Serial number labels

[Paul Burke]

Anyone know of a source of little serial number labels, say 15mmx5mm, in
A4 sheets for laser printer? I can only find tractor-feed dot matrix
lables from the usual UK suspects.

RS sell them down to 25.4x10mm, will they do? They are silver and come
on A4 sheets. If you find any smaller let me know, I am looking for
some too.

Check out http://www.bradyid.com. Probably letter-size, but your
printer shouldn't mind.

Specifically, see the PDF:

Try Panduit <http://www.panduit.com/products/browse2.asp?classlevel=361>.

My former employer used to cut the perforated edges off tractor-feed labels
and run them through a laser printer. I don't recommend this, since there's
a risk of destroying the printer, but they got away with it.

Thanks, perfect- except that Brady Europe won't even tell me who sells
them here or how much they cost, until I fill in a form giving my dog's
dental records and my maternal great-grandmother's preferred sexual
position.

I just use normal laser labels and print multiple "mini labels" on

each one by setting up a table with no borders. Cut/score them with a
hobby/stanley knife.

Depending on your original label size and the "mini label" size you
can get hundreds on an A4 page.

Inquisitive, eh?

Commonly sold through large electrical supply houses (Anixter, Graybar,
etc.); not sold direct. Not likely that you'll get even a "retail"
price out of Brady, IME.

From buying some of their self-laminating laser poly labels (slightly
more exotic), their cost is fairly high - I'd guess these are probably
USD$30-60 for a 100-sheet box. At your dimensions, that's probably
15,000 labels, but it's probably also better suited to the task than
something from the office supply store. (Durable, with long-lasting
adhesive.)

Cheers,
Richard

OK that would be someone like Newey and Ayre in the UK, I'll try them.

Is that because of US national security paranoia ?

In the days when I still did pcb lay-ups, I got Brady stuff here.

Wow. Frank wrote custom software to do something
that any good word processor can do.

For his next trick he will whitle a toothpick out
of a two by four.

That's pretty small. A while ago I had custom labels made by Cils (UK),
http://www.cils-labels.com/laserinkjet.html and they did a great job.

You can ask them to send some samples. They have all kinds of labels,
different material, special adhesive types etcetera.

With 15mm x 5mm you need good software as well, and load your printer
very carefully - or else the alignment will be terrible. I had larger
labels, with pre-printed boxes, and even when the registration is off
by 0.5mm it already looks a bit shabby. I ended up writing my own
software, where I could 'tune' the printed fields in steps of 0.1mm.
