    Do you recommend just your address on the label? I was thinking of adding an email address as well…..your thoughts?

      Email is great! This was an old label used as an example.

    What kind of label maker made that?

      It was just one of my old cheap return address labels that you put on letters.

    I left a pair of Bose headphones on a plane once, and because I had placed a business card inside the case (there’s a place for that), I was paged in the airport and got my headphones back. The airline employee who returned them told me that most people don’t put any ID information on their belongings. It’s a great idea.

    Couldn’t agree more!
    I lost my Kobo just a few months after I bought it because I didn’t bother labeling it :(

    On my iPad I put a note on the sign in page with cell number, email and a note that if it was lost I would immediately erase it and report it as stolen to Apple and the police. It would be better for it to be returned for a reward.

    I got an iPod Classic back after two weeks because of the label I applied.
