DYMO Embossing Label Maker, Includes 3 DYMO Label Tapes, Organizer Xpress Pro Starter Kit - Ergonomic Design, For Home DIY & Crafting

Years ago I had an electronic version of this and it always needed fresh batteries when I went to use it and the multiple different functions and buttons just got in the way when I all I wanted to do was print a label quickly! This is cheap, cheerful and gets the job done. Came with a total of three reels of tape which are quite long too. My son messed with this and it stopped working - quick search on you tube and found the solution- the top and bottom reels were no longer aligned. 3 second fix. I saw in previous reviews that some people said you had to squeeze really hard to get a proper impression of the letter. Honestly, I don't find this to be the case. I have even suffered some weakness in my hands of late due to neurological condition that effects my strength/grip and I can still use it just fine, my 9 year old too. It even perforates the tape when you cut to make peeling the paper off the back super easy. For $10 you really cut go wrong, great little tool!!

My last Dymo label maker broke the other day, I had just bought 3 refills from Dymo for it so I could do a labeling project but it broke, it was probably 10 years old or so and I loved it. Had a good run with it so I bought this newer one (I had the blue/grey one) and just got it and it won't type full words and it cuts with difficulty. The test strip that says DYMO from the factory looks great but as you can see in the pictures I tried and tried and tried and only once did it work. I was so happy for about 15 seconds.... EDIT: Got a replacement the next day, i'm not joking, i REALLY wanted this, and IT WORKS! Fingers crossed though since it is making some noises my old one didn't but already made several tags and it is printing and cutting perfectly. YES!!!

This is not my first, nor my second, go-round with the Dymo Organizer Xpress. It's generally junk, as other reviewers have pointed out. Will this hand up to light-duty projects around the house? I don't know. Maybe. Is it suitable for me managing operations for a multi-million dollar utility program for field installers? Oh, absolutely not, but I didn't even assume it would be. I got through a whole roll with only having to discard about six inches of didn't-stamp-right tape and then the whole thing just ate it. Were the arrows aligned on the wheelie thing? Yes. Still, no dice. As other reviewers have pointed out, the biggest problem with this is that the device is made with positively flimsy materials. It's not just that it's plastic-- like, there are plenty of heavy duty things that are plastic. It's that the important parts are also plastic when they should be metal. Like, maybe replace the plastic parts that do the actual stamping with some precision tool steel or something. Would I pay $20 for this instead of $10 if it held up better? Yeah. Would I pay $30? Absolutely. Why, then, is this a piece of junk for $10? Come on, Dymo. The tape that it comes with has lousy adhesive, so I've often had to resort to using hot glue, CA, or even tape to secure labels to things, because otherwise they'll fall off. Smooth, shiny, powder-coated metal? Won't stay on long, for the most part. Paper? Maybe if it's sitting flat and never moves. I don't know. I have one that's been on my bike for months, puzzlingly, but labels I've put on my big tool box have all come off (and that tool box never moves and I never even touch the labels, so I don't know?). Dymo's customer support is also horrendous. After spending half an hour on the phone with someone, the instructions they gave me were to do the thing I told them I had already done (check the wheel alignment). Please avail yourself of a better brand.

