"I labeled all wiring on my computer and network with special tape. YES! You can select the margins on the label to be set at a small 1/16" for no waste. Peeling is easier if you pull the label over a sharp edge like scissors to create a bubble. (Works good but you need to practice this.)

"Nice product, quiet, rugged with a nice form factor. It however is very wasteful of the tapes. It wastes on average 20-30% of the tape on blank space at the beginning and end of the tape, and I end up having to cut out the white space with scissors. "
