Cable Label Printers

Cable label printers and wire marker printers make labeling cables and wires fast and easy. There are many products on the market by several different companies such as K-Sun, Dymo and Brother. Do research to figure out which machine is right for you and which fits your budget. Here is a sampling of products to give you an idea of what's on the market to help you label your wires.

• K-Sun Labelshop is a line of portable and PC compatible industrial heat shrink tube and general custom labeling systems. K-Sun Labelshop printers will allow you to label wires, cords, cables, hoses, tubes, conduit, mechanical equipment, panels, appliances and hardware. Create your own custom adhesive-backed labels on the job. These cost between $250 and $500, depending on how many features you want your printer to have.
• If you are looking to spend a little less money, there are Brother label printers you can buy for around $100 that will do the job. For example, the Brother PT 1600 Label Maker is a portable machine capable of labeling your wires, cables, face plates, racks and outlets. It offers rotated text, memory functions and built-in library of symbols and the ability to print laminated labels with standard adhesive, extra strength, or flexible ID adhesive used for wrapping and flagging. This machine's labels can survive tough and harsh environments and can print multiple copies, serialized labels, vertical, horizontal, rotated and "mirror" text.
• Or check out Dymo's line of label printers. You can also buy some of these for around $100. For example, Dymo's RhinoPRO 5000 Portable Label Printer is a one-touch system that has save and recall buttons which allow you to create and store your labels. And the use of thermal transfer print technology on this machine means you can produce labels that are durable, smear proof and resists chemicals, solvents, grease, heat and moisture.
