labelling screens correctly

[tpitman]

A lot of mine have cut vinyl numbers across the square bar, but to be honest, 3M blue painters tape and a sharpee seem to stay on as long as anything else.

A little late here. If you go the zip tie route, make sure there are no sharp places, like where you trim it,  that might harm your blanket

I don't really understand why others don't do it the way we do it but to each their own.  I put a strip of white tape on the frame, write the mesh count clearly on that white tape, then put clear packing tape over that to protect the number from the dip tank and all the other stuff the screen has to stand up to and it's really very simple.  No trying to come up with a color code or writing on the corner of a screen or anything, it's just simple and it works like a charm.  If you put a different mesh in a frame you take the clear packing tape off, put some ink degradent on a paper towel, and the marker comes right off and you then put the new mesh count on it.  We have probably 15 different mesh counts here so this way makes the most sense.

Same here. Works perfect. We use yellow masking tape, write the mesh count on it and cover that with 2 inch clear tape. no problem at all.

we used different color duct tape on the screens. after taping our newmans we would then put a small strip of lets say black tape on each short end. then on the wall in our screen room there was a strip and written next to it was 150. so basically just color coding all of your screens. theres tons of different color duct tape out there.
super simple and idiot proof.

Old school dymo labeler.  Color coded with mesh info.  Best thing ever for this. The labels hold very well but are still easy to remove.
