Stencils for ammo can's

[gdnagle]

My Son bought me a "brothers" hand held label maker. got letters and numbers. I got all my empty coffee cans labeled by cal, loaded or empty; and bullet size and type.

find them on Amazon for less then $20 sometimes and you can get different color and size tape. Self sticking and if it starts to come off you can just wrap it with clear packing tape and there forever almost. Plus you can use it to label anything works good for me..

How about .... wordpad already on your pc, your printer, and an xacto knife.
Add a misting of 3m 77 spray for a temporary adhesive, and you have a custom stencil to fit any need, be it ammo can or lettering on your car.

How about a 3D plastic printer to build custom labeled boxes to encapsulate your boxes? Prices are coming down.

On Fleabay last month I came across a listing for "Reloading bench storage containers, Universal". Yep, it was three coffee cans and the bid was around $8 plus shipping.

A roll of white duct tape and a black Sharpie pen solved my labeling of ammo cans. I can now grab the correct caliber of ammunition without having to open the can first!

You left off the part about unstacking the 4 cans above the one you want, and its always on the bottom. If anyone can figure out a way for the one you need to rise to the top, I'd be indebted to them, as I'm sure others would. The problem is more than just finding the right one.

I bought an Epson Label Printer. You can get different color tapes or clear tapes. It can print different fonts and different size letters. Not as large as a stencil.

Same here (mine is a Brother). Casio also makes them. Several price levels and feature levels to choose from The advantage is that the labels are easy to change when the can's mission changes . . .

I think defense distributed has a pre made draft for your printing pleasure.
I have thought about a 3d for various things to include plastic templates and stencils.
these things run at a snails pace, so that has to be taken into account as well.

I use one of these.

Neat, clean looking, and easy to use.

I used those rubbery fridge magnets (like the real estate guys leave on your door), and adhesive numbers from Home Depot.

Cut to fit, total cost 1.98 ea.
