Check the D1 width list for your model
Find the full name and model number of your DYMO printer. D1 Standard is sold across five widths, but that range describes the tape family. It does not describe what one machine can load. Use the width list for your model before comparing different pack sizes or finishes.
| DYMO model | Listed D1 widths | Uses 12 mm 45013? |
|---|---|---|
| LabelManager 160 | 6, 9 and 12 mm | Yes |
| LabelManager 280 | 6, 9 and 12 mm | Yes |
| LabelManager 420P | 6, 9, 12 and 19 mm | Yes |
| LabelManager 500TS | 6, 9, 12, 19 and 24 mm | Yes |
A 12 mm D1 Standard refill can be shared between the four machines shown. If you add 19 mm for shelf labels on a 420P or 500TS, store it with the wider printer or mark the box with the machines that accept it.
Use the actual space on the item to narrow the choice. A short identifier can fit on 6 mm tape if the label is read close up. A folder title may need 9 or 12 mm. For a shelf marker you read across a room, check whether your model can use 19 or 24 mm and preview a short design at the intended distance. The printable height is smaller than the tape width.
Identify D1 before ordering a cassette
Look for D1 and the width on the package. Standard D1 uses thermal transfer. Its ribbon is part of the cassette, so routine printing requires the matching cassette and power. The label maker prints onto continuous tape and cuts it to the job’s length within the model’s limits.
The DYMO name appears on different supply systems. A LetraTag uses a LetraTag cassette. A LabelWriter 550 uses a LabelWriter roll. DYMO’s LabelWriter Duo has both a roll side and a D1 cassette side. If you use a Duo, consult the manual for the width and tray setting, and select the tape side when sending a job.
Check the name carefully on second-hand machines. LabelManager 450D and LabelWriter 450 Duo refer to different devices. DYMO documents D1 cassettes for both in its guides, but the loading arrangement and software depend on the model.
Read the 45013 code, tape length and pack quantity
45013 is the familiar reference for the genuine 12 mm black-on-white D1 Standard cassette that DYMO lists as S0720530. Each cassette holds 7 m of tape. The featured Amazon listing contains five of those cassettes. The product quantity describes the cassettes in the pack, while the 7 m length describes each cassette.
For a shared office that labels the same style of folder or stock bin every week, a five-pack can make restocking simpler. If you are trying a new surface or confirming the right width, start by checking a sample from a compatible cassette you already own. Compare the delivered price per metre only after matching the material and width.

Choose between D1 Standard and a listed specialist tape
DYMO specifies D1 Standard for applications on many clean, flat surfaces such as paper, plastic, glass and metal. A black-on-white label works well for file spines, desk drawers and other ordinary identification jobs where the contrast matters.
For shelves or equipment that are regularly wiped, check the exact D1 Durable material and its model compatibility. DYMO describes Durable variants intended for water and cleaner exposure. Start with the expected cleaning conditions and check the tape specification for those conditions. For textured or low-adhesion surfaces, try a label on a small patch of the item before buying a multipack.
The cassette fit and the adhesive’s performance are separate checks. A label can print neatly and still lift from a dusty, curved or textured surface. Wipe and dry the area as the surface manufacturer advises, then apply the label to the flattest practical part and press its edges down.
Set the tape width and check one label
Load the cassette according to the model’s diagram. Check the leading tape and ribbon are positioned as shown in the cassette instructions. On models with a manual tape-width setting, change it to the cassette you just installed. The LabelManager 160 manual, for example, explains how to set the width and which line counts are available.
For a folder label, preview the full name and any date or reference. If the design is cramped, shorten the text or choose a supported wider tape. Print one label, check its edges and position it on the intended surface before printing the rest.
If the machine reports a width or tape error, compare the cassette code with the model list and reseat the cassette following its guide. If the ribbon and tape emerge together, DYMO’s D1 support page covers checking for slack or damage in the cassette. Use those instructions for your machine before feeding further tape.

Common questions
Does D1 45013 fit the LabelManager 160 or 280?
Yes. Both support 12 mm DYMO D1. The 45013, also labelled S0720530, is a 12 mm × 7 m black-on-white D1 Standard cassette.
Does the LabelManager 420P accept 24 mm tape?
DYMO lists 6, 9, 12 and 19 mm D1 widths for the 420P. The 500TS is a model that also accepts 24 mm D1.
Does DYMO D1 tape fit a LetraTag machine?
A LetraTag uses its own LT cassette family. Buy a 12 mm LetraTag refill for the LT-100H, LT-100T or 200B. The 12 mm measurement alone does not identify the cassette.
Can I use D1 in a DYMO LabelWriter?
DYMO lists D1 for the cassette compartment of the LabelWriter Duo. For a LabelWriter 550 series machine, choose a compatible Authentic DYMO LabelWriter roll. Check the complete model name before ordering.
How much tape is in the featured 45013 pack?
It contains five 7 m cassettes, each 12 mm wide, for 35 m of nominal tape. Check the selected pack when comparing with a single cassette. Usable length also depends on how much blank tape your layouts and machine leave between labels.
