Maker Space Lost Item Report Form

Losing tools, components, or personal items at a busy maker space or tech lab can be frustrating—especially when you're mid-project. This Maker Space Lost Item Report Form helps members quickly report missing items and provides lab managers with the information they need to track down lost belongings.

Built for maker spaces, fabrication labs, hackerspaces, and tech workshops, this template collects membership details, equipment used during the session, project information, and a detailed description of the lost item. Automated notifications ensure lab managers are alerted immediately, so they can check workstations, tool storage, and communal areas while the trail is still fresh.

Paperform makes it easy to customize this form to match your space's branding, embed it on your member portal, or share it via QR codes around the lab. Use conditional logic to route reports to the right staff member based on the area or equipment involved, and connect submissions to your CRM, Slack, or project management tool using Stepper workflows to keep your operations team in sync.

Whether you're running a community workshop, university lab, or coworking maker space, this form helps you deliver better member support, reduce lost item frustration, and maintain an organized, accountable environment.
