  • Publication number: 20160086518
    Abstract: A labeling system embeds a permanent label into a food container, such that the label may be reused for identifying container content, such as food. The label records at least one parameter about the contents of the container for a week long duration. The label includes spaces configured to receive removable marks from a marker. The parameter can include information pertinent to the identification, shelf life, and preparation time for the food, and a preparer identification. The parameters can also have each day of the week displayed. In this manner, the appropriate day can be marked to identify the date the food was stored in the container. Because of the greater duration covered by the parameters, the label does not have to be removed daily for marking new information thereto, and the need to remark over old markings on a label is minimized.
