Labeling of medications in ORs

In your organizations how do you ensure that a medication which is prepared in OR before a procedure is labelled with required elements. Are there any predesigned stickers? we often struggle with unlabeled medication containers that contain medications and are prepared right before procedures. Some of these containers in which medications are poured are sterilized and putting a sticker on it is not possible. I want like to learn how this is managed in your institutions.
Thank you
