Label Guide
A practical sequence for building an offline wallet tracker before adhesives and binding begin.
This guide mirrors how we brief clients before a Custody Register Commission or Labeling Studio Session. Adapt the codes to your shelves; keep the discipline.
- Inventory without nicknames first. List each device by physical trait and storage spot. Add nicknames only after duplicates are impossible.
- Choose location codes from architecture, not boxes. Shelf letters and row numbers outlast cardboard. Write the code on the register before the label.
- One legend, one ink rule. Black for active, another colour for retired-but-retained. Never overwrite; strike and date instead.
- Label the sleeve and the device. If one mark fails in humidity, the other still ties to the address book line.
- Leave blank lines for rotation. Crowded pages encourage margin chaos. Commission extra leaves if your desk rotates often.
- Seal a photo of the opening pages. Keep it separate from seeds. Use it only to rebuild after damage—not as a daily tool.
