Old and dirty cable loom lable - ready for scanning<\/p><\/div>\n

I scanned in the label, reproduced the barcode in Code 39 format, using the Barcodes Inc website<\/a>; squished and squashed a font in Photoshop until\u00a0it closely matched the font used on the label; printed the label out on normal white paper; cut the outline of the label using my plotter; cut the same outline on some matt clear sticky paper; cut the paper label\u00a0in half and stuck the printed half to the back of the sticky foil, et voil\u00e1:<\/p>\n

New set of labels for the three wirelooms<\/p><\/div>\n
