What labels should you use for library books?
- Mar 1, 2012
If you work in a library, you recognize that library labels for book classification are an important part of keeping your library running efficiently. You need labels that will be compatible with your cataloguing software. You also need your labels to be durable enough to last and hold up against the wear and tear that library books receive.
Library customers often call and ask, “what labels should I use for library books?”
The answer?
We recommend our Dymo Compatible 30347 Labels. These Dymo library labels come in both paper and polypropylene material. If you missed our previous blog article on polypropylene, this material is both waterproof and tear-proof, providing the durability that you need for labels that need to withstand the test of time. The polypropylene material is also resistant to fading and discoloration from fluorescent lighting, desirable traits for labels exposed to harsh fluorescent lighting on library book shelves. These labels provide an aggressive adhesive that is ideal for a demanding environment.
Do keep in mind that the Dymo software doesn’t have the functionality to manage the inventory of your books. Before purchasing we recommend double checking with any 3rd party vendor you are using for your inventory management to ensure that the Dymo compatible labels will be compatible with the 3rd party software. These labels are commonly used with the SIRSI library system.
These library labels come only in white with 750 labels per roll and are 1 x 1-1/2 inches in size. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us. To order library labels, visit us at LabelValue.com.
