I use a PT brother label maker, black on clear. IF you purchase a really old model you can buy one for about 10 bucks on ebay or the such. I don't need all the gizmos on a newer model. I use the labeler all the time.

I have dried yeast in it, and I'm very happy. I think there would be wasted space with Ritz crackers and the stack might not stay neat. Plus it might not hold a full box. Why not just get one of the other Lock&Lock; and toss them in? I am a big fan of the assorted rectangular ones which come in a huge range of sizes.

I had mine for one day, the lid locked up so I ended up returning with $50 worth of food in it. I hope you have a better lock than I. Otherwise, toss it, don't waste your good money on buying a part that's half the cost of unit.

Umm, interesting! I left most of my products, cereals, crackers in their original wax type bags. For some cereals that I had placed into zip type bags, I buy what is cheap, on sale and mostly the freezer type, I just left them in those bags! I never had that issue nor did a friend of mine who also has a brisker.

No answer ... my question, too! Suppose Amazon could persuade Barry farms to list the shelf life of their most popular dried foods? (not flours) I'm trying to organize a "Just in case another hurricane hits ..." kit.

I have owned these for a year now and store sugar in one and coffee in the other. I live in the South where moisture reigns supreme. The lids have a seal around them that helps it conform to the jar. I do not get moisture in my sugar or have problems with coffee. I store my flour in the pantry. If you want something Tupperware tight then look elsewhere otherwise these work fine. The jars are bright, colorful, and beautifully painted.

I've had no problem with Zip Lock bags. I've found it useful to seal either brand while on a semi cushioned surface and rub your finger over the seal twice, once in one direction then from the other. The ONLY advantage or feature I see in the Food Saver brand I like is the square bottom of the gallon size. That to me is not worth double the price of Zip Lock.

We use it for our kids. The main portion stays locked up but the individual containers come out daily. Some of the labels have been worn off because kids are annoying but otherwise this has been one of the best purchases we've made.

There may be a use-by date but as far as I know the stuff is indestructible. We used up a bunch of wild rice not less than five years on the shelf. I should think that an air-tight container would ensure a long shelf ife

L&L; is great for my baking supplies. Easy to get into, tight seal, and easy to close. I also have snapware and they are comparable. I haven't had them long, so can't speak to the ware on them.

There are four sets of marks on the container. "Flour" marks are 100g, 200g, 300g, 400g and 500g. "Sugar" marks are 200g, 300g, 400g, 500g, and 600g. "Pint" marks are 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, 1, 1 1/4, 1 1/2. "ML" marks are 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700 and 800.

I use them on my acrylic jars that originally had them with lids with a clip. I use the rubber ones for my glass jars that have lids with clip that stores my sugar, flour, etc.

I used the small stickers on my toiletry bottles to label my shampoo and conditioner. I've used them many times and the writing has stayed in place. However, when labeling my pantry items, I was able to wipe off the writing completely with a damp cloth and write again. These labels are great. I haven't washed a container yet with the label on it, but based on my experience using my shampoo and conditioner, I would imagine they would stay in place well.

The only time I remove a label is to put another one on the container. If it doesn't peel right off I just stick a new one on top of the old one. No problem. I'm ordering my second roll of these today. Recommend them.

I've tried putting my own labels on the SIDE of these containers too, and have failed because of the slight taper, you can't get a regular square or rectangle to fit on the SIDE. I also have this question- where can you find TAPERED ice cream labels for the side, rather than just small square freezer labels for the top?

Yes, the jar is labeled. A simple clear product label that is configured to let you know if the jar's lid is being opened for the first time. The label also soaks off easily for container reuse. The jar design is strong and simple. You may find many re-uses for these beautiful tiny jars.