This product does work well while embossing labels. On the downside, however, these do break or jam if used with high pressure or if pulling on the label whilst cutting. These things can break with ease if misused and are very very hard to repair. However, these labels come out nice in the end. They have a perforated tab on the end of the label for ease of peeling. I had to buy this (more than) twice because the first one broke after the first successful label (manufacturing defect - the mechanism was kind of deformed). Anyway, I recommend this product to you if you're looking for an embosser. -- TIPS -- On some of these embossers, you may need to do a space at the very end because the last letter on the label might be cut off or touching the edge depending on your embosser's slight variants. When the disks are not aligned properly, you cannot print labels correctly. Ensure they're aligned. If there are problems in the device please ensure that nothing is broken or deformed. -- UPDATES -- Dec 1, 2021: Well, something isn't quite right here. It looks like the cutter is not working anymore (still kind of perforating, but not cutting) but letters are still embossing. Had to MacGyver a fix by hot-gluing half of a razor blade to the top of the label feed to be able to cut new labels again. Because this fix is not ideal, I have decided to purchase yet another one of these labelers. Yes, the arrows were aligned properly, but it seems the internal cutter just became dull. Dec 3, 2021: New embosser just arrived. It seems to work pretty well right now. I'll keep you guys updated when something happens to the labeler. Dec 7, 2021: Okay, now both of them are jamming frequently, and one of them are not clicking upon squeezing the trigger. There isn't anything stuck (yes - I actually parted the entire device for inspection) inside the machine. The trigger's inner feed pull lever actually broke off. Hooray. I really liked this thing at first, but after lots of use, this thing will just, well, fail. You might as well just purchase a Rotex instead of this, just because these plastic paperweights are super cheaply made... Dec 9, 2021: Now it kind of works, but it jams sometimes, and the tape will get misaligned each cut, preventing the label from feeding. Jan 2, 2022: Bought a used embosser. Feb 16, 2022: That one's cutter dulled out but most of the letters still print. Feb 26, 2022: A couple letters were deformed on the lower disk causing it to not print these properly. Oh well. Mar 3, 2022: Okay, so for that embosser mentioned above, I had actually swapped out the lower disk on it with another one because of what all happened. Mar 19, 2022: I'm done with the aforementioned embosser tool. Bought a new one, however I have had good luck with the other one I have that never had a deformed lower disk. Mar 23, 2022: Currently we are having good luck with both of my existing embossers. They both are operational and work well. I'll let you know when one has a problem. [ SPH recommends this product ]

I love this little label maker. The labels are just freaking adorable. The bad reviews are in my opinion mostly user error. Except of course for the ones where the machine is broken. Once I select the character I want, I use both hands to squeeze the trigger and hold for a couple of seconds before releasing and the embossing comes out very nicely. -The labels are definitely on the smaller side, smaller than I thought but they still work great for labeling smaller items. If you’re labeling larger things you might want to spring for the larger model. Or even if you’re just more spendy than me, the larger seemed too expensive for me. -The labels have really good stickiness. It takes me forever to take the back off but that’s because I have very short nails and very bad coordination. -It doesn’t feel sturdy. The label maker is very lightweight and feels cheap. If I dropped it on hard flooring I think it might break altogether or maybe that the back cover where the tape loads might pop off for good since it feels delicate. For the price I don’t mind, I don’t expect it to last forever and when it does break I will buy another one. If you look at my SAMPLE 1 in my pictures you can see that you should definitely put a space AFTER your last character or the label gets cut too short. If you look at SAMPLE 2 you can see that white shadow on the upper left corner. If you don’t want that marking on your label, put a space BEFORE your first character and AFTER your last character. If you look at SAMPLE 3, you can see it’s not as clearly embossed as when I use two hands to squeeze the trigger.

[Updated Review]: Okay, so I felt the need to come back and apologize -- this labeler is, in fact, NOT a PoS -- what IS an issue, though is the lack of instruction this product comes with just sets it up for failure. There's two little arrows on each of the two rotating disks (under the cutting slot) and they need to match up, or it just completely stops embossing... Unfortunately, the main action of this device is to fling those disks around, so it's pretty easy to accidentally un-align the two halves without realizing... SO, when that does inevitably happen (and because there are absolutely ZERO mentions of this in the non-instructions the item comes with) it really just seems like it's stopped functioning, for no discernable reason. [OG Review]: Listen to all the reviews telling you this thing is crap!! Literally got through maybe 10 words before it stopped embossing... What a PoS -- returning!

Embossing is difficult to read and it kept getting jammed. it no longer worked after a week and after trying to fix it a several times after jamming. I just gave up and purchased a different brand. The vintage ones were way better back in the day (as someone whom used them in the 80s).

Love the vintage look and the fact that it doesn’t need batteries. It is very easy to use, just rotate the wheel for each letter. I thought it might have been broken after using it a bunch but it turned out the arrows on the side got misaligned and needed to be aligned again, have used it without issue since then.

نفس الوصف وممتازه ومفيده

Ja uso bastante esse modelo e muito boa nao apaga pq e auto relevo

Love it, simple and easy!

Produit très efficace, bonne adhérence des étiquettes sur du verre ou du plastique. Il faut tout de même forcer sur la poignée pour faire le marquage des lettres.

Doet wat het moet doen, maar heel licht van materiaal, klepje voor het embleem rolletje vast moeten kleven klikt niet dicht.
