Labeling the Mason Jars

[dongreyface]

So I'm about to cellar most of my tobacco by using mason jars, but I was wondering, how does everyone here label their jars? Is it better to use labels then write on them the type of tobacco, or is there a marker of some sorts out there that will clearly write on the jar itself and can be wiped off when the jar is empty, but not too easy to wipe off before I want it to? What is the best method you have found?

I use self stick labels,and write on them.I put the date as well so I know how old the tobacco is.

I've been using dry erase markers.

I cut the label off the package (unless in a tin) and glue it to the jar..

I have a sheet in my cellar spreadsheet set up for labels.

Name and date it's jarred, small label for the lid, larger for the side.

Cut em out and cellophane tape to hold em on.

While inelegant, painter's tape and a Sharpie are what I use. The tape is super easy to take off when the jar is empty without leaving a residue and it stays in put better than a dry erase marker.

I have a Brother Label Maker.

Here's the one I got for Christmas and spent all last weekend using on my mason jars.

I remove the label decal and stick it to the mason jar. Otherwise I either use a sticky label or just write on the lid.

 

[brewshooter]

Yeah, I just use a piece of masking tape on the lid and write on it with a pen.

painter's tape and a Sharpie

+1 , or regular white labels and sharpie. Tobacco name, seller and date. I then have a separate list that has blend info such as tobacco in the blend and my notes.

Tape and a Sharpie. That simple in my world.

 

[wolfscout]

works for me.

 

[spyder71]

I count as the tape and sharpie sort. Brand, blend, and date.

I use yellow stickies. They all came of when we were moving which meant hours of fun trying to figure out what tobacco is in what jar. :lol:

I write on the mason jar lids the date and the type of blend if it is to be put back in storage. Jars that I use for my rotations I label with the label maker. ::

Brother made labels on my primary blends with a small piece of masking tape on top with the date/ounces bought on top. I use the medium and large glass jars from Micheals. The large holds 6 oz and the medium 3-4 ounces. I've learned jars must be wide enough to get my hands in. (Mason jars are typically too small)

I write on the lids of my baccy storage.

Avery labels on my computer. They never peel, I can put all kinds of info on them, don't fade and I can read them, which my handwriting you cannot.
