Author Topic: Cable labeller Marco Giustini Film God Posts: 2713 From: Reading, UK Registered: Nov 2007 posted 03-08-2014 07:48 AM                     Hi all, I'm thinking of expanding my tool box with a compact handheld labeller. As you may imagine I need to identify cables quite often and I'd like to do it in the most professionally looking way. What I like are the self laminating cable labels. But it looks like you need a big machine to produce one. I'm not sure I'd like to put a label flag on my cables, when I'm on site. Does anybody have any suggestions?  |  IP: Logged Scott Norwood Film God Posts: 8146 From: Boston, MA.

You don't want to see the price, however. That is why I am still using a regular label machine and clear heat shrink, which is only useful for labelling new cables (before the ends are attached) since heat shrink tubing will not fit over most connectors.  |  IP: Logged Marco Giustini Film God Posts: 2713 From: Reading, UK Registered: Nov 2007 posted 03-08-2014 08:35 AM                     ops, I shall continue on the other thread then, thanks for that!  |  IP: Logged
