T-Loc factory label removal methods?

[Scott in San Diego]

Anyone have a good method of removing the paper labels and adhesive residue from T-Loc systainers?  I have been switching around tools in different boxes and would like to know how to remove the factory labels without making a mess of it.  I'm not trying to save the labels, just trying to get them off and leave the systainer unharmed.

I am not at the shop, but I believe that the T locks are made so that a cardboard type label can be slid if front of the factory labels.

I just yank them off.  Sometimes they come off clean sometimes not..  maybe has to do with the temperature? A light pass over with a hair dryer or heat gun might help (careful if heat gun).    OOPS brand cleaner will remove the residue without affecting the plastic.. Goof Off cleaner will screw up the plastic bad.  Don't ask how I know  [embarassed]

If I were you I would test any solvent type cleaner in an inconspicuous spot before going at the front of the systainer.

Which Oops cleaner?  I see several different kinds on Amazon.

Its the Oops multi purpose remover and cleaner 

Im not 100% sure about which one it is on amazon, if i had to guess i would say it is This one  the only reason im not sure is that the container looks different from mine.

I usually pick it up in gallon cans at Sherwin Williams, This is the small can version of the one i get.

Terpentine. Only dissolves the glue of the label and does no harm to the systainer.
