For prototype/repair/rework parts, we use cheap folders with business card or CD/DVD inserts at work - Cheap and effective!
The labels reflect the location of the item in the folder (Folder x Page y) and also the shelf in Storage (Rack-Bay-Shelf-Place), if it's a part we use also in production.

- timms 3y agoWhat tool generates your inventory labels?
- farkanoid 3y agoHi, Sorry about the delay, HN doesn't seem to notify me about comment replies. I wrote a simple PHP script that generates the labels. It just pulls a bunch of data from our parts database and positions the text/graphical elements on a PDF page using fpdf. The Datamatrix/barcode is generated using Zint. Once the PDF file is generated, the script passes it to /usr/bin/lp for instant printing to a Dymo LabelWriter, or sent with an attachment disposition for downloading and printing locally. Hope this helps, please let me know if I may be of further assistance
- sokoloff 3y agoThat's pretty brilliant. The imgur links were very important to understanding, so thanks for including them!
