<div dir="ltr">I did not want to buy a printing setup, so I ordered pre-printed labels from <a href="https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.barcode-2Dlabels.com_&d=AwMFaQ&c=-dg2m7zWuuDZ0MUcV7Sdqw&r=CLFZJ3fvGSmDp7xK1dNZfh6uGV_h-8NVlo3fXNoRNzI&m=cD2Ssxz7ORlItWkpPzy-uWXS3g3NGim8ZF8MX8Hk8Rc&s=kbgPNlEyBmy9Td07KmqYS2NrIXylklU3gPk4Tohvhrc&e=">Electronic Imaging Materials</a>. They sent me a packet of different types of "paper" with various printing technology and backing glues. I tested them for freezing (-80), alcohol (100% EtOH), and both on glass slides, glass and plastic vials, wooden collection cases. Some failed (lost their printing or failed to remain stuck on the surface). I went with their "626075025 XyResist® Labels, Chemical-Resistant Adhesive, Printed Black 600 dpi" it they seem to be working great (time will tell). Try searching for "Cryo labels" - I imagine lots of companies can provide these services. BUT DEFINITELY TEST BEFORE BUYING.<br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br clear="all"><div><div class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><font size="1">------------------------------------------------------------<br>Dr. Peter T Oboyski<br>Collections Manager & Curatorial Supervisor<br>Essig Museum of Entomology<br>1170 Valley Life Science Building<br>University of California, Berkeley<br><br>mailing address:<br>1101 VLSB, #4780<br>Berkeley, CA 94720<br><br><a href="https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__nature.berkeley.edu_-257Epoboyski_&d=AwMFaQ&c=-dg2m7zWuuDZ0MUcV7Sdqw&r=CLFZJ3fvGSmDp7xK1dNZfh6uGV_h-8NVlo3fXNoRNzI&m=cD2Ssxz7ORlItWkpPzy-uWXS3g3NGim8ZF8MX8Hk8Rc&s=mfxRyR17SkI1z9tXATctQxoWtD8t0MMVOVdRywmoivA&e=" target="_blank">http://nature.berkeley.edu/~poboyski/</a><br><a href="https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__essig.berkeley.edu&d=AwMFaQ&c=-dg2m7zWuuDZ0MUcV7Sdqw&r=CLFZJ3fvGSmDp7xK1dNZfh6uGV_h-8NVlo3fXNoRNzI&m=cD2Ssxz7ORlItWkpPzy-uWXS3g3NGim8ZF8MX8Hk8Rc&s=orv7L4DXJer6zDCVSdH5sSEcvXkorE84CqTMZNOUdbg&e=" target="_blank">http://essig.berkeley.edu</a><br><br><a href="mailto:essig.museum@gmail.com" target="_blank">essig.museum@gmail.com</a><br>510.643.0804 (work phone)<br>510.847.0360 (cell phone)<br>--------------------------------------------------------------</font><br></div></div></div></div></div>

collections? The labels are unaffected by alcohol or formalin and do not yellow, brittle or fade over time and also do not leach anything into the fluid. We have been using them for 10+ years and have been very happy.</span><u></u><u></u></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">We are starting work on rehousing our entire alcohol-preserved mollusk collection, comprising about 50,000 bottles. For many years we have used medical tape to label jars and lids, writing on it with sharpies. This works pretty well, as
the tape stays stuck to glass or plastic for over 40 years. However, for the next round of rehousing I’d prefer to use pre-cut labels for the sake of neatness and speed.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Does anyone know of a suitable label? It can be cloth or paper, and should ideally be available in various sizes and shapes. I’m especially keen on finding a good circular label for the caps of regular 4- and 6-dram screw-top vials.
