Strange maybe it is the way we wash our screens I have tried over the years many label systems and even spray painted enamel numbers on the frames and they always washed off. Pocono has some type of stamp they use right on the frame and it never washes off wish i knew what the ink was,.


Other than industrial Sharpies, the best thing I've found is Dymo embossed labels. They DO NOT come off, even in the dip tank, and the embossed lettering can't be washed out.

A small piece of colored duct tape...orange is 160s, purple is 200s...and so on.  Ive tried industrial markers and label but for us this works the best

I have started cutting numbers with my vinyl cutter and applying them to the frame, and cover those with either packing tape or regular scotch tape (either one holds up fine). I place them on one side only and in the same spot on the same side of the frame. When the screens in the rack are right-side up and on the left-hand side, I know they are coated and ready to go. Any other way is uncoated.


Ditto on the vinyl cut , but we haven't had to bother with the packing tape, but then we don't have the diptank....yet.

finger nail polish on the mesh, you get to pick the color that suits your mesh code and eye color. Put it on the mesh in the softened area of the corners.
We find marking the frame gets to be a problem when we remesh with a different mesh count and have to change the code on the frame.

sharpie with a coating of clear fingernail polish or super glue.
