Custom Systainer Label PDF for Everyone

I got a new label maker last week, the Brother VC-500W and i have been making labels with it like a mad man. It prints up to 2" tall labels by basically any length. Full color labels that are self adhesive and so far look very durable. The color accuracy isn't perfect, but the detail is impressive.

I got the printer for $85 with 3 rolls of material on ebay and it doesn't use any ink like a regular printer, only these special rolls that somehow are full color. I'm not sure on the technology behind it but like I said so far its been very impressive. The price for each label works out to be around $0.50 each which I think is quite reasonable. It uses a computer design program or you can use the phone app and both work great. The printer has wifi so you can print from anywhere in your shop/home.

I've got a lot more labels to share but I will post what I have done so far in case anyone can use them.

Nice! Brother makes great printers. That's been my experience anyway with 4 different units over 24 years.

Do you have those templates in the Brother "lbx" format?
I've been trying to get a good template to use, this is mine

I actually use photoshop and have a blank that I use and modify on there. I find it easier to work on photoshop than on the brother software as it has more features and I've been using it for many years.

I attached my blank photoshop psd file though if that helps.

I also did not like the way the brother prints the light gray background as it comes out sort of pinkish, so I think the white background is better.

Oh and the font I use that most closely matches the Festool font is called "DINPro" (regular and bold) and can be found online for free.

[member=76720]sirhc[/member] , the download links don't work anymore. Anyway I could get a copy?

Yes off course, I think its to large in file size to attach to this post but I uploaded it here again to download the Illustrator editable PDF;

https://we.tl/t-Ao4PPWpRhv (link only last 7 days unfortunately)

Hello,

The We-Transfer link is down again, Could you maybe share this file again? Thanks.
