How to Label Your Locations

Some considerations for making and mounting labels:

  • Your labels should be durable, and fixed in place (i.e. don't use magnets, or labels that can be easily moved)
  • Labels should be easy to read, preferably from across a room
  • It should be easy to create new labels or edit them (use an office printer, or label maker)
  • They should be mounted so as not to obstruct normal activity or get easily ripped off or damaged
  • They should show the FULL NAME of the location, and no two labels should be the same
  • They should have arrows that point to the location making identifying the correct location easier, especially with shelf labels
