Casio’s New Label Printer Brings Sanrio’s ‘Balletcore’ Charm to Everyday Life
Casio Computer Co., Ltd. is set to release a delightful collaboration model, the ‘KL-SP10-SA2’ NAME LAND i-ma label printer, on December 4th. This pink-hued device, designed in partnership with Sanrio, allows users to create custom labels featuring popular Sanrio characters. Alongside the printer, a new series of six ‘XR-12SA’ Name Land tapes will also be available, each tailored to a specific character.

The ‘KL-SP10-SA2’ embraces a unique “balletcore” concept, dressing beloved characters in elegant dance attire. Hello Kitty, My Melody, and Kuromi don tutu-inspired outfits, while Cinnamoroll, Pompompurin, and Pochacco sport stylish jacket costumes. These charming, hand-drawn illustrations are silk-printed onto the printer’s body, creating a visually appealing device that feels more like a cherished collectible than a mere office tool.
Unleash Creativity with the Dedicated Smartphone App
The true magic of the NAME LAND i-ma lies in its dedicated smartphone application. This intuitive app provides a treasure trove of design content, allowing users to download 94 Sanrio character emojis, 36 frames, and 24 sample designs. Creating personalized labels for names, storage, or heartfelt messages becomes a simple, enjoyable process, transforming mundane tasks into moments of creative expression.

Matching Character Tapes Add a Splash of Color
To complement the printer, six new Name Land tapes (XR-12SA series) will be launched simultaneously. Each tape features one of the six popular Sanrio characters: Hello Kitty, Cinnamoroll, My Melody, Kuromi, Pompompurin, and Pochacco. The tape colors are thoughtfully matched to each character’s image, adding an extra layer of charm to every label. These 12mm wide tapes are versatile and compatible with all Name Land models, making them perfect for various organizational and decorative needs.

These tapes are not just for names and storage; they can add a personalized touch to gifts, scrapbooks, and daily items. Imagine organizing your accessories with a Hello Kitty label or adding a touch of Kuromi to your schedule!
