Where do you guys get the stickers you put on your bags or boxes that you store your bullets in?
Yes I could make my own, but some of the used boxes I recently bought had some stickers on them, and well, just looked more organized to me.
TIA
 
I don't put stickers on the box, I write the info on a Post it note, fold it and put it in the box. Reusable and I don't have to sort boxes when I load another batch. Besides, their cheaper, and I'm all about cheap...

I do the same with painters tape.

Match loads being the exception since they're always the same and I've used the same for specific rifles. Those boxes have the stickers that come in the Berger bullet boxes.
 
Stop using stickers on boxes as they get reloaded over and over and combinations change. Just cut a piece of paper and jot down info and stick in box/ammo can.

I assume you meant labels for loaded rounds. Unless you cast your own lead bullets, the bullets should come well labeled. If you do cast, I assume the labels would also work for containers of bullets.

I have labeled loads in several ways but finally settled on two. If I am using a plastic box, the data go on the outside with a felt tip pen and on the inside written on 1/3 of a 3 by 5 card. If I am using a baggie, the same piece of 3 by 5 goes into the bag, and the data are written on the bag with a felt tip.

edit: The felt tip writing on plastic ammo boxes can be removed easily with lighter fluid so different data can be recorded the next time the box is used.

I ran out of the commercial labels the other day. All my brass (in separate 50 round boxes) is sorted by firearm and load, number of times loaded, and my loads rarely ever change. I'm waiting for something to buy online so I can add some labels to the order. I guess I could just put the info on a card and stick it in the box and just label the outside with the name of the firearm...,Susan, Amy, Lori, Sherry, Pam, Linda, Becky, Kellie, Patti, Tracy, Nell, Lynne,...
 
I bought the generic white boxes with styrofoam trays from Midway, and a box of return address labels from who knows where (Amazon, Walmart, ??). The template is in my printer, so I can print off one or a full sheet, whatever I need. Here are the first couple examples:

I wish that was the case...

I just got started in reloading earlier this year, and bought coated bullets from a handful of companies. Unfortunately, about half of them came in plastic bags with nothing written on them. I came up with my own labels using logos/info off their websites. I'll post some pics later (in the "what did you do" thread)...as I finally finished organizing them this week.

I can make you any kind of sticker you want, just PM if interested.
 
I just use a couple sizes of Avery labels from the Walmarts.
I use a 2"x4" shipping label for loads I'm working, and a 1.5"x2.75" address labels for storage.
Once you create your label save it, then just open it and plug in new info. If you want waterproof labels just put a strip of clear packing tape over it.
I reuse powder containers for long term storage too. I ain't cheap, but I don't hate money either.
