XXL sustainers

Switching the color of the latches for $12 on a regular Systainer is a hard pill to swallow, but definitely makes things more quickly identifiable; for $24 to do two of them on a $110 item is even worse.

Spray primer and spray paint my friend =-)

If you have to purpose-buy the pain, it will run about the same  [tongue]

Makes me think about that time I spend 20 bucks on a used CRT and more on primer and paint to spray it black. It died a year later. Although it really looked good that year.

May I ask how you did your labels?

True i guess; but it's only about what, 20 minutes of your time, and i did a bunch at once, and did other stuff in between coats.

Also, latches don't break down =-)

I used Avery.com

They have all the templates right there on the website; you can create an account for free, and it saves them there for ya.

I'm going to switch to using template 5163 with the sticky shipping labels; i did my original as slide in, and the fall out all the dang time.
https://www.amazon.com/Avery-Shipping-Printers-Permanent-TrueBlock/dp/B00004Z5SB

I'll post back as to how it goes with those labels; same ones we use on our X-Mas cards.

If interested in the Avery path, let me know, and i'll see if there is a way to export the labels and share.

I usually have a little silicone caulk around so I put a tiny dab of it at the top of the sliding plastic bit or oak tag to hold it in place. It still pulls out but doesn't fall out once put in place.
