Kraft Tape

[Carl Meyer]

Greg:  I had that problem.  I use cardboard bin boxes for parts, hardware, etc storage.  They are available from Grainger, and others.  Gillis and Laine in Redwood city, California have a different brand that I like.

I learned that most gummed tape deteriates in a few months.  I used to use 2 inch water activated tape but I can't find it anymore.  

I did find three inch wide paper tape at a packaging store.  Since I need 2 inch I sliced it with a razor blade and pulled it thru a fixture and rolled it up on a tin can attached to a low speed motor.  "Shows how carried away I get"  I put this tape on the front of these bin boxes an label them.  If I need to change the boxes I just put another piece of tape over the old one.  This tape is opaque and then I can relabel.  

The boxes that are foldable come in bundles of 25. This company has all kinds of boxes in all kind of sizes.
