QL-820NWBVM Li-ion rechargeable battery base

Optional Li-ion battery base

There are situations where you may need to print labels away from a power source, such as use on a portable trolley and printing from a tablet in retail, healthcare or similar industries. The optional Li-ion battery base has a fast charge function, and lasts for thousands of labels on a full charge.

Black and red visitor badges printed on a Brother QL-820NWBVM badge printer

Print in black and red

The QL-820NWBcVM also enables printing in black and red over the entire printable area of the label using the Brother DK-22205 label roll, ensuring key information is highlighted such as “valid on” dates.

Direct-to-clothing labels

As an alternative to the non-adhesive roll, the Brother DK-11234 self-adhesive badge labels have been developed to stick directly to clothing. As no clip-on badge holder is required it makes it ideal for handing out to guests arriving at events. Once each guest leaves, they can simply peel off the label before disposing of it.
