The 6 Golden Lab Rules

The 6 Golden Lab Rules

For those who live among test tubes, unexpected reactions, and glassware that always looks the same... here's a set of 6 engraved lab tags featuring the classic (and slightly sarcastic) Universal Lab Rules.

Please consider following me, it really matters to me!

Perfect to print and hang up as a reminder, decoration, or fun gift for forgetful lab mates 😄

📌 Included rules:

1. Never lick the spoon.
2. Hot glass looks just like cold glass.
3. If you don't know what you're doing, at least do it neatly.
4. Pipettes and hiccups don't mix.
5. Assume all unmarked beakers contain a highly toxic, fast-acting poison.
6. You can't detect an odorless gas by smell.

🧪 Clean, simple design – prints easily
🎯 Ideal size for lab walls, boards, or desks.
📐 Easily scalable to fit your space.

📎 Designed without mounting holes – just use a small piece of 3M-style double-sided tape to stick them anywhere. No need to drill holes in the wall (because yes, putting holes in walls is always a little sad)!

⚙️ I didn’t enable ironing – partly out of laziness (it saves over an hour of print time 😅), and partly to avoid messing up the small engraved text, which can get distorted. 👉 That said, feel free to turn it on and experiment – your lab, your rules!

Enjoy!
