Material for labeling controllers?
Posted on: 29.04.2011 by Lula Falconburg
Just wondering if you guys have any suggestions for what to use to label custom controls. Something semi-permanent that doesn't leave residue, and can be written on?

I have heard of people going to print shops to have some made up and I don't mind doing this as long as it's not that expensive but what would I need to provide them with? If anyone has any ideas that would be great thanks.
Someone on DJTT printed out a sheet of overhead projector paper and velcro-d it a launchpad. I'm sure the same is possible with an APC.

edit - here ya go

Thanks for the ideas I never knew about self adhesive printer paper I am about to order some I found this company and I believe this stuff should do the trick I just need to goto work and check the make and model of the laser printer to check to see if it can print this paper.

Essentially I would just make a photoshop of what I wanted the decals to be and cut them to size then they should stick?

They also have a glow in the dark one which I thought would be cool as I use my gear mainly at evening in low lighting. Has anyone ever tried any kind of glow in the dark adhesives?

You can buy self adhesive transparency sheets. Print to the sheets, cut 'em to size, and stick 'em on your controller.

Once you've done that, cut some of the self adhesive transparency a little larger than your original label, and sick it over the top of that original label so that the text won't wear away.

Lasts forever, and looks excellent.

I was going to ask what model I should get when I literally bumped into one I had at home. :P

Thinking about getting the brother labeller myself after using 1 at work.

My mate has a dymo but that leaves nasty residue when you peel the labels off.

+1 for above. Except mines a Casio labeler. My oxygen 49 is covered in the stuff, but still looks nice and neat. Way better than hand written!

I use a "brother" labeler. You can pick what color tape you want and print in various different font sizes. Sometimes just have to cut the tape down to fit specific places.
