Well I've tried some of the suggestions to be able to glue some computer
generated labels on some plastic parts bins. I sanded the plastic
carefully, cleaned it with acetone and applied an Avery sticky label.
No joy. Label nearly falls off. Seems kinda crazy that Global sells these
things with a surface obviously designed for some label and then can't tell
you what adhesive or label to use.

Still trying some of the other suggestions.
Dang....

Get something intended to stick to polyethylene. Nothing else will work. I
have such labels, bought from a scientific supply house. These labels have not
fallen off of anything yet.

If they're new, they'll have a recycling symbol with the plastic type
on it, what's the number?(so I don't buy the same!)

I've had good luck with a piece of clear
packing tape. Overlap about 1/4" all around.

On polyethylene or polypropylene (you say acetone doesn't dissolve
it),
the cheapest kind of hotmelt glue works well. Put a dab on the
paper and press on firmly... no need to heat up the bin.
