Default Simple method to mark calibration and functions externally on a case?

Hello,

I’m making several bits of precision test equipment and am also looking ahead to completion stages of my major project.

It feels a shame not to put some good-looking finishes to the cases; things like calibration markers around dials, my name for the whole function of the project and ancillary functions like on, off, and the function of BNC connectors.

It feels unbalanced to put care into the internsl assembly and then not to honour that by taking pride in these details .

I have previously used a hand-held simple labelling machine for lash-ups, but I want to find a better-looking method.

I use die-cast boxes as well as the grey cases from kaput PC switchboard mode power supplies.

I know there is s lot of expertise in this on the forum and I am often impressed by the professionalism of similar work by forum members.

I do have really limited skills in this area at present.

The simplest and neatest suggestion is the best candidate for me, not out of laziness but in view of my in some aspects limited facilities here.

Thank you!
