Label for Festool Systainer with Spax Screws

[jbasen]

For those who purchased the Systainer with Spax Screw Assortment from Highland Woodworking, I put together a custom Systainer label.

Enjoy

Nice label! I printed several from festool website, and they all come out with small letters and small image. Can you disclose your secret?

Glad I saw this thread. Wasn't aware of the Highland Spax package.

Just ordered!  These ought to "hold" me for awhile! [smile]

Thanks! [tongue]

There really isn't any secret or trick.  I started with a label that I downloaded from another thread on FOG and just edited it in Photoshop Elements.  The original author (I wish I remembered which thread I downloaded it from so I could give him credit) did a great job. I've just taken the original label and modified it several times now for different Systainers.  In this case it was a bit of a time consuming effort as the graphic of the Spax screws I found had a background that I had to carefully cut away without disturbing the overall image before I pasted it into the label.  Photoshop Elements is fairly straight forward to use and not very expensive.  GIMP would be another alternative and that can be downloaded for free off the Internet.  I simply find Photoshop Elements easier to use. 

Hope this helps
