content: Does anyone know of a cheap supplier of generic small serial number stickers?Normally, I'd get them custom made for bigger projects, or print them myself on a label printer for small projects, but this one falls in between.This one's not bad, but I don't need the anti-tamper feature and they are a bit expensive.http://www.ebay.com/itm/100-SERIAL-NUMBER-HOLOGRAM-LABELS-STICKERS-TAMPERPROOF-/300491520142

content: There are adhesive labels that can be printed on with any common printer. Make a sheet, print it out, and then cut into individual pieces.

content: That's where I have sourced labels for marking boards/micros with an ID (with tamper evident feature). I found 9 cents each to be reasonable for something I could just order. I believe they also offer custom or alternative materials and numbering. Just send them a message and ask if they can do what you need.

content: Quote from: mariush on April 11, 2013, 04:48:19 amThose handheld ones are slow and designed for one-offs, not large runs.A Dymo printer + a bulk lot of 4400 12mm x 50mm labels would set you back a total of $165http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Dymo-LabelWriter-450-Professional-Label-Printer-Maker-/190801738480http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/20-Rolls-of-Quality-Labels-for-DYMO-SEIKO-LabelWriter-DYMO-CODE-99017-50X12mm-/300770787880That's 2.8 cents per label.The Dymo software supports autoincrement numbers, although haven't tried it myself yet.

content: The amusing thing about serial number stickers is that they're not as unique as most people would think they are. I'm sure there's more than one company willing to print whatever you want on tamper-evident adhesive base......and tamper-evident isn't really foolproof,if you're Mike.

content: Quote from: EEVblog on April 11, 2013, 04:53:18 amThat's interesting. I already have a Brother QL-570, but don't think it supports auto incrementing. Thinking about it, there wouldn't be too much work in writing a program to do it.Thanks to everyone for the replies.

content: The laser sheets are available from speciality paper suppliers. you just need a laser printer with a straight paper path, otherwise it may peel and stick inside ( write off printer then).
