Brothers' are fine; buy the tapes that have the split-down-the-middle backing on them. It reduces the unpeeling problem from more-time-than-the-label-took-to-type-in to about 2 seconds. You just grab the edges at an end and bend it, so the backing bulges outwards, and off it starts to come.
Well, that's the theory anyway. The reality is that the split doesn't quite split, and because the tape is so small, you need a child's fingers to open it out. If you're doing all the labelling after a long day's work, you might have worked up a sweat, in which case your hands will be covered with salt - and we all know how well labels stick after being pawed at with a salty fingernail.
