I just use masking tape to label. It stays on securely unless pulled off, when pulled off it makes no sticky residue so the bottles take less work to make reusable, and it's easy to write on. It's cheap too! That's all I have but it's a zinger of a tip!
I went label-maker, watched for a good sale. My writing bites, and since I like DIY, it's important for me to label properly. (I can handle any faintly rational nic level and PG/VG, but I know others need to be more careful.)
the masking tape idea is a pretty good 1 - that would definitely ensure room for all the important stuff. good idea macho.
Credit goes to my wife on that one lol. She is an angel as she will package all of My PIF, label it, and even ship it out for me. All I need to do is take the offers and find the people who need. My handwriting is awful so after she saw the first few that I was sending out, she insisted that she take over. I'm okay with that! My own collection now has masking tape as labels if not the original label. I hate having to use goo gone to get labels off as it gets so messy and I hate the smell and feel of the stuff.
I also try not to wrap the masking tape completely around the bottle so you can get a general idea how much liquid is left in the bottle. I'm learning more every time I PIF!

I can't believe I misspelled intentionally..after proclaiming "I don't need a spellcheck"
Starting tomorrow, I'm intenionally removing all labelling from PIF bottles.
Take away his cookie
I like to use masking tape too. I put it on the bottles I keep for myself and try to send the original label with my PIF or trade.
I just use those little address labels and secure them with a little cellophane tape BUT.........
I will now put my initials and the pg/vg ratio on there, good idea!
Edit: 600 posts already?!?!?! must be due to the contests!

You can remove the sticky residue with vegetable oil, which is also good for the hands.
I use address labels and just write on them.
