Storage media label ESSELTE 2434 — self-adhesive labels for disks and tapes

ESSELTE 2434 storage media labels are self-adhesive labels designed for marking and organizing magnetic tapes, optical discs and other storage media. Supplied as pre-cut labels for easy application, they provide a clear surface for writing or for print application and are compatible with manual or mechanical label applicators. The design supports visible identification of contents for archiving, media management and backup workflows while helping to maintain tidy storage and quick retrieval.

Advantages

These self-adhesive labels feature a durable surface suitable for handwritten notes or for thermal/laser printed text, with adhesive formulated to stick reliably to plastic and paper-based media cases. Pre-cut format reduces application time and ensures consistent placement. Bright colour combinations improve visual differentiation between media types, projects or retention periods, while a sizeable front area gives space for descriptive titles, dates and short notes.

Suitable for

• Labeling magnetic tapes used for backups and archives
• Marking optical discs such as CD, DVD and Blu-ray
• Organizing media in storage racks, cases or sleeves
• Color-coding media by project, department or retention policy

Key specifications

• Pre-cut self-adhesive labels suitable for storage media
• Durable printable/writable front surface compatible with handwriting and common printers
• Adhesive backing formulated for reliable adhesion to plastic and paper media surfaces
• Bright colour combinations for visual differentiation
• Large front area for descriptive text, dates and codes

How to use

Peel a pre-cut label from the backing and align it on the chosen media case or disc sleeve, pressing firmly from the center outward to remove air pockets and ensure full contact with the surface. For printed application, feed sheets or rolls into the compatible printer following the printer manufacturer’s guidelines for label media. Use a permanent or archival-quality pen for handwritten entries where long-term durability is needed.

Usage recommendations

Store labels in a cool, dry place before use and apply to clean, dry surfaces for best adhesion. For long-term archival storage, choose archival-compatible ink or print settings and allow printed labels to dry fully before stacking or inserting into sleeves.
