Hi all,
I've had limited success (hand) writing, and sometimes printing, labels to stick on DIY project boxes for miscellaneous labeling needs. There was some chatter here on materials and printing means and solutions, but I'm really only looking for some recommendations for DIY projects.
What types of sticky labels are better for these specific applications? What stays put and doesn't peel off the minute finger pressure gets lifted, or there's some variation in temperature and/or humidity? Or just the passage of... minutes.
I've this far used "office supplies" types, but they'd always peel off in short order, and there must be affordable, easily accessible other options I'm not aware of.
I've used a great many of those labels for all sorts of stuff over the years. What you want to avoid is the ones labled "removable", they just don't stick all that well. If the ones you have don't seem to want to stick, maybe they're just too old? I had that happen to me with one box of labels...
