I decided on the 56 Husky combo set and it's the black with black handles. When I put labels on my very very old Craftsman I used black letters on white tape labels.

What color combo do you think would look best/more professional/less junky on an all black box. Right now I'm thinking black letters on silver.

I have black Husky boxes labeled with black letters on a white background. They are all magnetic because I move things around a lot.

Not sure about the 56" Husky box but at work I made drawer labels for about a dozen Lista cabinets. They had the type of handles that you slide in a paper label and a clear plastic cover. My good old HF 44" box has the same type of handle. I made up the script on my computer using a standard word software, about 8 or 10 handles worth on a page. It took a while to get the fort size and spacing so that I could cut the page into the correct width strips that slide into the handle with the script centered up and down. I printed out the pages using colored paper, different colors corresponding to different type fasteners, std., metric, stainless, pneumatic fittings etc. I even got a compliment from one of the top executives of the company (top 20 multinational) during a inspection/tour.

I don't think this one has a place for those. It's the black handle/black box one.
