Idea Exchange: Preserve labels with packing tape

Article

Clear tape helps prevent smearing and label removal on prescription bottles.

To keep prescription labels from fading or smearing, we cover every label with clear packing tape. I have had pet owners bring in medication prescribed by other veterinarians, and the labels are so worn off or smeared that we can't read them! Covering labels with packing tape helps prevent those problems.
