A device (100) for arranging a marking (101) circumferentially closed around a prolate object (102) or for providing a marking (101) arrangeable circumferentially closed around a prolate object (102) is described. The object (102) is preferably a conductor. The device (100) comprises a material interface (156) to receive a printed medium (208) printed by a printer (200) as a printed product (214); a data interface (158) to communicate with the printer (200) to arrange or provide the marking (101); and at least one sensor (106) to acquire control signals that imply or indicate at least one measurand of the object (102) to be marked. The at least one sensor (106) is in data communication with the data interface (158). Further, the device (100) comprises at least one actuator (120; 122) for arranging the marking (101) on the object (102) in a circumferentially closed manner or for providing the marking for circumferentially closed arrangement, according to the communication via the data interface (158) and by means of the printed product (214) output by the printer (200).
