I got the Dymo Letra Tag Plus from walmart. Its a small hand held unit that's easy to use. They also offer plastic labels which are more resistant to water and chemicals than the paper ones. I like it.

DYMO LetraTag Plus Personal Label Maker, 2 Lines - Walmart.com

Check out the office supply stores. I got a cheap label maker at Staples, something like 30 bucks on sale a couple years ago. Takes up to an inch tape, but the tapes are like 10 bucks. It works for me.

You could probably use address labels and make them on your computer too. But you'd want to put a clear tape over them for protection.

Good luck!

Purchase some inkjet labels at a local office supply store and use your word processor.

This must be done on an inkjet though because with a laser printer and labels you can only run the sheet through the printer one time. With inkjet you can target specific labels on the page and not waste anything.

Another tidbit is that templates exist with the word processor as well as on the label manufacturer's web site.

p touch is great. You type in what you want and it prints out the label right in front of you

You can put the laser labels through a laser printer and pin point which label is used. The idea is to use laser labels.

I myself have the p touch, it's a great label maker and the tape comes in many different colors and sizes, it's a 5 star label maker for sure. Shine on.

Now that my memory has been jogged, I have the P-Touch.

It suits my purpose. I use the AC adapter, but it can be battery powered. I label the tabs on the file cabinet folders for owner manuals, put labels on magnetic strips to label the drawers on my tool chests, and of course, spray bottles.

You can get different colors for letters and tape backgrounds too.

Check Craigslist.

I got a P-touch, ten refills in a Pelican case for $12.00

Those labels are great.

Now at Costco, P-Touch PT-1880c. Includes labeler, 1 roll of 12mm labels, 1 roll of 18mm labels, and 6 AA Duracell batteries.

The important hong is that is used laminated labels, so they won't get all messed up when they get wet. I saw nothing at Staples in this price range that uses laminated labels.

Cost for all was $27.99.
