When most people are looking to mark pipes in their facility, their first thought is to find a company that sells them and place an order. That’s a good option , but what if you don’t need a large quantity of pipe markers at one time?
Or, what if you need a large number of customized pipe markers?
Have you ever considered buying a label maker to print your own pipe markers? A label maker is a quick easy way to create customized pipe markers whenever you need them. You can customize your pipe markers to not only feature ANSI-recommended elements (like color, direction of flow and contents), but also include information you feel is important to those working on or around your piping system, such as pipe temperature, PSI, etc.
Some label maker features to consider:
- Multi-Color Printing: It’s important to be able to print in multiple colors, so it’s critical the printer you choose has that capability.
- Label Preview: Being able to see your finished label before you print it will save time and allow you to catch mistakes before printing.
- Multi-Label Printing: Some printers allow you to print multiple labels on one page for greater efficiency.
- Image/Template Import: The ability to import logos and graphics directly to your label maker is useful if you want to include personalized elements other than text on your pipe markers. Certain printers also have a library of graphics you can search for generic graphics.
- No-Smear Printing: Ensure your printer has either fast drying ink or a smear proof printing system to ensure your pipe markers are clear, crisp and last a while.
So next time you go to order a pipe marker, think about what may be best for you…placing an order or buying your own label maker and printing your own.
