how do you label Usb sticks - TopFreeware - 09-17-2014

Any techs or members here found a good way to label their various USB sticks?

I know its not a great way and it can wear off, but I have used a felt tip, but its a good point if you have a good few with different things on and you can just look at the label and see what it says, think you can buy machines that do it but that goes beyond the D.I.Y and costs a bit.

To be honest all my sticks look different apart from two (which are always being used as testers anyway).

the rest are different sizes, colours, even shapes and as such i know which ones house my OS's, which have malware tools, and so on so I've never needed to actually 'label' them.

I use a Dymo Label Manager Plug n Play printer.
It uses 9mm and 12mm wide adhesive tape cartridges.
The tape is plasticised so doesn't disintegrate when removed from a USB stick.
The units aren't cheap, round about £40 on Ebay.
The results are very professional.

Good Luck!
