Mine -

For several years now, I've been buying these great clear
multi-compartment storage boxes at ACMoore to keep my beads in. When I
first started using them as my storage solution, they were perfect - and
still are in many ways. Recently, however, they started putting a sticker
on the top of each box. A STICKER on a CLEAR box! Can anyone tell me
why? I mean, it costs money for the adhesive for the sticker and there is
definitely no need for it. They used to put a plain label under the
cellophane cover. That worked great cause all I had to do is peel away
the cellophane and throw it and the label away. Now, they put stickers on
the top. Does this make any sense?? I mean the reason we buy CLEAR boxes
is because we want to see whats inside the box - right?

I just spent an hour and untold amounts of lighter fluid cleaning these
pesky labels off the top... Yeah, it would be easier to just buy a
different box, but when you set up your bead storage with a certain kind
of container, you want to continue to use that same container.... UUGH!!
Whats with the sticky labels??

Sterling

aah! That was gonna be my next question: What everyone uses to get sticker adhesive off plastic
and glass containers. Thanks for the info.

Thanks from me too (I don't have a dish washer to put it through like
Melinda does, my dish washer's name is Maren).

Eucalyptus oil is good too, but I'm not sure if it's entirely
safe to use on plastic.

Rubbing alcohol can get some stickers off once you get the paper off, or
as much as you can.
