We have had very few complaints and it has helped us to lower the rate of theft and minimize the shelf space now without bulky security covers. We have a circular property stamp on the doughnut and we by hand write the last significant digits of the bar code for our tracking encase the disc and the case become separated.

We are currently using the overlays and hand-writing our library's ownership information around the DVD hub, as we had been concerned about excessive labels throwing off the DVDs' spin/balance. But we're trying to streamline the processing of these items, and get them out on the shelves faster. We're very interested in anyone who has used both the security overlays WITH a printable (or pre-printed) hub label--has this worked for you? Have there been problems (patron complaints about playability issues, etc.)? Any real-world information would be greatly appreciated!
