Hello everyone,

I am considering printing out labels to upgrade my currently subpar inventory
labels and I was wondering how other sellers have gone about doing that? Is
there a template somewhere provided by Bricklink I am unaware of that would be
good to work off of?

I use a lot of Akro-Mils plastic organizers, I wonder if any other sellers use
those as well?

Thank you for any information you may provide!

Regards,
Captain Q

If you're using Avery labels you can download templates from their website.
I'm sure they would work with other labels as well.

I have a number of the Akro-Mils with the different drawer styles and they are
amazing. I've actually also purchased a Dymo LabelManager 280 and came up
with a grid number scheme for sorting and finding. Each tower was lettered (A,
B, C...) then each row was numbered, then letter for the drawer across. In my
inventory then, I've added the "location" in the remarks so that when I need
to find something, I tells me exactly where I need to go. For instance 3001
in blue location 6-D2. I spend a littl more time on the front end sorting, but
it's made it a lot easier and labeling the individual drawers was perfect.
I also then used the labeler to print out labels for all of my minifigs so the
bag is easier to find as well.
