Mosaic Vivarium generates cage cards as PDF files which you print. A very cost effective printing solution is to purchase a $130 DYMO thermal (black and white) label printer:
You can attach this to the USB port of a laptop on a cart in your facility and print labels one-by-one as needed with no waste of label stock.
The majority of Mosaic Vivarium cage card templates are sized for part number 30256 labels. These are 2-5/16" x 4" (300 labels/roll) and will adhere to a 3x5" index card leaving a border. By using colored index card stock, you can color cue your cage cards by type.
Direct from DYMO is a little expensive.
Here are a couple of sources for lower prices on DYMO 30256 labels. We recommend trying a roll to make sure you are getting the print quality you expect.
