Vinyl labels are waterproof, they don't soften or wrinkle when wet, and they are removable, repositionable and re-usable.

Q. What will paper labels adhere to?
A. Glass, plastic, metal, wax, paper, fabric, wood. Jars, bottles, bags, boxes, CD's. Labels will adhere to wax candles, although they can be pulled off easily. Paper labels will not adhere to frozen surfaces. If you have something in your freezer you want to label, remove it from the freezer for a minute, apply the label, then put it back in the freezer; the label will stay stuck. On most other surfaces, paper labels are difficult to remove, so you should plan on not removing them. The adhesive bond becomes stronger as it ages, so you can reposition a label on glass or metal containers for up to an hour. After this time, to remove paper labels, soak overnight in hot, soapy water, or heat them with a hair dryer to soften the adhesive. With either of these methods you can remove the labels, but you will not be able to re-use them.

Q. What will vinyl labels adhere to?
A. Vinyl labels are removable from glass, some plastics and metal. Labels will stick to wax candles, although they can be pulled off easily. Jars, bottles, bags, boxes, CD's. Vinyl labels are permanent on paper, fabric, wood or any other porous surface. Vinyl labels will not adhere to frozen surfaces. If you have something in your freezer you want to label, remove it from the freezer for a minute, apply the label, then put it back in the freezer; the label will stay stuck. Vinyl labels use a removable adhesive which holds strongly, yet removes easily (and without residue) from glass, metal and plastic surfaces, so they can be repositioned at any time, and re-used if you peel them off your container carefully and replace them on the carrier sheet they came on.

Q. Are the labels waterproof?
A. Vinyl labels are waterproof, and they are available in most label sizes. Vinyl labels can withstand immersion underwater for long periods of time without softening, wrinkling or bubbling. This is the perfect material for something you store in a damp environment like a refrigerator or a humid climate.

Q. Can I re-use the labels?
A. You can re-use vinyl labels if you peel them off your container carefully and replace them on the carrier sheet they came on. You can also re-position vinyl labels at any time if you are not happy with how you placed the label on your container. You can also write on them if needed.

Q. What is the best way to apply the labels?
A. See the blog for a demo. For best results apply labels to a clean, oil-free, room-temperature surface. Condensation on a cold container (a cold wine bottle for example) will prevent labels from adhering properly. The adhesive bond becomes stronger as it ages. Our waterproof vinyl labels use a removable adhesive which holds strongly, yet removes easily (and without residue) from glass, metal and plastic surfaces, so they can be repositioned at any time, and re-used if you peel them off your container carefully and replace them on the carrier sheet they came on.
