Big jobs come with big tag lists: an MCC lineup, a new building's panels, a valve chart. Those lists already live in a spreadsheet, usually laid out the way the engineer or the foreman likes. Bulk order takes that file as it is.

02What a good sheet looks like
Any layout works, but these columns give the best result. Only the text is essential:
| Column | Example | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Text | MCC-1 BKT 1A / EF-3 | One column, or one column per line |
| Quantity | 2 | Blank means one |
| Size | 1 x 3 or 1/4" letters | Plate size or letter height |
| Colour | Black/White | Background first, letters second |
| Mounting | Adhesive or 2 holes | Optional |
| Reference | Dwg E-401 | Optional, kept on the line |
