In the office, a label maker can be used to remind your co-workers where the communal stapler belongs or point out where they can find extra paper clips. You can label important folders, the drawers of a file cabinet, or different slots of the office mailbox. Labels also come in handy in the office kitchen, especially when on the hunt for a sugar packet. And if your personal stapler keeps disappearing (video) from your desk, you can slap a label with your name on that, too.
At home, you can use labels to keep track of the power cords crowding your surge protector, or remind yourself what every one of the myriad USB cables in your junk drawer does. Parents can stick labels (with either words or symbols) around their homes to remind kids where their toys belong or where to find snacks. Hobbyists and crafters with bins of supplies can also benefit from using a label maker at home to organize their materials and keep their craft corner neat and tidy.
There are three types of label makers. The traditional variety have built-in screens and keyboards, while newer, Bluetooth-only label makers are controlled entirely on your phone or tablet through iOS or Android apps. A third hybrid type offers a built-in screen and keyboard along with Bluetooth connectivity, though these tend to cost more than traditional label makers.
After evaluating over 30 different label makers of all types, we narrowed down the list to 12 contenders (evenly distributed between Bluetooth-only and all-in-one or hybrid models) using the following criteria:
In my tests, the first thing I considered was ease of setup out of the box. I loaded and unloaded the batteries and tape cartridges into each label maker, looking for any potential quirks that could complicate the process.
Then I got to work on making labels. With the all-in-one label makers, we typed out both short and long strings of characters to see how each keyboard felt, paying close attention to the layout of the keys and how many useful function keys the printers had. We did the same for Bluetooth models using my iPhone 12 and the provided app. I printed labels of different lengths with different font styles and sizes, symbols, and borders, assessing the clarity of each label.
To test for durability when put up against water, heat, and detergent, I ran the labeled Mason jars through a dishwasher cycle, then sent the survivors through again to separate the best from the rest.
Most Bluetooth-enabled Brother label makers, including the Cube Plus, are compatible with two different mobile apps: the aforementioned Design&Print 2, and iPrint&Label (iOS and Android). Though both create and print labels, Design&Print 2 has a stronger focus on creativity, with a catalog of over 130 fonts, plus more than 450 symbols and emojis and more than 60 frames and patterns. iPrint&Label offers a more stripped-down design space, with just the basics for more-practical labels. And if you want to ditch your phone or tablet entirely, the P-touch Editor software for Mac and PC lets you design and print labels from your computer instead. All three apps are easy to use.
The Cube Plus can print on tape up to 24 mm wide, and the Design&Print 2 app automatically detects the width of the tape you load and either adjusts the label to fit the parameters or warns you that your label might not look like the preview unless you make adjustments.
The handheld Dymo LabelManager 160 has a nicer screen and a more comfortable keyboard than the PT-H110, but fewer options for customization. It also prints labels of inconsistent quality: In our testing, some were clear and sharp, while others were faint and streaky.
Most home and office printers can print on label sheets, but these are typically regular paper labels, rather than the laminate variety produced by a label maker. Paper labels are less durable, especially when it comes to water and abrasion. Check the list of compatible paper types for your printer model.
Hello. I created profile labels (station & elevation), but I can't seem to figure out how to remove the circular markers. I want to display them in dragged state with leaders and remove the circular markers where the leaders are pointing to.
Hi all - I'm looking to create a point (will be svg) on a map with a label on it. I attached a photo of the intended result. However, I'm using a graphics layer to render the current symbol. If graphics layers do not support label making, how would you go about creating a marker point and label on the same layer?
As of February 21st, 2024 (v3.56), google.maps.Marker is deprecated. We encourage you to transition to the new google.maps.marker.AdvancedMarkerElement class.

I notice that in FCP X I can create markers, I sincerely do not see any way to name or Label the markers. Does anyone know how to do that? Please give me a hand. It is ver use less to have makers and not be able to label them.
halken, thanks very much for your expedient repply. You are right on that, howver I would like to see the label when I am editing. Right now I can only see the labe if I dio as you instructed, but what about when you are just generally editing and need to see a description of what that marker is while in the general view of your time line. Is that possible
Yes, you can do that -- sort of. Open the Timeline Index (shift-command-2), click on the 'Tags' at the top, and click on the little marker icon at the bottom. You will now see just a list of your markers with the time they are at. you can also single click on them to jump the playhead to that marker.
Hafken, thanks a whole lot you just made my day. I do not know how come you are so knowledgeable about FCP X, but thanks so ver much for your help. I would like to ask you opinion on something. Last night I discovered the "Archive" feature in FCP X while capture from a DV Cam(Blast From The Past). It is ver neat and accessible via the FCP X interface ONLY, but not from a normal file access point of view. I have dozens of tapes that I need to archive because I smply do not trust that they tapes will last very much longer. so the question is,
Is it best to just to do a normal capture eith FCP X, rather than utilize the very neat archive feature simply because you cannot access the data in the Archive outside of FCP X( it is proprietary) and if apple changes that feature 3 years from now, then what will I do? Please give me you honest opinion.
The camera archive format is actually a type of disk image (i believe). If you right click on it, you can get the option to view its contents. Inside you will see all your clips, and an extra file that is a sort of "manifest" telling FCPX about the clips.
You are quite safe using this feature, as you don't need FCPX to access the files. At any time you can always copy the files out from the archive to somewhere else, and those copied files can even be imported to FCPX using the "import files" feature.
You are wise to make sure you have a backed up copy of your content, either via the archive feature, or just having the Event itself be your backed up copy. FCPX will not modify original media files, so just a normal import should be an adequate backup; so if you import from the archive, you would actually have 2 backups (assuming they are on different drives), which is actually the number that is recommended.
Not knowing what is actually on the roadmap in detail here is a use-case which I would find useful:
For more complex audio I like to get all audio cutting and mixing done in Audacity, ending up with a final audio track with several labeled markers indicating where I would like to have my video transitions.
It would be great if there was a way to import a simple text file into SC (Audacity has start time, end time and label text, on one line per marker) that appeared in a separate track in the timeline, like the label track in Audacity. Ideally it would allow to jump back and forth between the markers for easier navigation.
The track itself would be ignored by any video/audio processing, except cut/trim where the usual ripple (or not) rules would have to apply.
Also, can the ability to add notes to each individual marker be included? Notes which can be viewed by hovering the mouse over it and also opening a small window of some kind for more info and options?
I was thinking a quick and easy way to mark clips on timeline would be to be able to change the color of a particular clip OR the clip label (I mean the filename that appears on top) background color to a set of maybe 5 predefined colors?
The filename can already be changed right now by pressing F2 on a selected clip. So if a tag or flag feature were to be added it would make sense for it to be in addition to the filename not to replace the filename.
Also in Resolve, it has this feature that when you manually move the playhead with the arrow keys or the mouse right on top of a marker, the description of that marker will appear in a box on the upper left hand corner of the player like this:
Shotcut roadmap has markers mentioned already on number 4, but I am not sure if it would have color choice, So you should wait for it.
I do not know about that box that appears, maybe it would come with markers or maybe not.
Audacity has the capacity to import labels from a csv, and then export individual mp3s based on the label. I use this very frequently, for example to get mp3s of individual songs from a two-hour practice session that is recorded as a single file. I would like to be able to do something similar in Shotcut.
