Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work. - Thomas Edison
Dymo labels but hand written with permanent markers, then cheap packaging tape over the top of that, lasts forever, easy to read in any light. Now that I have the Dymo label printer on my desk I may start using it for marking screens.
Here we label the mesh, initial stretch date and subsequent retension dates on the side of the frames so they are visible in the racks during coating, taping and while awaiting masking.On the front we label it with the Job name, SKU (if applicable), print designation and screen count...this way this information is visible on the racks in the shop where we keep completed jobs.We use a brother label maker. The labels hold up surprisingly well, some times for years.

Is this out of a software like shopworx or the like or do you have to do it manually?
Vinyl cut numbers. they last forever and still peel right off if need be.

I found that when you put them on the roller frame and cut the tie off you have a sharp square edge and they will bust a screen that you stack next to it if your not careful.

we spray paint both ends of the frame a specific color. our 160s are yellow, 230s are red, 305s are blue. very cheap and lasts a long time. its easy to pull out of the drying racks after they have been reclaimed and sort them into seperate piles to be coated...ill add a pic in the morning when i get to the shop
I still like my colored "electrical tape" on the end of the short roller (newman frames). Black right is 150. Red left is 305, etc. Holds up pretty well and easily identifiable up close or at a distance.
