Editorial review
If you've been looking for a compact, easy-to-use label maker that won't clutter your desk or your budget, the Nelko P21 is worth a close look. At just half the weight and size of traditional label makers, this wireless Bluetooth printer slips easily into a pocket, so you can print labels from your phone anywhere around the house or office.
The P21 uses direct thermal technology, which means you never need ink or toner—just the thermal paper rolls. It prints at 203 DPI, which is plenty sharp for barcodes, text, and simple graphics. The built-in rechargeable battery lasts long enough for extended sessions, and the app offers over 3,600 icons, 700 borders, and 750 templates to work with. You can design labels with text, QR codes, barcodes, and even time stamps. The app connects via Bluetooth to both iOS and Android phones (note: it's not compatible with Google phones running Android 14, and it doesn't work with computers).
One thing to keep in mind: this printer only prints in black monochrome. To add color, you'd use pre-colored pattern tapes. Also, charging adapter is not included, so you'll need a standard USB-C brick. The labels come in fixed lengths like 14×40mm and 14×75mm; continuous tape is not supported.
Right now, the Nelko P21 is available for $17.99, down from its usual $25.99 list price. That's a 31% discount, saving you $8.00. For a portable, no-fuss label maker that covers everyday organizing needs—from pantry jars to classroom name tags—this is a solid deal.
Price trend
Normally priced at $25.99, the Nelko P21 is currently selling for $17.99—a clear $8.00 saving that's hard to ignore. This 31% discount brings it below the typical range for Bluetooth label makers.
