Labeling carts

You guys are nutz! Cross contamination? Good grief I can't even spell that!
I bet all your plastics have lids and your shoes are all neat and pointing in the same direction. I have lots of shoes, that's cause I am never sure where the 2nd shoe went!

I freely admit to being nuts! And yes, I TRY to keep all my lids and containers organized...shoes, hmmm I need to sort those (I keep sorting lists, ugh), but at least my closet is organized by color, fabric weight, sleeve length...OY! And I don't even consider myself tidy yet! Heh. There's always a way to get MORE organized ya know! (oh dear!)

im with Maxx, just use masking tape, regular ball point pen, and clear tape over the masking tape to keep it from rubbing off.....

Well after trying in vain to find a silver sharpie around here, and getting annoyed at the black ink rubbing off easy sometimes, I found a great solution. I got a labeler off ebay. Brother labeler PT-1290 can use a tape they make that's 9/64" wide. Got the labeler for under 20. The tape is tzn201 and got it for 9 bucks. 26 feet of tape should last a long time. Nice easy to read lettering, it comes black printing on white background. Seems to hold up well but peels off easily for when I clean them out and change flavors. And really doesn't look all that bad either. Yeah it's more expensive than a sharpie, but it satisfies my ocd'ism really well

Glad it's working for you - I got a Dymo and it sucks! It doesn't stick well to ANYTHING - not bottles, not cartos . . .

I couldn't get my Brother labels to stick either, yanks, until I made the tape/label long enough to wrap slightly over onto itself. Now it stays on my carto condoms perfectly, and is easily removed if/when I need to change it.

Wow, sounds like you all have a good system going on. I wish my ADD didn't get in the way of my OCD because I really really want to be organized with all my cartos but I start it, then forget which is which and have to start over. etc etc... I hope the paint marker works. I also will try the condom cover idea. Thank you all

Thank you for this post. My problem exactly!!!!!!!

ok..had to add..since I've just started using cartos and am just a labeling geek at heart!

Got out my Excel Spreadsheet and used 8pt Arial font and made 6 columns. Typed in the name of the flavor like "24MG-USA MIX" or "24MG-Vanilla Latte" and then copied and pasted it so I had about 20 or so lines of each flavor. I also added lines on the sheet so it makes for simple cutting.

Printed that out and use a small strip of Scotch Tape to tape the label on the carto in the center so it lands between the carto caps and is easily read. Looks nice and clean and the scotch tape won't peel off like the dymo labels will.

Each label/tape job will probably last the life of the carto and I just refill with the same juice.

Hmmm.....do those nail stickers stay on a peeled carto JjuJju? I like the pretty solution best
