Hi all,

I'm thinking of expanding my tool box with a compact handheld labeller. As you may imagine I need to identify cables quite often and I'd like to do it in the most professionally looking way.
What I like are the self laminating cable labels. But it looks like you need a big machine to produce one. I'm not sure I'd like to put a label flag on my cables, when I'm on site.

Does anybody have any suggestions?

I looked into this a while back. See here.

The Brady machine is the one that you want. You don't want to see the price, however. That is why I am still using a regular label machine and clear heat shrink, which is only useful for labelling new cables (before the ends are attached) since heat shrink tubing will not fit over most connectors.
