“…Information labels for specimens include location, geographical, Global Positioning System (GPS), barcode, etc. (see more details in Krogmann and Holstein 2010 , Dellinger et al 2016 ). Also, specimens are mounted on triangular cards and pinned using AXA (alcohol-xylene-amyl acetate) methods ( van Achterberg 2009 ).…”

A new mechanical innovation is described to deal with standard labelling of dried specimens on triangular cards and/or pinned specimens in personal and public collections. It works quickly, precisely, and easily and is very useful for maintaining label uniformity in collections. The tools accurately sets the position of labels in the shortest possible time. This tools has advantages including rapid processing, cost effectiveness, light weight, and high accuracy, compared to conventional methods. It is fully customisable, compact, and does not require specialist equipment to assemble. Conventional methods generally require locating holes on the pinning block surface when labelling with a resulting risk to damage of the specimens. Insects of different orders can be labelled by this simple and effective tool.
