rdickinson Posted January 28, 2017 Report Share Posted January 28, 2017 Looking to get one for heatshrink and flat sticky labels... Some labels will be lengthwise and others around the circumference. Recommendations and where to purchase please?? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSeas Posted January 28, 2017 Report Share Posted January 28, 2017 P touch label maker does pretty good and makes all sorts of different labels in various sizes, colors, and orientations. A " sharpie" marker on light colored heat shrink tubing is a cost effective method of making a "shrinkable type label. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/s/ref=is_s_ss_i_1_7?k=p+touch+label+maker&sprefix=p+touch https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/search?rh=i%3Aaps&keywords=heat+shrink+wire+label+maker&page=1&ie=UTF8&ref=is_s_ss_c_aw_aps_0_28_aps&sprefix=heat+shrink+wire+label+maker&ajr=0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdickinson Posted January 28, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2017 Label King, you have a particular method, 2 decals and a list?? Could you elaborate please? One label on the item another somewhere else and the third pce escapes me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSeas Posted January 28, 2017 Report Share Posted January 28, 2017 I stick one label at the part that I have "touched" with the part # and date changed info. I repeat the info on a 2nd label I stick on the inside of my storage bin door above the drivers seat. I also add the same info and price paid into a spreadsheet I keep on my phone. It's a bit much but keeps me honest. I don't get to keep my truck at my home so the spreadsheet comes in very handy. I also like to mark my added electronic mods and their respective wiring modifications using yellow colored heat shrink tubing and sharpie written labels. I think you saw some of my labels last year at the WCR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdickinson Posted January 28, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2017 I saw something(s) but it is blurry. I need to bypass and rewire a failed circuit so things need to be labeled. Also label systems that have work done on them by me or others. So if there is an issue I know what doesn't need to be looked at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It prints on heatshrink and regular labels. Hi Everyone, I have this same label marker. I did not know that it can print on heat shrink tubing. How do you print on heat shrink tubing ? I am disappointed with the quality of print on standard labels. The label marker does not print a solid black print on a white back round. The first part of the label is some what faded. It looks like you need a sharpie to touch up the print.

jeffw Posted January 29, 2017 Report Share Posted January 29, 2017 The heat shrink tubing comes flat in a cassette. So it prints on one side of it. I'll see if I can find some photos. 2007 Volvo 780 Volvo D12D, 465hp, 1650 ft/lbs tq., ultrashift Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like 18444 is one of the part numbers for the printable shrink tubing. Do you have a part number for the yellow shrink tubing ?

MrSeas Posted January 29, 2017 Report Share Posted January 29, 2017 Al, Just go to the Amazon page referenced above and find all of the different kinds/colors of labels you can print. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffw Posted January 29, 2017 Report Share Posted January 29, 2017 18444 is just standard label tape. The tubing part numbers are: 18054: 3/8" 18056: 1/2" 18058: 3/4" I use the 1/2" for most work. 2007 Volvo 780 Volvo D12D, 465hp, 1650 ft/lbs tq., ultrashift Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
