HockeyFan12 Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 I love putting my name on things so I'm excited to have found a Brother label maker on sale at Staples. I want to label lenses etc. so if I have an assistant or something he or she can identify them, and so things don't get mixed up if I rent equipment. Does anyone have any advice for doing this? Should I include phone number in case someone is extremely honest and I lose something? Label cables, too? Color coding? Should I label the cases? SD cards? This looks fun: https://www.amazon.com/Unistar-Standard-Laminated-Compatible-Brother/dp/B01FJRURW4/ref=sxbs_sxwds-stvp?keywords=oem+brother+label+tape&pd_rd_i=B01FJRURW4&pd_rd_r=ab02dc4c-fb3e-4597-ac39-5963d91998e9&pd_rd_w=rd5q1&pd_rd_wg=kNil6&pf_rd_p=5c5ea0d7-2437-4d8a-88a7-ea6f32aeac11&pf_rd_r=EK74ADNXKYH35F8X0N57&qid=1552187252&s=gateway I'm not sure if I'm more interested in this as an art project or because it's practical and will help keep me organized, but at least I found another use for my camera and lenses.

BrunoCH Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 Another option. You can order roll custom labels. something like that : https://www.vistaprint.com/marketing-materials/labels-stickers/roll-labels?xnav=LabelsandStickers:FamilyPage_ProductTiles_0_RollLabels_Tile kaylee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebrothersthre3 Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 I would think any moderately honest person would return gear with a phone number on it? Seems like a good idea though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Members BTM_Pix Posted March 10, 2019 Super Members Share Posted March 10, 2019 Thank god its not just me who has the labelling fetish! I don't go down to SD card level but I do find them to be at their best for lens cap labelling for easy selection from my storage drawers. They even have a little code structure ! webrunner5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
