Name That Label Maker

8CW · #1 12-22-2007, 05:46 PM

Does anyone know what labelmaker may have produced the these heatshrink labels, and also what the heatshrink may be called. These are about the best looking labels I have seen. It is the fourth picture down. I have tried to find contact information for "Jim" on his website, but can't find any. Thanks!

I dont know where to get that done, but you can get clear heat shrink, and make paper labels on the comp, just put the paper on the wire, and cover with the clear shrink tube.

Check the Kroy website. They make a variety of printers that print on heat shrink. Not real cheap but works great.

I did not look at the picture, but I used a K-Sun LabelShop2001xlst to do all my wire labels.

I used a Brady labeler but the cartridge of shrink tube was expensive. Later I found the good old permanent markers we use when laying out the aluminum when written on a piece of regular heat shrink tubing will shrink down and is very durable. I use white heat shrink that I bought from Digikey, or Radio Shack or Fry's electronics. Write the wire name, slip it over the wire, and shrink it.
Hope this helps,
Paul

NOT SURE BUT LOOKS LIKE IT WAS DONE WITH A DYMO RHINOPRO WITH THE YELLOW SRINKWRAP

I'm pretty sure they're heat shrink labels from Dymo RhinoPro 5000. That's what I use and mine look identical.

Guy,

Oh Yea! That sounds like the tool I could REALLY use at this point. Where is a good place to get a Dymo RhinoPro 5000 and the suitable heat shrink required? Also for wires already run and hooked up, is there a suitable method to wrap labels around the wire?

I agree. These appear to be printed on a Rhino Pro. I bought mine on Amazon.com.
The heat shrink works very well and comes in a few different sizes. A bit costly but well worth the money as the end result looks extremely professional.
Thanks

There is a suitable method to wrap labels around the wire. The RhinoPro comes comes with (and has available) very flexible vinyl labels just for wiring. I use the heatshrink tube at the ground and fuse block ends (the heatshrink is expensive) and then use yellow lables wrapped around the wire about every 5 feet along its length. I started with white labels, but they're too hard to see on the white wire. The labeler has settings for wire all the way from 22AWG to TV Coax. You just tell it the wire size and it spits out the labels.

I got mine for Christmas last year, the Mrs. says it came from http://www.cableorganizer.com. Don't bother with an AC adapter, mine has been running on the same set of batteries for 363 days now.

Cheers,
Guy
