Claim:
A storage system for providing information about items being stored, the storage system comprising: a tray upon which items can be placed for storage, the tray comprising a wall and a rim formed on the wall such that there is an interface between the rim and the wall; and a tray-tag adapted to be selectively and securely coupled to the tray, the tray-tag comprising: a face plate having front and back surfaces, the front surface being adapted to have indicia thereon for providing information about items being stored on the tray; and a mounting assembly positioned on the back surface of the face plate and being adapted to selectively and securely couple the tray-tag to the rim of the tray so that the rim of the tray is positioned immediately adjacent the back surface of the face plate, the mounting assembly comprising: an engagement flap having a first portion and a second portion, the first portion extending distally and generally perpendicularly from the back surface of the face plate so that the first portion rests on top of the rim of the tray when the tray-tag is selectively coupled to the tray; and at least one support tab extending distally and generally perpendicularly from the back surface of the face plate so that the at least one support tab extends underneath the rim of the tray, the at least one support tab comprising a first end and an opposing second end, the opposing second end of the at least one support tab terminating at the interface between the rim and the wall of the tray when the tray-tag is selectively coupled to the tray whereby the face plate is substantially prevented from rotating about the rim of the tray.
