Very Useful for Organization

Nadia A., United States
"These labels are perfect for keeping track of opened items and expiration dates. I use them for both food and medical supplies, and they make it so easy to stay organized and avoid confusion. The stickers stick well and are easy to write on. Highly recommend for anyone who wants a simple way to track dates!"

Bright, Handy Date Labels with One Important Trade-Off

The Distilled Truth, United States
"Concise Review (detailed review follows below):

These fluorescent orange opened and expiration date labels are highly visible, well-made, and extremely useful for keeping track of product lifespan in the kitchen and bathroom. The dispenser box is convenient and keeps the labels clean and organized, and the adhesive is strong and permanent. While the small writing area can feel a bit tight and the labels are not removable once applied, the generous quantity and overall functionality make them a great value. With a small workaround for reusable containers, they are an effective solution for tracking open and expiration dates. I recommend them.

Detailed Review:

I selected these opened and expiration date labels primarily to help keep better track of food and household items once they’ve been opened. Over time, I realized how easy it is to lose track of when something was opened, how long it has been sitting, or when it should realistically be discarded. These labels provide a simple and visually effective solution.

The first thing that stands out is the bright fluorescent orange color. It makes the labels easy to spot at a glance, even in a crowded pantry, refrigerator, medicine cabinet, or linen closet. There is no guessing or hunting for the date—it immediately catches your eye.

The dispenser box is another strong point. It keeps the unused labels clean, protected, and easy to grab one at a time. I appreciate this more than loose rolls or sheets, which tend to get damaged or lost over time.

The adhesive is quite strong and truly permanent. Once these labels are applied, they are not meant to be removed. While this is a benefit for medical, lab, or disposable packaging, it creates a small challenge for home use—especially if you transfer dry goods like flour, sugar, cornstarch, oats, or rice into reusable containers such as Rubbermaid, Tupperware, or OXO. I do not want permanent labels on containers I wash and reuse.

To work around this, I apply the orange date label to a secondary removable label and then affix that to the container. This allows me to remove everything cleanly once the contents are used up. It adds an extra step but preserves the convenience of reusable storage.

The writing space for dates and initials is adequate but somewhat small. It works fine with a fine-tip pen, but I do wish there were just a bit more room to write comfortably, especially if adding both the opened, and expiry date as well as initials.

Where these labels truly shine is versatility. Beyond the kitchen pantry, I use them in the bathroom and linen closet for items like medications, creams, ointments, first-aid supplies, and personal-care products that have limited shelf lives once opened. Being able to quickly see when something was opened or should be discarded provides genuine peace of mind.

With 800 labels included, the quantity represents excellent value. For anyone who likes to stay organized, track expiration dates, or manage consumables responsibly, this is a simple but highly effective system.

Pros:

Bright orange color is highly visible
Strong, permanent adhesive
Safe ink suitable for medical and indirect food use
Convenient dispenser box keeps labels clean
Large quantity offers great value
Useful across kitchen, bathroom, and household storage

Cons:

Writing area is small
Labels are not removable once applied
Requires a workaround for reusable containers

Overall, these labels do exactly what they are intended to do: help you track opened and expiration dates clearly and efficiently. With a minor adjustment for reusable containers, they are an excellent organizational tool and one I would confidently recommend."

Perfect for anything needing use-by dates!

Chris Burke, United States
"These labels are just the right size for a lot of different applications. The adhesive is permanent, so don't plan on moving the sticker once applied. It's a good quality writing surface, but be mindful of what type of writing utensil. If it beads up after the first stroke of the pen, choose a different one! It's easy to peel these from the reel and slap them right on whatever needs it. I like the orange color since it contrasts with all the packaging it's being applied to. These labels are great for marking which hair dyes I have open, and I can put the beyond-use date on each one. We use the "initials" field for indicating the bottle is more than half empty, so it's easy to see at a glance which one needs to be replenished."

Handy labels, bright color, strong adhesive

Alan, United States
"These little yellow stickers are very handy for home organization. The bright yellow color is fantastic, you can not miss them on containers in the fridge or pantry, which is exactly what I needed. They are just the right size too, small enough to fit on various jars and containers without taking up too much space, but still with enough room to clearly write out a date. I use them for labeling spices' and food's expiration dates, I just slap one of these on and write down the "Expiration" date. It's made a huge difference in reducing food waste and making sure everything is fresh. The adhesive is strong, so they stick well even on plastic containers that go in and out of the fridge/freezer/pantry, and they don't smear when I write on them with a fine-tip marker. The only thing is the adhesive is strong and semi permanent, and they are not meant to be removed. Definitely very handy for keeping track of food freshness!"

