The best way to label them is with the small metal label holders that attach with small nails. Once these are on you can easily print labels that can slip into the holder. Since these boxes are so expensive i would not recommend permanently adhering a label as the contents may change in coming years.

Subject: Labels for Print/Solander Boxes?

Greetings!

I am looking for a label that will permanently adhere to a standard size
print box (solander box).  These boxes are covered with black pebble grain
book cloth.  I am told labels do not readily stick to this surface.

Does anyone have any recommendations and/or suggestions?

Thanks so much!
