What are I.D. Products?
Identification products are anything used to mark, label, or otherwise identify wire, cable, connector, or any other part of an electrical system. Why would you ever need to use I.D. products? Navigating an electrical system can quickly become a confusing process.

Are there other wire marking products available?
When it comes to wire marking, there is no one size fits all approach. This is why we carry a range of products in order to offer the most solutions possible. Some instances or applications may call for a simple labeling approach using a few letters or numbers. Not every situation will require the use of a Dymo label maker. Take a look at some of the options we offer to determine which method best suits your specific needs.
Marking pens - Many people believe that you can use any marking device when writing on wire or cable. This is a common misconception. If your marker writes on the wire or cable, that doesn’t mean it will last. You need to use a marking pen designed specifically for writing on wire and cable. Our marking pens use a specially formulated ink that produces quick drying non-smearing writing. They are designed to even write on glossy surfaces or nylon. That should show you just how good these marking pens actually are.
Wire Marker Books - When you’re looking for portability and convenience, you only need look as far as wire marking books. The pages contain pre-marked legends that are easy to remove and apply to the surface of your choice. Each label is made from solvent resistant vinyl cloth. This is designed to work both indoor and outdoor giving you more flexibility in the applications you use them on. When you use wire marker books, abrasion and exposure to oil are no longer a concern.
Marker Rolls and Dispensers - This is an economical way to mark wires at your convenience. Small enough to easily fit into your pocket, these marker rolls are an ideal solution for field service. All you need to do is roll out the appropriate label and press down on the cover to cut the label off the roll. It really doesn’t get easier than that. The cutting blade ensures there will be no serrated edges which, in turn, means better adhesion. All marker rolls are made from a polyester film which resists heat, oil, and solvents.
