Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I used to have jobs doing cable installation for computer equipment (and I still have a job where labeling is relevant), and man, I can really tell you -- automated cable label-makers are both expensive and unreliable.
This pad of write-on labels saves me from insanity! It's so simple: just write, peel, apply! A plain pen or sharpie will work, or use a hand held label-maker (see details below). I can't believe this little gem was hiding under "microphone accessories" all this time without discovering it; this neat product should probably get re-listed in other Amazon categories for video and computer equipment!
This pad is made of 10 sheets of 6 labels (arranged as 3 labels horizontal, 2 labels vertical on each sheet). Removal requires a bit of fingernail activity, but it's still very convenient. My only (minor) wish is that Hosa would make the sheet perforated so empty pages (ones where all 6 labels have been used) can be torn out easily as you go through the stack -- but it's not a big deal.
The writable white area is about 1 and 1/16th inch wide by 11/16th inches tall, or pretty close to 1.0 x 0.75 inches. The label (including writable area) is a total of about 2 and 5/8th inches tall, enough to wrap around the cable (and writable area) 2 or so times. (The approximate metric measurements are 2.7cm wide, 1.75cm tall writable, and a total of 6.7cm tall.)
For those who have a lot to say on their labels (or just want it to be professional-looking), I have found that portable label makers can make labels that easily apply on top of writable area (as long as they can write multiple lines). I use Brother P-Touch 3/4-inch TZ-tape labels and a compatible label-maker, and found these font sizes to be useful:
16pt: fits 2 lines and about 6 characters wide onto the writable area, very easy to read
12pt: fits 3 lines and about 10 characters wide
9pt: fits 4 lines and about 14 characters wide
6pt: fits 5 lines and about 18 characters wide, but an eye-chart to read
