Several Festool owners reported that systainer labels fall and can't be put back in place.
 Is it possible that Festool keeps downloadable copies, pdf or scanned, or whatever is
 appropriate, available so it is easy to print a replacement on some appropriate paper ?

I'd have to vote for replacements, for those who need them.  I like the fact that the lables peel off easily.  Love my tools, like my systainers.  Just not together.  I use shop built boxes / shelves for my tools, and systainers for misc. stuff.

Festeringtool,

Had you taken a moment to consider the comments, you'd realise the simple problem is that the cases (systainers) are indentical, once you have a collection of Festools you start to appreciate the necessity of the labels.

However, why am I taking the trouble to explain to such a shallow mind?

Your comments are tiresome, I've ignored you to date because you're obviously suffering some pretty severe insecurities regarding your personal status. (The knee jerk reaction of lashing out at others in a vain attempt to make yourself look more important or knowledgeable is always the result of deep self loathing). So I have not only taken pity on you, I have pitied you.

I'm truly sorry that life has appeared to you to be so unfair that your standard reaction to almost any situation is to attempt sarcastic wit. (you're succeeding in the sarcastic half of that, as to the wit, you came to this gunfight unarmed).

This is not an invitation for a flame match - in fact I will not respong to (or even read) any more of your posts.

Have a nice life, try to get some help - or at least give some thought to your feelings about others and more importantly, your feelings about yourself.

That is a solution, but only if you're sure you'll never need to upgrade a tool to a newer/bigger/smaller version. Having a stickerless systainer with permanent marker all over it WILL affect the resale value...

resale value?
come on now,it's not like it's an antique!
i'm planning to keep my tools.
you can use alcohol or lacquer thinner to remove the "permanent marker"l

Exactly! Just get it marked up with a permanent marker - it's a tool not jewellery!

  I saw on E-bay today that someone is selling these stickers.  Its a set of four or five labels for the systainers.  For TEN DOLLARS!
Use a label maker if you need to label them.  I usually just write on a strip of masking tape for most of my boxes on the shelves.

  Of course I don't know how to get a replacement for the really cool sticker I got on top of the Domino box.  I bought during the first shipment last year & they included a sticker that said "A precision tool for a Master Craftsman, John Kunze".  Thanks for that one Festool.  What a pleasant surprise when I opened that box.    Did any one else get that sticker on a tool, or am I the only one.  

  

Thomas,
  Why not contact the E-bay seller & ask him if he can supply those, as well.  He might be able to, he seems to have a source for these stickers, as they're listed many times over.

That was a sticker McFeely's offered for a time, that was under Shane's time there.

The ink is rubbing off, but now I'll always have this picture on the shop wall.   

Thanks Shane!

I was thinking of cutting an 1/8" thick Plexiglas or lexan the the exact size of the label this weekend.

Place it over the label, drill and secure to the systainer with 4 rivets.   I have a couple systainers with peeling labels I would like to save. 

This of course does not provide a solution to this threads question.  But perhaps it can help those keep their labels from falling of their systainers. 

Call me Anal, Type A, Extreme, Obsessive, fanatical, zealous, fickle, coo koo, crazy.

Truth is, keeping the labels or professionally labeling the systainers may:
*Keep you organized
*Speed up/contribute to establishing credibility, Customer's will quickly form opinions of you based on your appearance. 

Yup, you're being anal.  Can you make me some?   

Always make your toys from templates.

In case they break while being played with, so a quick replacement can be produced.   

All the Festool knobs I've seen have been too large.  It would not be aesthetic.

Perhaps fabricating a frame for the plexiglas.  German silver, by preference.

How about steampunk Systainers?  You mentioned the veneers.  Nice brass trunk fittings and schnappers, maybe a cast handle--could be beautiful.
