Labeling Wires and Cables

<< < (5/5)

Lampy:
At work I use a KROY labeler (K3100-PC if you care to Google it). It uses cassettes of shrink tube and prints labels on the shrink tube. A bit spendy for once in a while use or in the home work shop. If you can find white shrink tube and a fine tipped marker I would think that would be a great way to label wiring. I don't shrink the labels as they will no doubt end up facing the wrong way.

ddmckee54:
Make friends with an electrical contractor, especially one that has a Brady label maker or the equivalent.  If you make a list of the wire labels you need, and how many of each you need, you could probably bribe them into printing your labels with some donuts.

In a lot of cases if you tell them what your doing and show them some pictures of your project you might even get them for nothing, or you might wind up swapping a little machine work that they need done for your labels.
