10 Ways Mommy Uses Her Dymo Labeler
by Lynette
I’ve had the older model of the Dymo LetraTag for ages. If not mistaken, since before my first child was born. It still looks and work like new today. Absolutely fabulous. Back then, I bought it primarily for my business.
But once my kids came along, this little baby has become more and more important for my everyday organization (and sanity). Let’s see what I’ve used the Letratag for.
- Labeling seeds while they germinate. Despite the moisture this thing stuck fast.
- Labeling kids’ pencil cases, and other stuff, even backpacks
- Of course, to label my home and business folders (see picture)
- Stick important phone numbers where others can see it like in the kitchen. Because this thing sticks pretty well, it does not get dropped or rubbed off.
- Talking about phone numbers, it’s also a really neat way to print a few phone number and name labels out. Great for when you don’t have a paper around and need to give someone your phone number. Pull out the sticker and tell them to stick on their notebook.
- Label our cell phones. Hubs and I have identical phones and can’t always tell them apart.
- Leave instructions: for myself or someone else. I like to print double sided to save paper but cannot always remember which way I should flip the paper and what order they should be. So, I printed labels with instructions and stuck them to the printer
- Label cables and power cords. Do you have a tangle of power cords and USB cables? A nightmare. Especially when you unplug one and discover that was the computer… oops!
- Label remote controls. Ah yes. I know when someone sneaks off with mine.
- Label home made CD’s and DVD’s
What I like about my LetraTag, it’s smaller than most. Mine is the longish design not the wide ones and it can go anywhere if I want to bring it along. I also found the labels to stick very well. I’ve always used white paper labels. Tried the other ones but didn’t like them unless you plan to use it in place where there’s a lot of water or moisture, the plastic ones may be a good idea.
The only down side is the tape can be pretty expensive. So I always scout them out if I’m at Big Lots or surfing on eBay. Bottom line. Love it and recommend it.
