Brother Genuine Matte Silver Tape
Brother TZe-M961 — 36mm Black on Silver
Genuine Brother TZe-M961 laminated label tape — 36mm x 8m, black on silver. Six layers with the printed text sealed between two protective films, tested by Brother from -80°C to +150°C and through two hours of chemical submersion. Fits any P-touch that takes TZe cassettes 36mm or wider.
Key Features
Brother's Own Pick for Heat
Of every TZe colour, Brother names black on matte silver as the most resistant to discolouration at high temperature. If a label lives near something hot, this is the one the manufacturer points at.
Matte, Not Mirror
A matte metallic base reads cleanly under workshop lighting and photographs without glare — which is why it is the usual choice for asset tags, plant and machinery plates.
Full Laminated Durability
Six layers, -80°C to +150°C, unaffected by 50 passes of a 1kg sanding head and by two hours submerged in acetone, ethanol or dilute acid.

Need-to-Know
Black on silver is the same tape in several widths, and the only thing that changes between them is whether your machine can take it. Wider tape needs a bigger machine — this is the ladder.
| Tape | Part number | Fits machines taking | Length |
|---|---|---|---|
| 12mm Black on Silver | TZe-M931 | Every TZe machine | 8m |
| 18mm Black on Silver | TZe-M941 | 18mm machines and wider | 8m |
| 24mm Black on Silver | TZe-M951 | 24mm machines and wider | 8m |
| 36mm Black on Silver (this page) | TZe-M961 | 36mm machines only | 8m |
Widths above are the ones we carry in this colour and finish. Apart from width they are identical, so pick by the machine you own.

Frequently Asked Questions
It fits any Brother P-touch label maker that accepts TZe cassettes 36mm wide or wider — that includes the PT-P900W. It will not fit the PT-H110, PT-D210, PT-D410, PT-D600, PT-D610BT, PT-P750W or PT-E550W: those machines top out below 36mm and the cassette physically will not load. If your machine currently has a TZe cassette in it and takes this width, this one will go straight in. Not sure? Send us the model number and we will confirm before you order.
Yes — an original Brother cassette, not a compatible. It matters more here than on most consumables: the durability figures on this page are Brother's own test results for Brother's own six-layer laminate, and a compatible cassette is a different product that has not been through those tests.
It depends entirely on how long your labels are and what margin the machine is set to, so any single figure would be misleading. What is fixed is the cassette length: 8 metres. As a rough guide, a 40mm label consumes about 50mm of tape once the machine's leading and trailing margins are added, so an 8m cassette gives you roughly 160 of them. Set a narrower margin in the machine's settings and you get noticeably more.
Yes. Brother's own testing puts laminated TZe from -80°C to +150°C, with no print discolouration after two hours submerged in water, ethanol, acetone or hydrochloric acid, and legible text after 478 hours of simulated sunlight — roughly a year outdoors. Background colour holds up well on this tape — black, white, blue and green were among the best performers in that test.
Yes — Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah and UAE-wide, with a VAT invoice on every order. If you are ordering tape for a site or a fleet of machines, message us with the models and we will confirm the full list of what fits before anything ships.
