I need to re-label some Akro-Mils parts bins. The old labels have lost their
adhesion and fallen off. What options are there? Dymo embossing label makers are
out as are the Dymo thermal printers.

In a cheap fashion, I've found that the metal foil duct tape and a
sharpie make good permanent-ish labels for the storage totes that I've
been using to organize seldom-used tools, car parts, etc.

If you want something more professional-looking, P-Touch is pretty much
what all electricians are using these days to tag wires, label
equipment, etc. when there's no requirement for engraved Micarta labels.

For those bins, I use card stock (3 x 5 note cards work fine for the
small bins) cut to the appropriate size. I like the slip-in labels, so I
can re-label at will without the mess of stick-on or write-on labeling.

Those look great. The idea to use a P-Touch is not a bad one, either. I'd
forgotten that I have a P-Touch printer (the type that connects to a computer)
that I've never used. Thanks for the reminder!

I have to make labels for just about every job and I have several
expensive wiz bang label makers for making labels but the machine
I use the most is the little P-Touch I picked up out of a discount
bin at a big box store for $14.00. I just bought a replacement tape
cartridge at Office Depot and it cost $12.00. The labels are quite
versatile and I use them to label phone/data jacks, wires, patch panels
and equipment. Brother PT-70 is sold at Walmart. ^_^
