I constantly struggle with organization in my shop. I have a lot of boxes with drawers, but always move and misplace things. In aid of my shop woes I have found a better labeling scheme
You can buy sheets of whiteboard material that are magnetic backed. 9″x12″ sheets are less than 20 bucks They are thin and easily cuttable with a paper cutter, scissors, or a straight edge and knife.
Small drawers got small labels big drawers got big ones. They are easy to pickup, reposition, and when a drawer’s contents change, the label changes quickly too. My only issue might be wiping them off too quickly with my fingers when grabbing the drawers. A few weeks in the hot garage ought to cure the writing a bit. Time will tell if this trick helps my organization problem.
Good ideas!!! Hope it keeps it set for you to get your hands on the right tool at the right time! R

Or you could get a lable maker and glue them on the magnets. Then they would not wipe off. Or laminate the ones you made with a little clear fingernail polish.

I thought about the label maker, but that would be more permanent and I don’t have a label maker. If the wiping becomes a problem, then I will laminate with a spritz of spray lacquer.
