Labels for plastic containers in freezer

So where do you buy these things? I'm fed up with not knowing what the box in the freezer contains. I see lakeland has these freezeasy labels with very good reviews. But the shipping is very expensive for something worth only £2.50.

I use a permanent marker pen and scrub it off with a scourer when I change the contents.

I use normal sticky labels from the stationers. So long as the tubs are dry when I stick then on they stay on.

I have some from
JoJoMamanBebe which stay on in the freezer and then come off easily when you wash them.

I use clear sticky tape on the lid and write on it with a permanent marker. Just peel the tape off when you are done.

I also really like the jojomamanbebe ones. I don't like the sticky mess that's left with ordinary labels. TBH though, I often freeze meals in freezer bags and write on the panel (sorry, not very environmentally friendly).

I use dry wipe marker pens on the plastic, it washes off.

I use masking tape....

I use pens designed to write on CD/DVDs I bought from the pound shop a few years ago. Work a treat.

Did you know that if you peel the label off as soon as you take the container from the freezer it doesn't leave any residue? Don't ask me why but it does work!

ZenGardener · 15/06/2013 05:54

I use a marker too.

I have a very low tech system but it works. I use a sliver of paper under Sellotape on used takeaway containers.
