How To Make Ammo Can Labels

[@TopCat2021]

Another idea for magnetic tape is old refrigerator/freezer door gaskets usually they contain a strip 3/8" to maybe 1/2" wide and go all the way around the door. The strips are easy to remove leaving the remainder of the gasket in place and have a ton of uses. Oh almost forgot Thanks for sharing the video.

[@PewPewPark]

That is an interesting and innovative idea. Good way to reuse components to something that could be broken and to be junked anyways. Thanks for sharing!

Great way to create re-usable labels. Thanks for the post.

[@PewPewPark]

Glad you found it useful. Thanks for the kind words.

[@paulbarela6548]

Hell ya that helped I don't have to open 20+ ammo cans. I had to keep updating my sticky's. And they would fall off. Now I can just make magnetic id and a number magnet to show quantity.

[@PewPewPark]

Glad this video helped you.

[@scottpatterson6863]

Easiest way to do it is with a chalk marker can keep a tally with it to just rub off old number every time you add ammo

[@PewPewPark]

Pretty smart way to keep track of ammo amounts. Pretty sure you can buy blackboard labels pretty cheap if you have the plastic ammo cans and not the metal ones

[@scottpatterson6863]

@@PewPewPark haven't thought on that mine are metal the chalk works great I started out with a magic marker works ok but the chalk is easyer to get off

[@PewPewPark]

Have you ever had issues with accidently smudging the chalk?

[@scottpatterson6863]

@@PewPewPark never had a problem and the metal cans full of ammo make a safe hard to walk away with

[@corwinchristensen260]

A problem with magnets is that if they get placed next to another, the magnets can stick to each other better than the can. You end up with two stacked magnets on one can and nothing on the other. Mitigate by placing on hinge side near hinge, sides just below lid, or below/behind the latch handle.

[@PewPewPark]

I personally haven't had such issues, but those are very good suggestions for anyone who has.

[@michaelbelmont1073]

Good easy idea, thanks!!

[@Canjo45]

I remember as a kid my parents had all kinds of those old refrigerator magnets from pizza places restaurants and businesses haha don’t really see them anymore

[@PewPewPark]

I remember those well. Made use of the pizza place ones a lot. Lol

[@Canjo45]

@@PewPewPark those were some good times just like being able to walk into the movie store and rent a movie then order a pizza

[@martinnelson7511]

Love this method...lol. Great idea, for easy making multi use, changab!e labels for ammo storage. What size and font are you using? It looks like at least an inch high.

[@PewPewPark]

Thanks. I was using a font I found online called "Black Ops One" and size varied form 54 to 44 (depending on how much info I used so it would fit on the from flap.) I do wish I used slightly thicker magnet sheets though. The thinner they are the weaker the magnet. They can slide a bit, but I've yet to have one come off the ammo can.

[@vazz22]

Great Tip!

[@anmichall]

Way better then no markings and trying to remember (my mind is failing) thank you

[@PewPewPark]

My memory isnt very great most of the time either.

[@ascott6804]

Nice new sub!!

[@PewPewPark]

Thank you. Welcome!

[@squatchie44]

Have you ever tried to attach the paper to the magnet first, and then cut both the paper and magnet at the same time?

[@PewPewPark]

I'm thinking of remaking my labels with a thicker magnet for more sticking strength & that is actually a good idea. Thanks!

[@paulbarela6548]

Quantity as in box's and cases.

[@sevenwonders1717]

That's an Awesome idea Syco! But, your OCD isn't as bad as you think... I would have to measure everything, and clean the Ammo Can with rubbing alcohol. 😂

[@PewPewPark]

lol No, I know it's not that bad. I did throw one of my .223 magnets away because I tried to put the label on the magnet sheet before cutting it out with the straight cutting tool & the paper got scraped off a little. Ruined the aesthetics too much and couldn't accept it.

[@sevenwonders1717]

@@PewPewPark I'm right there with you Brother! Lol 😜

[@PewPewPark]

Just posted on my Instagram how insignificant the little defect was. I couldn't let it go though. Haha

[@vanessakitty8867]

Fun stuff. TY.

[@PewPewPark]

Thanks. 👍🏼

[@Portuguese-linguica]

I would do this but all of my ammo cans get tossed around or stuff dropped on them . So I need a more permanent way . What I did to allow this was take apart hhd's from old cpu's and used there magnets .

[@PewPewPark]

Ya in cases like that making stickers would or using tape/marker would be better.

[@Portuguese-linguica]

@@PewPewPark yes it would but I had hdd's up the wazo at the time .

[@PewPewPark]

Yes stronger magnets would be better too

[@andrewfaulkner3404]

Good idea

[@PewPewPark]

Thanks.

[@Squib1911]

I use a P-Touch label maker.

[@PewPewPark]

I was thinking of that toon but most of the labels were too small for what I wanted and where more of an investment than just the magnet sheets (as I got a printer I rarely use already.)

syco316 Well. Like the old saying says. Some fingers are better than no fingers. Wait. Wtf? Lmao

[@PatriotInTheDark]

That’s a pretty good idea. You can also do this with all your pro 2A stickers from #GearWebsites Then you can stick them to your safe etc.

[@PewPewPark]

Yes that is very true. Can easily turn stickers into multi use magnets. I wish I thought of that before putting all those stickers on my gun cabinet. lol I'd love to have been able to reorganize them for sure!👍🏼

[@PewPewPark]

I'm not sure I have the materials anymore. I'd have to go digging into my boxes of crap lol

[@nyoutcast3789]

Not bad but yes a little OCD. 😏

[@PewPewPark]

Lol

[@reiniergarcia]

My ammo boxes are plastic, so...

[@PewPewPark]

Yep, magnet labels won't work on plastic. However they do make blackboard and dry erase labels that will work with plastic ammo boxes. That way you can use chalk or dry erase markers.
