NIIMBOT B21 Label Maker

Bluetooth portable thermal label printer with app-based design tools and 50x30 mm starter labels

The NIIMBOT B21 is a compact, inkless label maker that prints monochrome labels using thermal technology, avoiding cartridges and drying ink. It connects by Bluetooth to iOS and Android phones through the NIIMBOT app, which supports custom layouts, icons, borders, barcodes, and QR codes for home, office, and small-business organization. 


The device includes a starter roll of 50x30 mm labels and is sized for quick storage in drawers or craft bins. It is designed for general labeling rather than large-format shipping labels.

Full Review & Insights ▼

The B21 is positioned as a flexible label maker for everyday organization and light business use. Its main advantage is thermal printing, which keeps maintenance simple and allows quick, clean output for pantry jars, storage bins, cables, and product packaging. Print clarity is generally strong for text and simple graphics at its stated resolution, and the app offers a broad range of templates and visual elements that make it easier to standardize labels across a home or workspace.


Setup is straightforward through the phone app, and automatic label identification helps reduce guesswork when swapping rolls. The portability is practical, with a rechargeable battery intended for several hours of intermittent printing. For desk use, the compact size is a benefit, although label alignment for smaller formats can take a bit of fiddling until the roll is seated correctly.


There are also realistic limitations. The B21 is app-dependent for most users, so the experience is tied to software design choices. Some features appear gated behind optional paid content, which can create confusion if expecting all templates and elements to be included. 


Charging behavior may also require attention, as some charging cable and power combinations do not behave consistently. Finally, long-term reliability feedback is mixed, with occasional reports of fading output or early malfunction, which makes it better suited to moderate use rather than mission-critical labeling.

Our Take on the Product

The NIIMBOT B21 is a practical label maker for people who want fast, tidy labels without ink maintenance. It performs well for home organization, hobby storage, and small business labeling where monochrome output is sufficient. The strongest aspect is the app-driven design system, which makes repeatable label creation easy and supports barcodes and QR codes. 


The main limitations are software expectations and longevity: some features may require paid access, and reliability can vary over time. It is best suited for moderate, regular labeling rather than heavy-duty production work.

What devices can the NIIMBOT B21 connect to?
It is designed for iOS and Android phones via Bluetooth using the NIIMBOT app. iPad use is not supported, and PC use requires a separate driver.


Does it need ink or toner?
No, it uses thermal printing, so there are no ink cartridges. Labels rely on thermal paper, which must be replaced when rolls run out.
