Making front panel labels


 

I was looking for a way to easily label the front panel of my BitX40 and was pointed to the use of an Avery product. It is a transparent plastic with an adhesive backing and you can print using either an inkjet or a laser printer. You then just cut the strips where you designed the label, peel the backing, and place on the panel. Really easy, and the results are pretty good. One sheet can produce a ton of labels, too. The product is Avery 4397.

Vic, I use one big decal for the entire panel. That way you don't see the edges of the individual labels. There is a full description of the process I use in the documentation for my Magnetic Loop antenna controller.

Looks good Vic!

have a look at the method I use. You don¡¯t have to be as careful with the LCD cutting :)

I printed mine out on with an inkjet printer on regular photo paper and then put some clear tape over it to preserve it.

I use pretty much the same method Dave.? To adhere it to the case I use a sheet of 3M adhesive.? Basically it's a large sheet of double sided tape (which I'm sure would work as well).

I used locktite spray adhesive.? I tried ShoeGoo the first time and the solvent in it melted the enamel on the case and the ink on the photopaper.? It was a real mess!

I spelled LocTite wrong.??
