Like for switch panels, breaker panels etc.
Gonna need a bunch for my Convincor project and want them to look professional.
Snooped a bit and found some for under $100 that look decent but would like to hear from anyone who has done it.
These even showed color and font options.
No more marking up masking tape.
Thx guys.
you can buy label makers, but they look kindof trashy. if you get on jegs i know moroso/ longacre and switch panel manufacturers sell sticker packs for switches extremely cheap. they come with the parts usually and im sure they sell replacements
...have always designed the panels completely from the start & had either the panels labeled or the switches themselves labeled & lit or backlit by a panel maker. don't know where you are in the panel process, but you can just buy prelabeled switches. keep it simple. homemade labels look like homemade labels.
I know of the sticker/label kits but not what I want.
Normally I make my own panels and w/this project, they may be redone a couple times so cheap is good but ugly ain’t good.
You can get lamicoid nameplates made at about any trophy shop in any size /color you want and attach with 2 sided adhesive tape or tiny self tapping screws .
What size font/decal are you looking for?
And vinyl or hard plastic?
Saw some on eBay when I was looking will see if I can find them again depending on what your looking for..

Vinyl
I just ordered deck fill ports for the VRO tanks on the Convincor and could only find what I wanted, were already marked gas.
So that will be the first two.
For on the deck by the fill caps.
Thx Mike!

Seaton can make just about any type of label you desire. Have you thought about Black-Engraved to White or any other color combo?
The rocker switch picture reminded me of this funny boating video . This guys switch was not properly marked so it could have been an accident I suppose ?

I use a cricut and make vinyl labels for all sorts of stuff. Not super cheap but great quality and will work for etching if thats your thing. Etched and painted looks the most pro
My wife makes all kinds stuff like that. Labels, stickers, decals,etc. Can u post a pic of what ur lookin for
She can do easy stuff anyway. Maybe not the difficult ones ,
Machine limitations
Have you decided on size,font have links to couple on eBay that do all sizes etc.. was looking for good thick ones that will last like I had gotten awhile ago but don't see them yet.. or will the 7 year vinyl work?
See a bunch of different options
Oh see offers to make em too
