Do your phones look like junk?Are your phones programmed for
one-touch dialing?Do people waste time because they can't read the labels on their phones?
The die-cut cards on your phones, with holes for buttons, and spaces for writing-in numbers, names and functions; are officially known as "designation
cards" or "designation strips." Phone guys usually call them
"desis" (pronounced "deh'-zeez"). Sometimes, they're just called
"labels" or "overlays" or "underlays" or "number
cards."
It's pretty near impossible to work on them in a typewriter, even if
you still have a typewriter; and time-intensive efforts at feeding them through laser
printers or sticking on bits of Post-it Notes or Brother P-Touch labels seldom provide a
satisfactory solution. Some people never fill-in the cards, and others just scrawl on them
with pen or pencil. And even if you manage to get the card looking OK, somehow, sooner or
later, something in your home or office will change, and you'll end up changing a label
with white-out or tape, and it will look lousy and the goo from the tape will make your
buttons stick.
We have a much better solution. It costs more than a Bic pen, but
looks much better, and the people who use your phones won't waste time struggling
to read faded scribbles, when they have to make critical calls.
