The best label makers for organising your home from head to toe

Tried & tested by Closer writer Ruby Barry: "I've had the Dymo LetraTag for a couple of years now, and it has never faltered in being my organisational genie. Not only can you change the formatting to create different font sizes, print styles, borders and two-line printing, but there is a save button where you can save previous designs for re-use, which is so useful. You can also change the type of labelling tape used, my favourite being the silver tape. From my experience, the labels the machine created have lasted years. Sure, it's not the prettiest looking thing, but I've got it stored away for whenever I want to use it... which is all the time."

If you've got a friend or family member who loves to organise and keep things orderly, the NIIMBOT Label Maker is the perfect gift. Presented in a gorgeous, retro style, the NIIMBOT can be connected to your phone via an app, making it an ultra-modern option for the younger generation. Reviewers love how quick it is to set up, printing within minutes of getting it out of the box. We know it will look so cute on a shelf, as much a trinket as a label maker.

If you've seen label-making content on Instagram (if you don't have #labelmaking saved on search, what are you doing) then you'll likely have seen the iconic black and white vintage-looking Dymo labels at work. Also, it is the most affordable label maker on our list. The turn-and-click embossing works differently than the typical thermal printing method of most makers, but the result is a unique, antique-esque label that is oh-so-chic.

If you're looking for a label maker and photo printer combo, splurge a bit more cash for this impressive Brother model. As well as the labels, the photos will also have a sticky-back label, making decorating or journalling ultra easy. Again, this label maker uses an app (the Colour Label Editor app to be exact, available on iOS and Android), which is filled with thousands of designs including fonts, artwork, frames, emojis and backgrounds.

Want something small and sweet? The PRT label maker is tiny at just 8.7 by 8.4 cm and comes in a bunch of cute pastel colours. The HEREPrint app connected with the maker can make various texts, numbers, symbols, graphics, QR codes, logos and even barcodes. Perfect if you're a small business. Reviewers rave about the quality of the print, praising that there is no smudging or fading on any of the labels printed thus far.

Looking straight out of the 90s, this label maker from Brother is surprisingly high-tech. One feature that we particularly love is its cable labelling function, ideal for making labels that wrap around cables. No more wires hanging all over the place. Ah, bliss. Be warned though, as it's a high-tech piece of gear, reviews warn it weighs a little more than other label makers. Sometimes you want a bit of weight to electronic items though - it makes them feel that little bit sturdier.

Having vertical labels as well as horizontal ones can come in mighty useful for labelling things like racks or binders. Luckily for you, the Brother PT-100R model does just that, as well as the other classic features of a label maker. One review states that with their new Brother, anything that sits still is getting labelled. Amen to that. Reviews especially like the sharp cutting edge - no more clicking multiple times to get a label out, only to have frayed edges.
