Label This: How Label Printers Can Help Get You Organized
June 25, 2006
My grandma has every shelf of her linen closet labeled with the location of sheets, wash cloths, hand towels, bath towels and beach towels. While I think that’s a tad obsessive, I must admit to a certain sense of the pot calling the kettle black.
In my house every techno gadget (and there are a lot of them, given as I review this stuff for a living) and every wire is neatly labeled. Of course, there are some very pragmatic reasons: first, sometimes it’s hard to tell at a glance whether you have a USB 1.1, USB 2.0, or FireWire cable. Second, a name and address label on your laptop, PDA, or adapter increases the odds of getting it back if you lose it. Third, a product label on a generic adapter reminds you which device it goes with; bigger, more legible labels clarify the controls on a printer at the office or your stereo at home.
For times when labels make sense, new label printers from are worth considering. These printers create all kinds of labels, allowing you to stick them where needed.
Personal mechanical labelers are a quick and easy way to get into labeling. The “turn and click” mechanism creates attractive embossed adhesive labels for items such as notebooks, toys, tools, CD cases, files, binders, folders, documents, and any other projects at home or work. The printed words and numbers are embossed on 3/8″ wide label tape. Best of all, it’s manual, so you won’t need to keep feeding it batteries.
Electronic labelers are another method that’s easy to use and will get you started labeling your stuff quickly. Their adhesive backed labels are perfect for the kitchen, home office and family room. It features high-quality thermal printing, vertical and horizontal printing and foreign language symbols. An eight-character LCD display helps you avoid mistyping.
Whether for personal or business use, a label printer will deliver a quick return on investment. Think of a label printer as a device that helps restore ease of use to your life.
