The different uses of labels at home

Labels have many practical uses at home, helping with organisation and identification. Below are some common uses:

• Kitchen and food organisation: Labels are commonly used for food storage in jars and containers in the kitchen, with contents like ‘Rice’, ‘Flour’ or ‘Pasta’ to easily identify ingredients. Containers are often labelled for meal prep and freezer storage, containing date cooked and date of expiry which helps keep track of the freshness.
• School and home office supplies: Label file folders and boxes to archive important documents, bills, receipts and other paperwork for quick access. Using labels for children’s school supplies can help ensure that if they go missing they can be returned to the owner easily.
• Decluttering and identifying miscellaneous items: Ever find a random cable in a drawer and wonder what it’s for? Use labels on various cords and cables, eg. ‘Laptop Charger’, ‘Printer Cable’, to avoid confusion. Labelling boxes with seasonal items ‘Winter Clothes’, ‘Christmas Decorations’ to make retrieval easier during specific times of the year.
