What is your workbench missing

[JustInspired]

These are what they look like.

The logo, company name, website, and date are auto-filled.

The client name COULD be autofilled, but it is more trouble than it is worth.

We make them in seconds and then hit print a few times (or dial up the number of prints).

They are 54 mm (2.1") x 25mm (1") in size and fit very nicely on a laptop lid or on the top of a tower.

I was somewhat concerned we'd get complaints, but not a single person has so much as expressed a gripe.

They are reasonably sticky, so they definitely adhere nicely, but if you wanted to remove it you most certainly can do so with little effort (and little residual stickiness).

I DID have a barcode generated (automatically based on client number) but it got busy + we aren't really scanning them back in for asset tracking, so I ditched it in favor of a cleaner look.


EDIT: we also have small colored dots (stickers of red, yellow, blue, green) from the dollar store that fit nicely in the white space. They indicate different issues. For instance, a HD labeled with a customer tag with a red dot means that drive is failed. Visually, it makes things VERY easy to ID and digest. Green is good to go (back to customer). etc. etc.

When I am looking at a shelf of systems I can simply track along the colors and the names and pretty much know exactly where each system is in the repair process.

We use colored dots a bit differently. We have a set of seven USB 2.5" hard drives that we use for imaging and FABS backups. Each drive has a different colored dot on it. The same color dot goes on the machine so we know exactly what drive contains the data for the FABS restore etc.

ah - I like that!

If we get big enough to actually have 7 simultaneous systems on the go this will come in handy.

I was in the dollar store the other day and they had VERY brightly colored plastic trays/bins that may also serve this same approach. BRIGHT green, BRIGHT yellow, etc.
