martinkings Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 Am looking for some printed cable sleeves for my cables so that I can identify them when on loan - can someone point me in the right direction for where I need to go to get these, have seen them on other rental equipment when I've hired Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Lewis Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 Some of the cable supplies firms will sell you the heatshrink types (Canford, VDC etc.,) or you can buy a Rhino label printer that will take heatshrink. However, it's cheaper to use a standard label printer and put some clear heatshrink over the top of the label... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks great until you heat shrink and the lables go black! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete McCrea Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 We use www.Pixart.it for printing our in-house designed labels, their small 2"x1" ish labels set us back a £100 or so for about 1000. We then trap these under clear heatshrink. We tend to order made up cables from VDC, and specify that they put a piece of heatshrink on the cable. We have a Dymo Rhino that could use heatshrink, however, we've not gone this route, simply because we've used the above method for the last 4 years....

TomHoward Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 Be wary of heat transfer printers tho! Looks great until you heat shrink and the lables go black!We use a Rhino Pro printer and clear heat shrink and haven't encountered any problems with the labels blacking over - we did have problems with this on a Brother paper label printer we tried though. One other thing I'd say is that the heat shrink you get that is directly printable isn't available in very large diameters, and in my experience doesn't wear as well as a vinyl label under clear heat shrink either - the printing wears off fairly quickly. Also worth mentioning that you can get heat shrink over a Neutrik XLR if you take the metal chassis off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andyb Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 Printasleevewww.printasleeve.co.uk/ You may be put off with minimum order quantities though... Hire companies get through a lot. You can always print your own label and put clear heatshrink over the top. andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
