LTO barcode labels?

[howartp]

We've used Net2Labels.co.uk for a few years and have several sequences with them, which I just email and order the next batch.

 

The UK/Europe offices seem to have disappeared - website and phones down.

 

Who does anyone else use?

You could make your own...

https://tapelabel.de/

 

Although that does then raise the question of where to purchase reasonably priced blank labels. I have made some before by printing to postage labels but it took ages to cut them out and apply them probably (and some of them still can't be read by tape library as the labels printed over a perforation and I didn't do a good job of sticking the two pieces on properly in all cases).

 

Anyway, if you don't mind me hijacking the thread, can I add the question where do you purchase blank labels from too?

[howartp]

No problem David.

 

I've looked into printing my own before and not got anywhere, partly due to sourcing blanks and partly due to previously not having barcode fonts working.

 

Office 2013 now does barcodes so I'm happy to play with that, if I can find some labels!

We use https://tapelabel.de/ and print on to quality sticky paper and then use a guillotine to cut them out. None have fell off so far and we've saved hundreds of pounds on buying premade lables!

[howartp]

Never thought about sticky paper...

 

What do you use?

[Fazza]

Avery Heavy Duty White Labels (they're Durable, weatherproof and for indoor and outdoor use)!

 

L4775 is the part number

[howartp]

Nice.

 

I like the output from tapelabel.de as well - better than some others I've come across.

 

Right, i'll get some ordered!

I just did this last week! I use tapelabel.de but unfortunately don't have any labels that fit their templates, so it's either "print onto blank whole A4 label sheet and cut out", or what I did was paste them into the 7x2 (14 a page) avery template in Word and print that way, then cut them out. Bit of a pain but didn't take too long to do 24 tapes (and cost nothing).

 

Annoyingly I discovered the paperwork that came with the tape library whilst tidying later on and it had a pack of 60 labels with it... so depends who makes your tape library as to whether they will do them too.

 

Other option is to create them yourself as it's just a Code 39 barcode.
