Well, it may be worthwhile to keep something like that handy if one hauls containers frequently anyway. Depends on how ignorant those are to scrape.
Best way to remove Placards? Experienced advice needed.

I would just get some brown meat packers paper and tape it over them, you never know they may be needed again sometime, worst case the container is covered in brown paper and the owners have to PAY someone to remove them.

Getting them off at 80 degrees F and getting them off at 5 degrees F are 2 different exercises. In the cold, 120 AC, extension cord, and a heat gun is almost mandatory but can be very slow and tedious when outdoors.
I've never tried glue solvent (goof off, wd-40, etc) and I'm unsure if this stuff penetrates the placard from the face, or must "fall in behind" the placard as it is worked off (this seems very costly and tedious option too). I will defer to others for more info on this technique. -
I must have a magic scraper, it removes placards, with little effort.

At the Swift shops they have intermodal containers full of Acetone in spray cans for removing decals,reflective tape and logos on trucks and trailers. Some drivers like to paint over the 1-800 numbers for calling in erratic driving and deface the Award Winning Drivers logos. So the shops remove them and put fresh ones on. Also good for removing te reflective tape that gets torn up down the sides of the trailer and the ICC bumper to it can be replaced.
Here's my go to solution:
