[Nfb-krafters-korner] ot penfriend

[Annette Carr]

The Pen Friend can read its labels through "Scotch" tape and packing tape.  You have to make sure that it is the clear packing tape, and not the brown stuff.

I use old business cards and punch a hole similar to  others..  It’s just that business cards are free! 
For the freezer I put the card with pen friend label in a samwich type bag to protect it from icky sticky things that sometimes leak in a freezer.  The pen friend will read the label through the plastic. 
Good to share ideas.
