Ammo Can Labelling

[Stomper]

I used individually scented lots of colorized bees wax. I can tell the rounds inside by color when in the light, or by scent in no/low-light situations, and it won't get washed off if my stash gets swamped by a rogue wave...


Not really.

clear packing tape over the tabe of a box of ammo that is now in the can.

I have a few plastic ones I regret I bought, nearly impossible to get anything to stick to them on the long term. I keep walking buy and finding the labels on the floor or barely hanging on by a corner. They do nest well though.

I keep it simple.

Not sure. Make something up.

+1 for the blue painters tape & I use the silver sharpie on that.

1 tape across the top in front, and another tape across the front, up top.

The 2 tapes are handy for in the truck, or stacked for storage.

I used to tape factory box I.D. to the top/side of my ammo boxes, but with shifting boxes I had to start using the paint markers instead! Now I include all the load info and Cal. on my boxes! I do this because I may have ( for example) 5 differing loads for .30/06 and need to be able to determine which one I want to get at! for things like .22 ammo, I use the Tupperware sandwich containers with each one labeled and then I can stack several into one ammo can and be able to access what ever I need!

Masking tape and Sharpie. If it's so old the tape has come off it's probably time to inspect it.

I use tan duct tape and a big sharpie.

The inventor of the silver sharpie should live a long and happy life!! I've found they last a lot longer if you store them tip down. Doesn't seem to matter for the other colors, but for silver it does.

There is a veritable cornucopia of options from sticker labels to magnets. How many ammo cans do you have and how much are you willing to spend?

Otherwise a Sharpie and a roll of blue painters tape goes an awful long way.

Thin sheet magnet. Cut out a box end of the ammo/caliber, and glue it to the magnet sheet with contact adhesive. Trim and stick. Done

I second the sheet magnet but, specifically, I use the variety that features dry-erase film. I write on it with permanent Sharpie so it resists smearing and I can use rubbing alcohol to remove the writing if need be. The white of the dry-erase surface catches the eye as well.

Oh I forgot. ....
For steel core ammo I use GREEN TAPE with date/Caliber.

Either .308/.556

Magnetic bin label for my metal cans and 3m Post-it tape with some clear packing tape over that for the plastic ones.

3M blue masking tape and a sharpie for all my cans.

Easy to take off and redo.
