tiggerlady Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 I know that many Omleteers have lock and lock systems in their cupboards and freezers,but do you label them and if so how? I have a few with home made labels on but if i re-do my cupboards I would prefer to have proper labels on them 'cos I can tell the difference betweeb salt and caster sugar but OH can't!! Also..any suggestions what to do with redundant Tupperware?? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 I write on the base of them with a Sharpie. So if I have pasta that takes 12 mins to cook, I write that on, then I can wipe it off if I refill it with a different type that cooks quicker,for example. I don't like to see writing or labels on the outside of the Lock & Locks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoid Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 A whiteboard marker would work well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chickencam Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 What is a sharpie? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janty Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 It's a permanent marker. They are quite chunky but still usable as a writing tool as they have a rounded tip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 Thanks for that Sounds like I could do with one for writing addresses on ebay packages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janty Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 They are really useful for lots of things like marking school uniform, freezer bags, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
