10 Best Practices for Labeling Projects

Labeling is more professional looking than handwriting and helps you stay organized in the workplace, office and home, saving time & money!

1. Use the Labeler for Inspiration to Organize: Sometimes it's simply about getting the tool to get inspired. For inspiration to take hold, start with a small project. You'll find that labeling jumpstarts your organization projects.

2. Label the Label Printer: Put a label on the label printer so it doesn't disappear. This coveted tool might 'walk' away from your workspace!

3. Go Professional: Your job will look more professional with a consistent design and distinctive look (think branding)--font style, type size, tape color, graphics, logos, etc.

4. Preview Your Label Before Printing: This simple step can save you time & money. By simply selecting "Preview" on your label printer before you hit "Print", you can review your label, check spelling and see how it will appear on the tape width.

5. Save Designs that You Will Use Again: Save the label in the printer's memory if you've spent considerable time on design or if you know you'll use the design again. It's easy to recall the design, edit text and print additional labels.

6. Make an Extra Label or Use Recall Print History: You might discover during application that you have a need for an extra label for an additional surface, piece of equipment, cable or storage area. The handy "Recall Print History" feature on some printers allow you to find a previously printed label and reprint it.

7. Use Font & Text Sizes for Optimum Readability:Bad handwriting, age-related eyesight changes, lighting conditions--these variables and more affect readability. Avoid mistakes made from illegible handwriting or time wasted due to poor readability by using clear, bold fonts and adequate text sizes for optimum readability.

8. Use Color and/or Symbols for Better Visual Communication, Safety & Electrical Code Compliance: Colored labels communicate more effectively, such as using color-coded labels or heat-shrink tubes for electrical codes or ANSI codes. Think about contrast for visual communication and safety, such as an orange label on a black wire in a closet or a red label on a pipe that can be warm to the touch.

9. Save a Label: Save the need to make a replacement label by using the exclusive, patented PeelGuard® trimmer on K-Sun printers to round label corners on demand. Unlike labels with round corners, labels with square corners peel when the corner catches on something. The PeelGuard® feature makes labels more permanent & durable, saving you tape, time & money.

10. Recycle Your Label Cartridges: K-Sun LABELShop® cartridges are made from 50% recycled plastic and are recyclable! Simply contact us at WireMarkersPlus for a postage-paid recycling envelope that holds three cartridges. It's a simple way to go green & one more reason K-Sun is the preferred labeling solution for the plant, warehouse, lab, classroom, office, home, garage, shop and the planet!
