Hi Alecia,

We use a laser jet printer or a copier that uses toner (no ink) to print labels on copy paper. Ink printers will cause the letters/numbers on the label to bleed. We then use B-72 to adhere the label to the item.

Please feel free to email me directly and I can send you images of what I’m talking about.

Alecia,

You could try a Stabilo pencil. I've used them for modern photos, but it works on pretty much all flat, non-porous surfaces and is designed for glass as well.

Hello all!

I'm wondering what other institutions have done to put their accession/object ID on glass objects. I've done a little research and have found the Acryloid layer - Identi-Pen - top coat method, however, I was curious what else anyone has done. This three step process seems a little time consuming for what my organization really needs right now (we have about 500 objects that need their IDs).

Would archival safe, acid free adhering labels be appropriate? Other options?

Thank you in advance for any suggestions/ tips!