Multipurpose not just medical: I use for food storage

Laura G., United States
"I love these labels. Even though they’re marketed as of medical label, as soon as I saw them and what the different categories were in the three different sections I thought to myself, “oh my goodness this would be perfect for food organization, especially the freezer! You have one spot you could put in your date that you froze it and another spot to write when you take it out And thaw it and then you would know how long it’s been opened. The other feature I love about this is two pronged: the labels are small enough that they can fit in a good spot such as on a plastic bag that has a white area to write on. Or they could go on the side of a plastic container. The second feature is that they are bright orange, practically a neon orange and because of that it is so easy to locate them on your plastic carton or a jar or a package as they really stand out brightly. I’m using them all the time now and they are so useful and handy. I feel much more confident in my food freshness: no more guest work!

I received this product in order to review it as part of the Amazon vine program."

Expiration Date Stickers

Amazon Customer, United States
"I struggle with forgetfulness due to ADHD and was looking for a way to label foods in my refrigerator to know when they expire, so I decided to adhere these labels to some leftovers. These stickers were easy to peel from the roll and affix to the lid of the food dish. The writing space is just large enough to hold a month, day, and year when written numerically. Due to the bright color of the labels, I found my eyes drawn to the expiration date when I opened the refrigerator, which helped to act as a persistent reminder.

These stickers stayed adhered to the dish for several days while stored in the refrigerator. Then, once the dish was emptied, I forgot to take the sticker off when I placed the food dish into a basin of water to soak. To my surprise, the label remained fastened to the lid.

Overall, these expiration date stickers have met my expectations. With the bright color and ability to stay fastened to surfaces despite less-than-ideal conditions, they have helped me to reduce my food wastage and keep track of food expiration dates. They functioned as expected, and I found they offered solid value for their intended purposes."

Great labels and value, little small to write on

Wilson, United States
"I picked up this pack of Mermed Opened & Expiration Date Labels for at home use. They are a simple and great way to mark food as opened and note when it was opened or when it needs to be used by. This makes life a little easier to manage things like our household fridge and helps us avoid the question of "how long ago was this opened?" and "is this still good?"

When something gets opened, like a condiment, large yogurt container, oat milk, or anything that has lifespan after it is opened, we put one of these labels on and scribble on a date with a marker. It is a bright orange indicator that says that the item is opened and makes it clear when something has been opened for a long time and may not be good to consume anymore.

The labels themselves are great, and an excellent value for 800 of them. They can dispense right from the box, so they are easy to keep clean and ready to use. They are a big on the small side, which is probably great for certain applications like a syringe, but they are a little hard to fit dates on in the spaces given, even with a ballpoint pen. They are not super water-resistant (the label stock is paper) so they will peel and flake off when they get exposed to water for a short period of time, but they don't seem to have any issue with the cold environment in the refrigerator and the occasional dampness from condensation or wet hands. They also adhere well to everything we have tried so far and don't have any trouble staying stuck in place even inside the refrigerator.

Overall if you are looking for a great value on a long roll of labels, this is a great choice, especially if you need all three of these fields and a label in this size. I may opt for a larger label in the future, but these work perfectly well for me and with 800 of them, I will have these for a long time."

Great for Labeling Fridge/Pantry

Jaclyn Jenkins, United States
"I got this so that I can label various things in my pantry and fridge. Whenever I open things, I like to label the date it was opened. If I move things to a different container, then labeling it with the opening and expiration date is a must. These make it much easier to do this in order to keep track of food. There are only two cons I have: (1) the size. I do wish they were a bit wider so that the date could be bigger. (2) the label paper material is really strange. Sharpies barely work, turn streaky and stop working. Ballpoint pens smear. Once I find the perfect pen, I will update this review."

Bright easy to see labels.

Stephen W., United States
"These are exactly what the description say they are: labels for expiring products. Although I would add that they're good for more than just medical products they probably would fit on other food storage containers as well. They are bright and easy to see and easy to write on. The only thing I am a little clueless on is if this is a good price for this quantity as this is the first time I have obtained something like this."

Because “it’s probably fine” is risky

Aubrey Gates, United States
"These little orange stickers are about as basic as it gets, and that’s exactly why they’re useful. Yes, they’re clearly designed for commercial settings like kitchens, labs, or hospitals, but honestly, they work just as well in a regular home. Especially if you’re a parent who has ever stared into the fridge wondering when something was opened and whether you’re about to make a bad decision.

I started using these on things like lunch meat, cheese, leftovers, and anything else that gets opened and slowly forgotten about. You open it, slap on a sticker, write the date, done. No guessing. No sniff test debates. No “it’s probably fine” moments. The bright orange color makes them hard to miss, which helps when you’re doing a quick fridge clean out.

They stick well, don’t smear when you write on them, and stay put until the container is done and headed out. There’s nothing complicated here, and that’s the whole point. They do exactly what they’re supposed to do and quietly make life a little easier.

