PenFriend III Labels - 210 Pack

by Independent Living Aids

$39.95

Setup with instructions The labels themselves are simple peel-and-stick consumables, but using them effectively requires already owning and operating a PenFriend III device, understanding the unique pack lettering system to avoid duplicates, and organizing a labeling scheme across the home. A family member or caregiver could set this up from documentation in under 30 minutes once the primary device is configured — guided_setup is appropriate.

What it is

Summary

AI-generated from vendor-published content · April 26, 2026

These are replacement/expansion label packs for the PenFriend III audio labeling system, a pen-shaped device used by people with vision loss to record and play back spoken messages attached to everyday objects. Each label has a unique embedded code that the PenFriend pen can read, so you can record a voice note — 'chicken noodle soup,' 'blue shirt,' 'Tuesday's medication' — and hear it played back when you scan the label later. The pack contains 210 self-adhesive labels with tactile borders and raised circles so they can be located by touch without vision. This is a consumable accessory, not a standalone product — you must already own a PenFriend III to use these. One important thing to know: each label in your collection must be globally unique, so you cannot buy two packs with the same letter designation (A, B, C, etc.) — duplicate packs will produce conflicting labels.
