Mr-Label Self-Laminating Wrap Around Cable Labels – Letter Sheet Laser Printer Only – for Wire Marking Identification (25 Sheets (800 Labels), 5 Assorted Color)

haven't tried printing on these yet. sharpie, precise sharpie, and ballpoint pen all work fine. very sticky tape and seems like it will be durable but i won't know until months/years from now. i'm using these on cables for music gear, some of which will see alot of abuse. just take your time when you're applying them to cables and they'll go on without wrinkling (or wrinkling too much).So far for the larger cables, no problem. But for very very small cable (think 1/4 headphones), already a tiny edge of the tape has come up. It's no undoing itself but i can see that this will catch on the cables. I think for permanent installations like network closet this is no problem at all; but if you're using this for music gear for live shows, it's something to watch out for.

Even though there are several reviews about the labels coming off during printing or delaminating I wanted to give them a try due to cost. Before printing I checked to see that they were well attached to the backing sheet and they seemed to be securely attached so I printed 8 labels as a test. The Open Office template you can download from their website worked perfectly.They came through my Lexmark laser printer with no issues. I then affixed them to each end of 4 new patch cords and waited for a few days. They are still attached solidly. I think there may have been some lots that had poor quality control with the adhesive, but mine appear to be good. They compare to the Panduit labels I have used previously at a fraction of the cost or the need to buy in a large volume.Note: some text in picture redacted. Its not a printing smudge.

Good: adhesion good they stick well, easy to print on once you get them aligned and setupBad: nothing real badUgly: Backing tends to curl badly which make them almost impossible to feed into laser printer and have them stay alignedSo from a cost perspective with competitors at a quarter of the price from Panduit, Brady buy what you think you will use quickly because of baking curl otherwise great inexpensive label

I've had an issue with these pretty much on every step.The TemplateI use LibreOffice. I downloaded the LibreOffice TEMPLATE. DID NOT WORK.I made it work by inserting a text box on each of the labels that I needed to print.Suggestion: Test several times, until perfect.PrintingHad I printed from the single/manual feed tray, something would have probably peeled off and stuck to the printer. Instead, I placed in the normal paper tray. SEVERAL TIMES IT STUCK TO THE PAPER BENEATH it, and they'd both cycle through the printer.Suggestion: Print as many labels as possible at once. Don't do 2 to see how they turn out, then another small batch, etc. After you've tested the template, make sure you've got everything you want to label, and print them all at once.Placing the LabelI found it easy to place the label.AdhesiveRoughly half of the labels have started to peel off.This is probably the most annoying problem and why I give them 1 star.I applied the labels and checked them daily for the first 3 days. 1 had begun to peel on day 1, the rest were good. I've just checked today (2 weeks later), and nearly half have started to peel off.Maybe a little bit of tape will fix it but completely defeats the purpose. I might as well just print on a regular sheet of paper, cut it, and tape it in the first place?

These print great on my laser printer, very easy to setup the template. They wrap perfectly around my assorted microphone and DMX cables (live theatre). However, this is not the first product of this type I have used, and all the previous ones eventually come off by themselves when the glue gives out. I am hoping these will last longer; they certainly have a lot of clear laminating area and so far look promising. But, portable cables are a hard environment so we'll see.........

I liked the entire concept, especially being able to print out legible labels for power cords, USB cables, Ethernet cables, etc. However, after a few days to a week, the edge of the laminating part started to peel up slightly. This was easily and quickly remedied by placing a small piece of cellophane tape over the label. However, if I have to place cellophane tape over my labels I could have just used regular labels to start with and put tape on them. Thus, these are less of a time saver than I had expected, but the color coding is nice. PRO TIP: Black printing on the red labels is pretty much unreadable without a flash light.

Used to print over 700 labels for a recent system upgrade. Used an Excel spreadsheet to generate the label text, then MailMerge to load into the Word template. The sheet text came out great but I was unable to print on an inkjet printer. Printed the label sheets to .pdf files then found a laser printer. Labels came out great the first time. Text placement was perfect. During installation, they were easy to remove from the sheets and wrap on the cables Had to wrap in a "flag" style for very small single wires, etc., but very easy to use with clear text and good over-wrap. Highly recommended.

I’ve been building control panels for over 30 years, and have always used Brady labels on a daisy wheel printer. The cost is too high to do that anymore so I took a shot with these. They work every bit as good as the Brady ones, they’re much cheaper and my old printer is in the local landfill!