Bottom Line: I would assume these are excellent for commercial use because they’ve been phenomenal at home. This is a must buy for anyone who doesn’t have a photographic memory and wants to avoid that moment when you take a bite and realize your cheese has opinions now."

Expiration Date Labels Just as Described

Zero Cool, United States
"They come on a rolled up spool and they are just what you would expect. The only thing that I don't like and I think that they should have done differently, is how they have the word "Expiration" where it takes up the whole top left corner of the writing area. Which essentially cuts off the whole top half of the writing area, making you write the date out quite small. They could have, and SHOULD have, just put "Exp" above the word "Date." Then the date could have been written much bigger. But oh well I guess... And I didn't take any stars off for this, because I was already aware of it when I ordered these.

Here's some advice for anyone who uses any of these labels too. Depending on what you write on them with, it can be easy to accidentally smear what you've written. Sometimes even long after it's been written. It can also be difficult getting them to stay stuck on things, especially when you try and stick them onto things that have been in the refrigerator or the freezer. And so, to combat this, I always have some Scotch Super-Hold Transparent Tape on hand (the kind that comes in the red packaging). Which I use to cover the whole label with. But that isn't always enough to keep labels stuck on refrigerated and frozen things. Sometimes the only way to stick anything on them is to let them warm up almost to room temperature. Because until they do, whatever item it is constantly has moisture appear on the outside of it. You can try and dry where you are going to stick the label on and hurry up and stick it on, but it's tricky.

Anyway, it's not the fault of these labels, as they stick just fine. And I would definitely recommend them to anyone who is considering getting them, as long as you don't mind having to write the date kind of small (that is, if you get the expiration date labels)."

Magnificent Date Labels: Perfect for Pantry, Fridge, and Cosmetics!

Kittytoes, United States
"These Mermed Opened & Expiration Date Labels are absolutely magnificent! I purchased them to improve pantry rotation and freshness tracking around the house, and they have far exceeded my expectations.

☆Superb Adhesion (No More Fallen Labels)-
​I had previously been using regular sticker labels, which frustratingly started falling off my containers and ended up scattered inside my cabinets. The difference with these is night and day. These Mermed labels stick firmly to where they are placed and have not budged, providing reliable, long-term adhesion.

☆Time-Saving Convenience-
​The pre-labeled fields: Opened Date, Exp. Date, and Initials (INT.), are a massive time-saver. Instead of writing "Open Date," "Exp," and drawing lines every time, all I need to do is quickly fill in the dates. This efficiency makes a mundane, repetitive organizational task much quicker and easier to maintain.

☆Clever Dispenser Box-
​The design of the packaging is brilliant. The label box is easily converted into a convenient dispenser. After feeding the end of the roll under the box flap, the labels are easily pulled for quick, label dispensing.

☆Versatile Home Use-
​I've found these stickers to be incredibly versatile:
​•Pantry Rotation: Ideal for noting dates on spices, baking ingredients, and dry goods.
​•Refrigerator/Food Safety: Great for noting dates on open containers in the fridge, as many products have specific use-by dates after opening.
​•Health & Beauty: Perfect for cosmetics and bath and body products to ensure you aren't using items past their recommended safe period.

I highly recommend these labels to anyone looking for a reliable, convenient, and highly visible way to track freshness and improve organization at home or in a professional setting."

Reduces waste and takes guesswork out of it

Dirrrty, United States
"These are the perfect size to fit in the kitchen drawer!!! I use these when I open a container of spaghetti sauce or a can of anything. I label it on the top and it sticks just fine without falling off!! I put date opened and the number of days I want to use in so if someone else is wondering they don’t guess! This helps me know when everything needs to be used up with zero chance of waste!!! Major brownie points with my husband and in law! The fact they stick without coming off means great quality and ease of use!! Restaurant quality and functionality!! I can even put the expired date that’s listed on the package on it as well! Sharpie works good! The number of labels that are included is good as well!!"

Should this cheese actually be blue? 👍🏽

S. A. Hurwitz, United States
"These labels are perfect for answering questions like should this cheese actually be blue? And I know I’ve thrown out perfectly good food because I couldn’t remember how long it had been in the back of the refrigerator. Stickers stay on well. Font is legible. Also, if one of your work colleagues is a lunch thief they might think twice before eating a tuna sandwich with a 2024 expiration date. Good size and stickiness. Perfect color to get noticed! Food safety and also useful for reducing waste. I think these are great."

Bright colored expiration stickers you can't miss

TMRose, United States
"I absolutely love these expiration date stickers! The bright yellow color makes them impossible to miss, which is perfect since expiration dates on packages are often hard to see. Once the date is written, it’s clear and easy to spot at a glance.

