. NELKO P21 is rechargeable, power USB-C cable is included. For me NELKO P21 temporary replacement to DYMO.

Works exactly as described and prints fast and easy. Bought it to label some organizer bins but seems versatile and like I can do some fun stickers for family. Not a fan of the AI features and subscription option, but so far it seems to be exactly that, an option. So long as it remains as such, I am fine with out. Looks clean, but feels a bit cheap. Not a deal break and worth the asking price if you can nab it on sale. Not sure about its MSRP, but I like it.

Rezension:Ich habe mir den Nelko P21 Etikettendrucker bestellt, um endlich Ordnung in meine Gewürze, Vorratsdosen und das Kabelchaos im Arbeitszimmer zu bringen. Um es kurz zu machen: Ich bin absolut begeistert!Gerät & Verbindung:Der Drucker ist super kompakt, federleicht und sieht schick aus. Die Verbindung über Bluetooth mit meinem Smartphone klappte auf Anhieb und läuft absolut stabil. Genial finde ich, dass das Gerät per USB-C geladen wird und durch die Thermodruck-Technologie keinerlei teure Tinte nachgekauft werden muss.App & Druckergebnis:Die App bietet eine riesige Auswahl an Schriftarten, kleinen Rahmen und Symbolen. Man kann sich gestalterisch richtig austoben und sogar Barcodes oder QR-Codes erstellen. Der Druck selbst geht blitzschnell und das Ergebnis bei 203 DPI ist gestochen scharf. Die Etiketten lassen sich dank des integrierten manuellen Cutters sauber abschneiden und kleben hervorragend auf Glas und Plastik.Fazit:Ein fantastischer kleiner Helfer für einen wirklich schmalen Taler. Wer einfach und schnell Beschriftungen im Haushalt, Büro oder für die Schule erstellen möchte, macht hier absolut nichts falsch. Klare Kaufempfehlung!

Good!! As expected

Wat een geweldige labelprinter. De bediening is eenvoudig. Koppelen aan tablet en telefoon gaat snel d.m.v. Bluetooth. Het ontwerpen is leuk om te doen. Veel keus uit kaders, lettertypen en afbeeldingen, etc. Printen gaat razendsnel. De etiketten plakken goed. Tekst vlekt niet omdat er geen inkt aan te pas komt. Groot succes! Ik kan hem iedereen aanraden. Gebruik wel de originele labelrollen van Nelko.

👌 Une prise en main très simpleJ'ai été agréablement surpris par cette étiqueteuse Nelko P21.

Elle est pratique, simple à utiliser et permet de créer des étiquettes personnalisées sans se compliquer la vie.💬 Mon bilanUne petite étiqueteuse sans fil que j'apprécie pour sa simplicité et les possibilités offertes par son application.
