black labels

[Graeme]

Mark

my label kit is below

cheap carry case which was £5 when a local discount store opened

packs of Wilko labels - which were 1p each when they were getting rid of them last year - I have a massive box of them - I must throw some of the pencils away..............

black - red - blue pens are decocolor - these are fantastic paint pens - but don't press on - its a glide across the surface



the hozelock spares were 20p as I always end up after winter with some of the little rubber rings on hose fittings perishing

we have a TEC thermal lable printer as well but I quite like writing lables.........

What do you use to write on white labels?

Try edding 8404 Aerospace Marker Pen.

Soft pencils are cheaper and last longer than the labels for me.

I use a 6B pencil on most tags. I keep some very fine wet and dry sandpaper for cleaning labels and taking the gloss off them if they are shiny. The pencil even stands out on black labels and will out last paint. Why do you want me to write your labels Mark???

  Oddly enough, Mark's handwriting on an envelope is much neater than his labels! I assumed Mark wanted Jamus' neat writing on his labels - I know that thought crossed my mind when I think of how awful our labels are, whether it's the BD or myself who does them!
