I homebrew beer, and I get my bottles by de-labeling stuff I buy. However, I tend to forget what state they’re in so I designed my own label holder with slide in labels. Cardboard boxes hold bottles well, but they’re not see thru. Now I know! STL: https://www.printables.com/model/562504-hanging-sign-clips
I would just keep a bucket of oxiclean and throw bottles in there as they are emptied. By the time I get around to emptying the bucket most of the labels had floated off and the bottles were mostly clean.
De label them as you go? Not a bad idea.
Ive tried oxi clean and it works but it destroys my hands and needs rinsing off. I like baking soda. It’s weaker and gets consumed faster but it’s easier on my hands and cheap.
Never heard of baking soda has an option. Thanks for the tip.
When you are a hammer, everything looks like a nail.
Using a pen directly on the box or on a piece of tape was no option? Don’t get me wrong, I like it and am lacking the creativity to do such things. But it does seem overly complicated.
This let’s him change the label. From ready to need more to whatever. Tape gets used up which is wasteful. Market directly on box gets ugly and unreadable very quick.
This is like a bigger more readable reusable label like you find on filling cabinet folders.
Valid question. As others have said, it’s for change ability. I do write in sharpie on the box for the box capacity and contents. However, I have 3 or 4 of these boxes and I swap around the stuff in them a lot. It’s always bottles but sometimes the box is full, sometimes not. Some bottles are ready, some need de labeling. This way I know at a glance what the status of my inventory is.
Very nice ! How did you make them?
