10 Ways a DYMO LabelWriter Can Make Your Business More Efficient

I recently received the DYMO LabelWriter 450 Twin Turbo to try and can easily see how this machine can be helpful to small businesses.  It’s a fast little label printer that allows users to create labels directly from text in Microsoft Word, Outlook, and other programs which makes it easy to create professional looking labels in mere minutes for use around the office and for mailing.  With two roll printing capability, it maximizes productivity since you can load two rolls of the same labels and automatically switch to the second roll when the first runs out without interrupting your print job.

DYMO has a wide variety of LabelWriter Printers and handheld electronic label makers to choose from to fit any office budget.  Here are some ways you can use DYMO labelers to organize your business:

1. Label mailboxes in the mail room.  Have you ever tried to sort mail into unlabeled mailboxes?  ‘Nuff said!
2. Affix a name label to the outside of cubes and doors so new employees can find and get to know their colleagues quickly.  This also prevents aimless wandering by visitors.
3. Remind colleagues to “Dial 9” when sending outgoing faxes with a label on the fax machine to prevent endless questions about why the fax machine won’t work.
4. Label the conference room speakerphone with the phone number and Skype it out quickly when people forget the call-in number.
5. Ensure that every supply has a place in the supply room and label their locations.  Being able to see where supplies go makes it easy for colleagues to find what they are looking for, return extra supplies, and streamlines the re-order process.
6. Deciphering handwritten file folder labels can be a nightmare.  File them away quickly with easily read labels made on the LabelWriter.
7. Remind colleagues when the office fridge is subject to its regular purge.  “Fridge cleaned every Friday” is a helpful reminder that will keep your fridge from being overstuffed and moldy.
8. Label the pots of coffee so that poor decaf drinking soul won’t be wired all week when they pick up the pot of regular by mistake.
9. Help a non-tech savvy colleague by labeling their cords.  A little time spent labeling now is a worthwhile investment!  Trust me!
10. Affix your name to your red stapler so your cubemate doesn’t claim it as their own and you don’t have to hunt for it when it goes missing.

DYMO also makes holiday labels ($10.50 for 130) that can be substituted for the regular white labels to spruce up holiday mailings and send holiday cheer!
