As most of you know I love to label EVERYTHING. When it comes to buying labels you usually have 2 options. Option #1 = good quality. For good quality I usually go for Avery labels but those are expensive. Option #2 = cheap. For cheap you usually get thin labels that peel off easy. In my classroom I had a lot of use for different sizes of labels but didn't want to spend a fortune. After a lot of online searching I came across a site that sold labels at unbeatable prices. However, in my experience low prices meant low quality labels. This is site was awesome because the shipping was FREE .... yup FREE and there was no minimum purchase. You could buy 1 or 10 boxes and the shipping was free. To give you an idea of the cost savings for a box of Avery address labels you are looking about about $25 for 100 sheets. At compulabel you can get the same amount for about $14!!! The site is freeshipping.compulabel.com . If you just google complulabel the first site you come to isn't one you can order from. Most of the boxes tell you what Avery number it is compared to so when you are creating your labels in Microsoft Word you use the Avery number. Below is a sheet that I made with all the label sizes I have from compulabel and the corresponding Avery number.
I use labels all over my house and in my classroom. Here are 2 places in my pantries.
I find pictures using google images and save them to my "My Pictures" and import them when creating my labels in Microsoft Word.
When it comes to using labels you need containers to use the labels on. My favorite containers to use in my house are Sterilite drawers from walmart. You can buy them at Walmart but they don't always the variety in stock. You can buy them at walmart.com in lots of 3 to 6 depending on the size. Here are the different sizes they come in.
Above are the 5 different sizes. Prices vary by size and quantity. I use these in my pantry, under my sinks, in my closets, in my craft room, nursery... well actually EVERYWHERE!!!
