Need freezer-safe vial labels for handwritten use

[DS36]

Trying to get my stock in better order — does anyone know of vial labels that survive the freezer? I want a simple kind I can write on by hand.

A4 label sheets that go through an inkjet printer have worked for me — after 2 or 3 months in both the freezer and the fridge, they still hold on. The ones I use are "SmithPackaging A4 Self Adhesive Address Labels," though I imagine most brands are basically equivalent. A sheet with 80 labels felt like a sensible size.

I realize this isn't quite the answer you were after, but here's what I rely on for labeling my vials, my freezer storage cases, and my refillable pens. They're fairly basic, yet they perform really well. My freezer runs at -40, and these stay adhered without issue, provided you apply them prior to freezing, since frost will stop them from sticking afterward.

Got it. For the 3mL bottles, which size did you pick?

I came across those too. Worth giving them a shot?

No. They work well for me. Compared to a professional label they're quite basic, yet they do what I need and won't break the bank.

They've already shipped. I ordered them from Amazon before, right after you answered.
