LABELS

STORAGE BIN LABEL POUCHES
One of the biggest problems with storage tubs (particularly opaque ones) is knowing what's in them! You can put a piece of tape on the outside -- but that's not very attractive and you run the risk of your label falling off.But now there is a more stylish way to organize your storage bins!

These 4.25": X 2.9"W adhesive plastic label pouches stick to any size or style of container -- they even work on storage accessories like shelves, shoe boxes, and Tupperware. They keep your label protected from grime, wipe off easily if they get dirty, and do not peel off in the heat, humidity or even the cold -- yet can be easily moved from one bin to another without losing their stick.

Comes in a variety of packages sizes -- from 10 to 500 labels in a pack -- each with genuine 3M adhesive on the back. Each pouch comes with a 4"L X 2.75"W reversible cover stock insert where you can write the contents of the bin.

And you have 3 insert options. Choose white inserts at no additional cost, pay 40 cents more per insert for solid-color cards (great for color coding your containers) -- or pay 50-75 cents more per insert for our themed and holiday cards (a fun way to add some personality to your organization)!

Later on, if you change the contents and need to change the label, simply turn your card insert over or put in a new card. You don't have to remove the pouch or worry about trying to tear off a stubborn label to replace it. You never need guess what's in that container again! Perfect for:

containers of holiday decorations
tubs of off-season clothes
kid's toy bins
garage, attic, or basement storage
archive files at your office
Tupperware in your freezer or fridge
any container that needs a label

Mabel's Labels

Mabel's Labels, a Canadian based company founded by moms, offers a great way to keep track of your child's items. They are perfect for labeling clothing, cups, and bags for school, daycare, camp, play dates, and more. The personalized labels enable you to customize labels with your choice of vibrant colors and choose from a variety of fun icon designs for boys and girls.

We received some samples to try and I love them. We tested one on a sippy cup and ran it through the dishwasher. They weren't kidding about labels staying put. After about five minutes of painstaking peeling, I was able to remove it. It did leave a sticky residue, which came right off with my fabulous Goo Gone sticky remover.

Famous Sticky Labels:
UV and fade resistant.
Withstands the dishwasher.
Colorful labels with a variety of fun icons to choose from.

Do your kid's have allergies? The allergy labels allow you to list up to six allergies and stick the labels to food containers, cups, and more!

Mabel's Labels isn't just for kids. Grown-ups can label their food containers, cups, silverware and won't have to worry about losing them at work. Plus, check out the household labels, which include classroom pack, crafter pack, and my favorite, the cord control.

BATHROOM

"Consider purchasing toiletry bags that can be hung open on a hook on the wall or behind the bathroom door. Store all everyday toiletries such as deodorant, shaving equipment etc in here, as well as a spare toothbrush and toothpaste. The bag can be quickly grabbed from the hook whenever it needs to be packed for travelling, decreasing the risk of forgetting an essential item."
