Just curious what you guys use for labeling the monitor wall on older trucks where there is no electronic UMD set-up? I was thinking index cards or something, probably better than white tape.. thanks for the help

Double stick scotch tape works, bend over one of the edges so that it is easy to remove from the back of the laminated labels when you are done.

I use that gummy reusable stuff for my switcher labels. It would work well on the wall too with laminated labels. The only time it leaves any residue behind is if there is tape goop still there.

Seth, I use Ziplock heavy duty freezer bags and carry that bag in my bag. I have been told by a particular director that I should do what you do. I just may some day. Hope all is well with you and your family. Velcro isn't used that much in the US. One truck company did it and they had labels for the TD to use, but with time the Velcro gets beat up and doesn't hold that well.

[quote="Seth Madway"][quote="Mike Cumbo"]I use the method that hosko mentioned. Take your favorite word processing program and do some typing. Then take the printouts to Kinkos or another store like them and do the laminating. You will lose some, you will forget one or two but they should last a nice long time. Mine are somewhere about six or so years old and need to refresh a few.[/quote] While you are at Kinkos, ask them to spiral bind 5 - 10 vinyl report cover pages. This will give you a nice "book" that you can tape your labels in.[/quote] Velcro on the back works a treat. A lot of the OB trucks in Australia use this as it makes it very easy to relabel.

laminated paper works well of just cardboard.
