Q. What will the labels adhere to?
A. Glass, plastic, metal, wax, paper, fabric, wood. Jars, bottles, bags, boxes. Labels are easily removable from glass, metal, and wax, but they are not removable from paper, wood, or plastic. The adhesive bond becomes stronger as it ages. You can reposition a label on glass or metal containers for up to several hours. After this time, to remove them, soak them overnight in hot, soapy water, or heat them with a hair dryer to soften the adhesive. With either of these methods you will not be able to re-use the labels.

Q. What is the best way to apply the labels?
A. For best results apply labels to a clean, oil-free, room-temperature surface. Condensation on a cold container (a cold wine bottle for example) may prevent labels from adhering properly. The adhesive bond becomes stronger as it ages. Freshly applied labels tend to lift off slightly when held underwater for a long period, so if you plan to have a bottle of beer or wine rest in a tub of ice, we recommend it be applied a week before your event if possible. The labels are not designed to withstand long-term use in damp conditions such as in a shower or dishwasher. Storing labeled containers in a refrigerator may result in wrinkling of the labels.

Q. What is the best way to be sure the labels are put on straight?
A. Lay the container on its side on a flat surface so you can look down at it. Peel the label off the carrier sheet. Hold the label at the top center and the bottom center edges, visually line it into position above the container, then carefully press onto the surface at those points. Rub it down carefully from the center out to the edges.
