Ammo-Box; Labeling hack that maybe of help to you

Plastic ammo boxes have a “Textured Surface” .. These vary, but use standard moulding techniques. This textured surface can be difficult to get standard labels to adhere, even after degreasing / cleaning the plastic surfaces.  I do prefer the newer plastic cans over the original metal cans.

Standard Avery labels just don’t stick, see below. … I have these on hand.I also have this Shurtape AF 100, UL 181A-P/B-FX Listed aluminum foil HVAC tape. Appling a section of AF 100 tape to the ammo box, an Avery label will adhere to the aluminum surface of the AF 100 tape. This is about an 85% solution, so for now problem solved, easy to replace when I acquire more VHB tape, 3M VHB Tape (Very High Bond) . Update mid-next week with new graphics labels for all the cans.

Labeling the ammo cans …. Update with purpose designed label stack-up using a material that will adhere to the plastic textured plastic ammo cans.

 

Made up sets of: 3 1/2” x 2” and 4” x 2” “Sub-Labels”, VHB tape with 2.06” wide white drywall tape. This shall act as generic box labels, ammo specific labels shall be applied to the white tape.
