LT-100H for quick labels without a phone
The LT-100H puts an alphabetical keyboard and a display in your hand. It suits a job where you want to type a short label while standing beside a drawer, print it and put the machine away. The keyboard layout takes a little getting used to if you usually type on QWERTY. It keeps the whole workflow on the labeller, including preview, size, style and frames. DYMO specifies support for two lines and memory for nine labels. DYMO LT-100H UK product details
It uses four AA alkaline batteries in the UK manual. Load a suitable 12 mm LetraTag cassette and print one short test before you label several drawers. Check whether the machine comes with your preferred starter tape. If you already own the LT-100H, the step-by-step setup guide covers loading, preview and the cutter. DYMO LT-100H UK user guide
Best for simple paper labels
DYMO LetraTag LT-100H
A straightforward choice for file tabs and other dry indoor jobs, especially if you already keep LetraTag refills. The built-in screen shows the text before you print.
Keep in mind. It takes only 12 mm LetraTag media, so there’s no narrower cassette for a tight spine. The keyboard is alphabetical rather than QWERTY.
- 12 mm LetraTag
- ABC keyboard
- 4 AA batteries
LT-200B for a phone-based design workflow
The LT-200B leaves text entry and editing to the DYMO LetraTag Connect mobile app. It suits a job where you want to work through a list of spice names or choose the style on a familiar screen. Check the app listing against your phone or tablet before ordering. The printer connects through Bluetooth in the app, and DYMO describes a workflow without manual pairing. If the app cannot see the printer, check the device's Bluetooth and permissions and follow DYMO's instructions for reconnecting. DYMO LetraTag 200B UK details · DYMO LetraTag Connect troubleshooting
The 200B also uses four AA batteries and prints on compatible 12 mm LetraTag cassettes. A two-line design can fit a short name and number, but preview the text at size before printing a long phrase. The Value Pack featured here lists three assorted starter tapes. DYMO's UK standard pack page describes one paper tape. Check the exact offer if a particular tape matters to your first job.

DYMO LetraTag 200B Bluetooth Value Pack
A phone-controlled label maker with three assorted starter tapes. It uses 12 mm LetraTag cassettes for indoor labels, including supported paper and plastic options.
Keep in mind. Use the LetraTag Connect app on a compatible phone or tablet. Budget for four AA batteries and check the exact tape material for the surface.

- Bluetooth mobile app
- Four AA batteries
Keep the refill family, change the way you design
If you already use LetraTag paper for files or compatible plastic tape for storage, the LT-200B may let you keep buying the same 12 mm media while switching to a phone. Check your actual cassette code against the LetraTag tape compatibility guide and the maker's instructions. DYMO D1, LabelWriter rolls and 9 mm manual embossing tape each belong to separate systems.
A 12 mm cassette does not provide a 12 mm high print. Put the longest text on one sample and test it on the smallest drawer, box or jar. For a narrow folder edge or large bin heading, measure before committing to the LetraTag range. Consider other label tape widths if the label you need will not fit. Use the tape material and adhesive guidance for the surface, especially if the label will be cleaned or handled repeatedly.
Decide where you will type and what you need to keep
Imagine printing your next five labels. For five short names as you tidy one room, the 100H lets you stay with the printer and type each name as you reach the drawer. For a planned set of matching labels, the 200B gives you a phone interface for working through the names and layouts. Both still require cassette changes when you move to a different material or colour.
If your LT-100H already prints every label you need, the main reason to change is the app workflow. The maximum tape width stays at 12 mm, so consider the wide tape buying guide if you need more room. If you are starting from scratch and dislike using a phone for household jobs, the 100H remains the simpler workflow.
Try the same name and number on one label before doing the rest. On the LT-100H, use the printer's preview and keep the two lines short enough to read. On the LT-200B, check the layout in LetraTag Connect and print one copy before making any duplicates. When you change from paper to plastic, check the sample again on the intended surface. Tape material and colour can affect how clearly you read the label even when you keep the text the same.
If two people will use the printer, consider who normally replaces labels. A standalone keyboard gives both people access without setting up a phone. A shared printer with an app can work when each person has a compatible device and is comfortable connecting through the app. Keep the exact refill code with the printer so either person can replenish it.
