A Convenient Option: Removable Labels

It’s not uncommon to want to label something in your home, office or warehouse that you might later want to remove. This is a common occurrence on filing cabinets and storage. Unfortunately, with many labels, if you remove them you are left with a sticky adhesive left behind, or even worse, pieces of town label that don’t come off easily.

In situations where you don’t want to permanently label objects and files, removable labels make the most sense.

Removable labels give you the flexibility to mark your files, products and equipment for tracking and identification purposes. Contrary to what you might believe, removable labels are priced economically and can be easily printed on your Dymo printer. The labels can be peeled away to leave behind no marks, paper residue or adhesive behind.

However, in addition to the more traditional uses, removable labels can come in handy for many other projects and are useful to keep stored in your bag or briefcase. In the home, temporary labeling of office files, important books, and storage boxes or bins are just a few ways in which removable labels can come in handy.

Organize your Home

Everyone knows that the New Year is a great time to remake yourself with those New Year’s Resolutions, getting your life a little more in order. However, the New Year is also a great time to get the environment around you in order. Not only will getting your home in order maximize efficiency in other areas of your life, it will it will make you feel structured and organized to start the year off right.

Kitchen

Store your mixing bowls, knives, and cutting boards where you use them. Place the small appliances you use regularly on the counter, ones used on occasion in a convenient cabinet or on a convenient shelf, and items used rarely on a deep lower shelf. Take an inventory of everything you own and rid your kitchen of duplicates, damaged items and things you no longer use. Use drawer dividers to arrange utensils and Lazy Susans for organizing spices.

Bathroom

Group together like items in plastic bins or washable bags and throw out old cosmetics and skin care products. Store small items like hair accessories, nail polish and brushes in easily accessible plastic bins with easy-to-read removable labels, making it easy to change the label in the future if necessary.

Closets

Organized closets will make busy mornings easier and, quite frankly, make your life and home feel a lot less cluttered. Use adjustable shelves so you can change the arrangement of the closet as your needs change. Install shelves or cubbies at the base of the closet. Install shelves up to the ceiling to store items you don’t use often. Keep small items in bins, baskets and boxes to minimize clutter. Reassess your closet every six months for any changes that need to be made.

Linen Closet

Store sheet sets together in one pillowcase.

Utility closet

Keep cleaning supplies in a bucket or bin so you can carry them from room to room easily. Keep long handled brooms off the floor.

Laundry room

Arrange items according to how you use them. Anything you need regularly should be easily accessible. Sort items by whites, colors and delicates in different bins or rolling carts.  Use a drying rack for delicate items.

Office

Manage your office paperwork by keeping four separate organizers for personal correspondence, bills, catalogs and papers to file. Use accordion files to easily find paperwork.

Top Five Packing Tips for College Students

With summer about to come to an end, you may be about to head back to college for the fall. Use these five tips to make the daunting task of packing your things a bit easier this fall.

1. Create a detailed shopping list. Make sure you coordinate with your roommate about what items you will be bringing with you. Create a detailed list of all the items that you will need to purchase before you move in…don’t wait until the last minute!
2. Bins. The large plastic storage bins will be extremely invaluable to you this fall. After you have unpacked, clear plastic bins can be great for storage under your bed, since space is often very limited in dormitories. Label each bin with Zebra removable labels so you can locate your stored items quickly and easily later.
3. Keep clothing on hangers. You will waste a lot of time in removing clothes from hangers, only to replace them later. Instead, leave your clothes on their hangers and place a garbage bag over them, poking a hole at the top to slip the hangers through. Tie the bottom of the bag to protect clothes that might fall off their hangers during transport.
4. Hang on to packaging. Keep the boxes and packaging for any electronics you are taking with you, as it will make it easier to safely transport those items home at the end of the year.
5. Consider other items you might need. There are a number of items you may want but not think to bring, such as an area rug, a fan, artwork, a bulletin board, or a tool kid. Try to think of everything you may need to make your room a cozy, comfortable place to live… and be prepared to run to the store when you’re moved in.

Five Reasons You Should Use Labels in Your Office

If you're me, few things are worse than having an office space in disarray. It is difficult to find what you need, nothing has a "place" and the lack of order drives me to madness. However, all of this can be easily changed with the use of labels. Here, we have provided 5 reasons why you should use labels in your office.

1. Appearance. Okay, let's face it, appearance does matter. Labeling gives your office a professional appearance and reflects order - definitely something you want in your business.

2. Who belongs to this stapler? Labeling takes away the guess work of which office accessory goes to which employee.

3. Cuts back on wasted time. It may sound silly, but labeling can, and does, cut down on time wasted searching for what is in drawers or cabinets, especially for new employees who may be less familiar with your filing system. To ensure that your employees are using their time most efficiently, put a filing system in place and label your cabinets and drawers.

4. Easier file searching. Few things are more frustrating than being unable to locate files. However, with a structured filing system and labels, searching for files becomes a breeze.

5. Maintains order. With a labeling system in place that clearly defines which items go where, employees will never again have to wonder where to return items to after use.

A Dymo Compatible Label Everyone Can Get Behind

The Dymo Compatible LV-30331 Removable Label looks like a Dymo label, prints just like a Dymo label, but costs about half as much. I know what you’re thinking: “Sure it’s affordable, that’s because they use cheap materials to manufacture it. I bet you anything that label will peel off faster than you can say ‘stick’.” You would be quite wrong my friend. LabelValue.com brand removable labels are made with high quality adhesives and only the best face stocks available on the market. They are still re-positionable, meaning if you don’t like where you put the label the first time, you can peel it off and press it down again and it would stick just as well, assuming the surface is smooth enough. When it’s time to take the label off, it lifts away with no residue left behind, making this great for warehouses and retail environments where inventory changes frequently.
