Yes, We're Label nerds

If we could give you one piece of advice when it comes to managing your inventory, it would be this: LABEL EVERYTHING!

Admit it, there is just something satisfying about seeing inventory items on a shelf, organized, tucked away in bins, and labelled appropriately. No one likes having to dig through boxes or plastic storage totes to find materials, especially when you're in a hurry. Having a storage system with clear labels helps make building items and filling orders easier and more efficient.

Our favorite label maker is the Brother P-Touch. There are lots of models out there but we happen to have the PT-45. It's super easy to use (our kids use it) and it prints out clean labels that we use practically everywhere. Yes, you can get a little fancy with its different fonts and symbols but if you have an hour to spend messing around with fonts then we need to have a talk about time management... The refills are inexpensive and come in a variety of colours. You can find a similar label maker on Amazon or your favorite office supply shop.

Whatever label maker you use, make sure it's simple, cost effective, and, most importantly, that you USE IT. Organization goes a long way to making your life easier and your business more successful.
