As part of his Charlie Bates Solar Astronomy Project, Stephen Ramsden travels the country in a Ford Transit van packed to the rim with his equipment to over 50 schools a year educating students on the sun’s effects on aviation, communications, and climate. See how Stephen’s P-touch labeled equipment maintains its readability and adhesion while being packed, and unpacked from his van.

STATUS
“The P-Touch standard and extra adhesive labels have really been put to the test over the last month. I transported my solar astronomy charity to 10 events around Georgia and unpacked and packed all of my equipment each time.

I am happy with their performance so far.” To read more: www.stephenramsden.com
