Easy Systainer Labels

[Packard]

Take heed! The adhesive is insanely difficult to remove from those vinyl drafting table covers.

3M does market a solvent for that. I would not know where to find it though. Leaving vegetable oil on the surface overnight will allow you to remove the adhesive with soapy water. But the oil will be runnny. Mayonnaise is about 80% vegetable oil and does not run, and is a viable choice.

But, yes (and I mentioned it in my post) the 3M adhesive transfer tape will be difficult to clean off.

I'll try to touch on many of the points described here with an example of what I use to label Systainers.
The white, printable PVC cards that fit the Systainers are nominally 86mm x 54mm. The matte Festool label covers, 497855, are labeled as 85mm x 55mm, yet when measured with a dial caliper they are actually 86mm x 54mm go figure?
I use Bodno white PVC cards purchased on Amazon. Photo 1
I use Online Labels OL5030WJ white, matte, weather proof labels for an inkjet printer. https://www.onlinelabels.com/templates/blank/ol5030
Online Labels offer 6 different templates to aid in designing the labels. I prefer to use Maestro Label Designer.
Each label is designed separately and can then be added to the template for printing. I'll usually print 8 labels (1 sheet) at a time. Each label is scored on 4 sides for easy removal. Photos 2 - 4.

These labels can be removed in 1-piece from the PVC card or from the Systainer. If any adhesive remains, it can be removed with a quick wipe of Goo Gone on a paper towel.