The stickers are small enough to fit on almost anything, though you may need to write in small print for longer dates. Despite their size, they really stand out. They adhere well to every surface I’ve used so far.
I often transfer food and OTC medications into containers.

I used to cut out expiration dates and tape them on, but now I simply write the date on one of these stickers and I’m done.

These stickers have made organizing my pantry, fridge, and medications so much easier and more efficient.

Highly recommended!"

Very good

Heather Rae, United States
"These stickers are super handy. I personally use them on refrigerator items that have an expiration before the printed date after opening bc I can easily see when I opened something, when it will expire, and it's original expiration date. These work well for this.
In a clinical or scientific scenario these would be great. They adhere well to glass, waxed paper containers and plastic or cardboard packaging. I guess it also depends on the pen but mine has written well, the ink shows up nice, and personally I have had no problems with smudging after writing on them. There's a lot of stickers and they come on the roll in a little box. They store easily, stuck well and are exactly as described."

Worked well. Not super sticky.

MsDee, United States
"I use these solely for the expiration date. They're a little small with not a lot of room to write on but they get the job done. As a home care provider, I use them to let clients know when to no longer consume food that is approaching its expiration date. The thing I like most is also the thing I'd like least in a different scenario. These stickers don't seem to stick for a long time to plastic storage containers in the fridge. This is good because they are easy to remove from storage containers without leaving a sticky residue or traces of paper. If I needed these to stick to things going into the freezer, I'd need a different kind of label. Overall, they worked well."

Convenient and useful

Celeste, United States
"These labels are super effective for keeping track of how old opened products are. I use them for food, medicines, skincare/cosmetics, and cleaning supplies, and it’s so much more convenient to slap a label on them than it is to print out individual thermal labels (and which fade over time), which is what I was previously doing. The labels are sticky and easy to write on. I like that they are bright orange, so they are quickly noticeable, and 800 per pack will last a long time. You can make a label dispenser opening if you cut a small notch into the top of one of the shorter sides of the box, feed the labels through, and keep the box closed."

Quality labels. Bright and clear!

Siggy, United States
"I worked in restaurants and grocery stores for years so am accustomed to dating and labeling things in the fridge/freezer. These are great little stickers, highly visible, well sized and easy to write on. Very happy with the size of the roll and the stickiness of the labels."

Date Opened Stickers for Your Fridge-- Stop the Guessing and Keep Food Safe!

Amazon Customer, United States
"Got these to use in the refrigerator. These will keep things fresh and make sure everyone knows when it's time for something to go in the trash. They stick nicely to jars or lids. They're relatively small in size, about 2 inches in length. The bright orange color makes them easily seen."

Glad I Got These Stickers

Sweetshrub, United States
"I put these stickers to work almost immediately when they arrived. I used them to write the expiration date on every food item in my cupboard. They are the perfect size for a variety of different food packages. The adhesive is strong while being removable, if needed. These stickers have already made my life a wee bit easier."

Simple and very noticeable

P. Frazier, United States
"You get so many labels included with this order. The quantity is one of the best features. The orange color makes it very bright, visible and hard to miss. This is a good way to keep organization and avoid utilizing items beyond their expiration date. The adhesive works pretty good. I had it on a bottle that got slightly oily and the label stayed in place even though it was stained. I love that the written options are simple and to the point. These labels are worth it for the simplicity and organization."

Super handy for household labeling and medical work

kawaiikitty, United States
"These labels are great quality and super useful. I’m using them for food items in my kitchen as well as my cats’ medications, and they stick really well to plastic and glass. The bright orange color makes the dates easy to see, and the ink space is big enough to write clearly. Perfect for home use, but honestly nice enough for a clinic setting too. Great deal for how many you get."

Perfect for food storage

Laura, United States
"These are great for food storage. The color is bright, so easy to see. Nono more searching the packages for tiny printing. They stick well too."

Removes cleanly.

Nicole Schiro, United States
"Bright, sticky and easy to write on.

They remove cleanly, too which I love! Nice and bright."

Very Necessary Item

Gigi Duran, United States
"Really good and a necessary item for the kitchen.
I used mine on juice bottles that are difficult to see the expire dates, which end up spoiling.
I also used them on pantry containers for cereals, rice, etc, that once I remove the foods from original package, and store in containers, this little expire sticker helps me keep foods freshly stored👍."

Lack of Adequate Space to Record Important Dates

BS, United States
"Although a good concept, the benefit in utilizing these expiration labels is significantly diminished due to the small amount of space for recording dates. Unfortunately, the design failed to allow for adequate room to insert necessary dates which is essential to the usage of these labels. It's necessary to use a very fine tip pen when recording the important opened and expiration dates. The bright orange color enables the labels to be easily visible and the adhesive appears to be strong as well. However, due to the afore mentioned product concern, these labels fall short of a higher quality rating."
