How do you label your SDHC cards?

[Burners]

Pen, sticky label, both sides, one side?

 

[Green Hornet]

Silver marker, one side:
A1, A2, A3 etc.. for A camera
B1, B2, B3 etc for B camera

 

[DNathan]

Sharpee on both front and back.

I haven't needed to label mine so far.. I just use whichever card if it's empty. What benefit does labeling have?

I'm with DNathan, sharpie!!!... 1,2,3,4 (plus your info and a promise of reward if found, you never know) and i split the video shoot. I was told when i was little to never put all my eggs in one basket =)

 

[matt s.]

Sharpie.

 

[SPrimeau]

Sharpie too. 1,2,3,4.

I'll use 1,2 for camera 1 and 3,4 for camera 2

Sharpie A,B,C,D...

I'd warn people NOT to use sticky labels that may stick to things inside the SD slot, make the card hard to insert or remove, etc.

However, I also carry these little post-it "flags" (about 2" long and 3/4" wide) which I mark with pertinent details and either wrap around the card, or stick to the card with some "flag" hanging out of the case, once the card is used (depending on what card case I'm using).

Also I think the cards are dangerously small and easy to lose. So I keep them in a dv tape case labelled for each project - much easier to locate in the gadget bag.

I actually have two cases (like http://www.amazon.com/Vanguard-Di-H..._2?ie=UTF8&s=automotive&qid=1242583205&sr=8-2 or http://www.amazon.com/HAKUBA-USA-DM...1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1242583284&sr=8-1) in each camera bag, one marked "USED" and one marked "AVAILABLE". After a card is taken from the AVAILABLE case and used, it's put in the USED case, write-protected and marked with a post-it flag. Whatever anyone thinks may have happened, it's forbidden to erase a card from the USED case in the field!

I have this one in a dark gray color (almost black) http://www.amazon.com/Gepe-CardSafe-Extreme-Case-memory/dp/B0002I71LG

Pelican also makes a good case! =)

Thank you !

The colored ones are really ugly

No sharpie, erasable marker pen.

No sharpie, erasable marker pen.

I'd advise against that... eraseable markers are pretty much guaranteed to leave particulate matter in your card slot (and thus eventually connectors/electronics)...

Sharpie....and not to hijack, but has anyone ever used one of these? Could come in handy in the field?
