Nevs Ink alpha labels are intended to fold over the edge of a patient chart label for easy visibility in a filing cabinet or on a filing shelf. Alpha labels most often correspond to the patients last name but could also correspond to the doctors last name or for another organizational system followed by your department. Alpha labels come in a standard form or a version with a laminate covering which helps protect the labels from destruction from water, rough handling or other environmental hazards. Although Nevs Ink stock alpha labels come in a standard 1 x 1 size, customized labels can be designed to your specific needs. Whether you need each letter to be in a specific color or the size to be just a little bit bigger or smaller, Nevs Ink can make labels that will work perfectly for you. Do not worry that this customization is going to hold you back time-wise with your organizational need; made to order products generally ship within six days upon proof approval.
