The Dymo Rhino 5200 is a handheld labelling machine that will have countless uses in many industries, particularly in industrial and construction environments, where the robust design copes easily with the demanding environment. It creates professional looking labels of up to five lines in a wide variety of sizes and on different materials. Short cut buttons can save time and increase workplace efficiency. Although it can be run off AA batteries, a lithium-ion battery will save money in the long run, especially if the machine will be in regular use. Because the batteries need to be purchased separately, this will bump up the initial price. The consumables are pricier than the average, but the extra cost is reflected in the high quality of the finished product.

The Dymo Rhino 5200 comes in a sturdy design with a yellow rubber casing permanently attached to the device. At the top of the device is a multi-line backlit LCD screen for designs and to check the status. A three bar battery life symbol allows the battery status to be monitored. The device takes 6, 9, 12 and 19mm tapes and can print labels up to five lines. Use the QWERTY keyboard and the stored industry signs to create the labels. The machine can store up to 99 labels in the memory.
