Default Re: Rubber sleeve idents / markers - printing numbers/letters

Hi all,

Last night i opened one of the 1982 packs of pink ex-RAF sleeves, and tried stretching a sleeve with my Hellermann pliers... astonishingly it was as it if was brand new!!!! No hint of perishing, no tears, and returnd to its normal sixe after giving it a good testing.

Very impressed.

As for marking them, i have a modern heat-shrink printer ( a rather good one) but it is only capable of long unbroken lengths, it cuts the sleeves when printed. Als it couldnt cope with the thickness of these sleeves.

Cheers, Scott
