Cable Labels USA, has just completed research into the true comparative costs of preparing cable labels
The total number of cables to be labeled including the patch panel cables added up to 900 Cable Labels, with 49 labels per standard sheet as supplied via Cable Labels USA the cost of the labels would be just around $50.00 for the labels. Since there was no printer to buy as we would be using the Laser office printer and using the FREE software and templates it took our engineer only 30 minutes to input the info and print all 900 hundred labels. Total cost including labor just around $65.00 and the labels had been packaged up and taken to site.
We then purchased a hand held printer for $168.00 very nice hand held printer, we also purchased the labels tapes, with 18 feet on each tape we worked out we would get around 110 labels per tape cartridge, so 10 cartridges had to be purchased at a cost of $38.00 each $380.00, it then took our guy over 3 hours to input all the info at cost that was $85.00.
After the first cartridge jammed and the extra batteries requested or an extra $22.00 for an AC charger our tech had already made his mind up and returned the printer for a refund.
The total cost of the hand held printer was $655.00.
The bottom Line was Cable Labels Laser printer solution for 900 labels $65.00
Hand Held option for Cable Label printing for 900 labels $655.00
The Hand Held printer was around $600.00 more, so with a little planning in the office or on a site computer your company can make great cost savings in printing of your Cable labels.
