I think you're right about that.

That's why I went with the sewing elastic. It lets me make use of dymo tape
that has lost its stick but can still be brailled on; I just make the label
and don't peel off the backing.
Then there's that I always seem to run out of stuff in the middle of a
project, and Ben Franklin and Office Depot are a lot closer than blind
specialty sites, though I do appreciate the sites. I'm just a little bit too
distractable, so if I'm in the middle of an organize-the-kitchen-and-pantry
fit, I'd better take advantage of that energy while it's there; having to
wait for two weeks for Free Matter breaks my stride, and who knows when I'll
get that kind of energy again?
More Later,
Dani
P.S. Amazon sells the elastic in a big roll. I'm good to go for at least a
year.

The elastics that comes with the plastic labels is better than rubber
bands.
However, I really like this suggestion, because you can make whatever
length you need. Definitely trying this.

Hi, Mary.
Get some sewing elastic and a hole punch. Make your labels using the
Dymo tape you have, and punch a hole at each end. Tie elastic in a
loop to fit your bag, and you're good to go. It's this cheapskate's
way of dealing with Braille in the freezer or fridge where condensation
could be a problem.
I like the sewing elastic because it holds up well and doesn't get
sticky and melt on you when it gets old, the way rubber bands do.
HTH,
Dani

Blind Mice Mart has labels. They are plastic strips with a whole in
each end. They have elastics to attach. Seed packets sound small,
but, it might work.

Does anybody have a way to label things that are in plastic bags kept
in the freezer or refrigerator? Dymo tape does not work.
I have lots of seeds for my sprouts and microgreens, and I am
starting to have trouble keeping track of them. But labeling things
in the freezer is not exactly a new problem. Any ideas would be
appreciated.
Thanks.
