Gem jar labels - anyone buy them and which ones are your favorites?

Someone here uses a 1 inch paper hole punch to cut out printed specifications. I have a standard labeling machine that uses labeling tape.

I asked in a few stationary shops for the elusive 'one inch hole punch', and the assistants just looked at me like I was crazy!

You can buy stickers that fit onto the bottom of the pot exactly, though that depends which ones you're using. This is what I used to do, but my handwriting is terrible and sometimes the pen would smudge, so now I type the stats in a square grid, print on thick paper and put in the bottom of the pot.

I think the 1" punch is more of a craft/scrapbooking tool, so you might have luck at a big box crafting or art supply store.

I bought these stickers for something else but they might be useful for labeling gem boxes as well: http://www.cutetape.com/shop/1halfinch-circle-kraft-label-stickers.html


ETA: I guess the stickers wouldn't work for printing necessarily, but they will stick easily at least

Stickers cut to size. To prevent smudging, use an extra fine permanent marker.

Cute tape has some kind of fun things over there ! Thanks.

I just realized I can use the adhesive shipping labels I bought & print it out on the printer in small font (I don't love my small handwriting much), maybe.

I bought a 1" punch from here. The one they were selling a year ago was only $8 though.

I don't label my gems jars, however, if I chose to, I would order one sheet of these 1" removable labels that you can print on your computer. It would probably only be of interest to those who have a lot of stones, but it looks like a fun idea to me. You can get removable or permanents labels.

You can order one sheet of removable labels (68 labels) for $4.16 + $4.95 shipping, BUT, you can get 10 sheets for $9.77 and the shipping is still $4.95 (you have to put in your zip so it could be more to different locations).

My gems are currently listed on an excel workbook because I like to keep as much info on them as I can, and I just number them on the sheet according to where they are located in the gembox, BUT if I was going to keep a large number of stones in a collection, I think these circles would be a great investment.
