How to Make the Most of your Cheap Dymo Label Printer
A cheap Dymo label printer can do wonders for eliminating clutter, helping you get organized and giving your files and materials that have a polished, professional look.
Here’s how you can make the most of your cheap Dymo label printer:
* A label printer, like a Dymo label printer, allows you to print on self-adhesive paper or material using special feed mechanisms. It helps simplify what would otherwise be a fussy task of label printing if you use the regular computer printers. And it gets the job done fast.
* Dymo label printers, from the company that manufactures office, worksite, school and home products like embossers, label makers, industrial portables and label printers, are one of the most popular label printers. They come in a wide range of prices and models. The simpler, less expensive label printers let you do the simpler labeling tasks and are perfect for lighter work load, home and school use. The more complex label printers – which are, of course, pricier – let you do heavy duty labeling and have more options for tasks. So if you will mostly be doing simpler labeling tasks, a cheap Dymo label printer is just perfect.
* To start eliminating clutter, plan how you will organize your files and other documents. Maybe arranging the documents according to how frequently they will be filed or retrieved would work for you. Figure out how you will be using the files and store them accordingly.
* And then start labeling. Use the labels in your lever arch files, storage boxes, archive boxes, folders, packets and envelopes to better organize your home office documents or school project items. The idea here is that labels should be able to tell you what’s inside the file container without you having to open the file container. Colored labels can also help if you want to further organize using color-coding.
* If you are organizing the files in your work station, start by clearing your desk. Always keep your work station as free of paper and clutter as possible. Throw out the files you don’t need. Make sure the paper on your desk gets to its proper – and labeled — folder or box. You can label one folder for your “Daily Files” and place it nearer your desk. Or, let’s say you have a labeled folder for “Contracts” but you don’t retrieve these files often, you can put this folder along with the other folders with files that you seldom retrieve in a storage box. And then label the box accordingly.
* Use the label printer for the kids’ books, notebooks and other school materials. You can print out name and other pertinent information without any hassle because the label printer allows you to print several copies using the same text or information.
* Label printers are also great for making address labels. You can use them for your greeting cards. They’re particularly useful for special occasions and holidays when you send out a number of greeting cards or notes.
* A cheap Dymo label printer can be a lifesaver when it comes to time management. You can use labels as you plan your tasks and projects. If you have daily, weekly and monthly tasks and projects, you can make folders for them. Group and label them according to duration. And then add a separate “Urgent” folder for tasks that may need your immediate attention.
