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

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.

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.

Great product. just for laughs I tried with a ink jet printer. it was kind of funny because all the ink just pooled. Sharpie, a pen or laser printer, they did what they are supposed to. My only suggestion would be to charge a bit more but include a zip lock pack age to keep them in.

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 had high hopes, but greatly disappointed. They keep unrolling off of the wires. I used them primarily for mic wires in a rack, as well as stage floor boxes. Every single one is unrolling off of the wire. 3 sheets of labels and I now have to replace them. Pretty pointless if they can't stay stuck to the wire they are rolled around.

We finished re wiring out network and server racks and labeled hundreds of cables with these and I can say without reservation that these worked perfectly. It took a while to get the page and margins set right. But once you get that set its very easy to use .The printer we used was an old HP laserjet 1300 that we hand laying around. A LASER PRINTER IS CRITICAL! I made and excel spreadsheet to save time and keep track of the cable numbers. I can see why some people have issue with the labels coming off, if you put them on a cable that is constantly bending or twisting, they won't last. This is not a problem on a network rack.UPDATE: Done a few projects with them now and they are the only label I'll use. Keep a fine tip sharpe and a blank sheet around for replacement cable and "one-offs" (make sure to let the ink dry). Adhesion over time is not an issue. If your working any job with more then a dozen cables and you don't use these, youre doing it wrong. Hands down these are the best value for money and time around.I would not recommend these for DJs or any situation where the cables are being move and wound up and bent constantly. You need a hard plastic or vinyl label for that.

Not sure yet how well these hold up (just out them on), but I will say be careful of what colors you buy if you’re intending to put them on a black cable. It turns out the yellow and orange are really translucent so the black underneath almost overrides the color (it’s super dark yellow and super dark orange) and the big problem with that is then you can barely see the black ink on them. Red is slightly hard to read but better. Basically the white and the blue worked well, red was fine, orange and yellow are no good. On white cables it would be no issue, but on black cables don’t use the red, orange or yellow labels.

These are pricey labels so you don’t want to purchase if they don’t meet your needs. I’ve wanted to better mark customer cat6a cables for awhile, but that first sentence bounced around in my head every time I shopped for self laminating labels. I have a fairly inexpensive laser printer so it doesn’t feed paper as effectively as I’d like so I was a little concerned purchasing these, but they worked out really well for me. I couldn’t be happier. Perfect size, heavy duty labels
