Hi crafters! I'm wondering if I can use this permanent adhesive for sticking labels on mason jars? is it easy to remove when I want to relabel?

Yes, it would work great on mason jars. If you want removable, I would use the repositionable adhesive. Don't let the name mislead you, it sticks great until you want to take it off on purpose! If you have any problems getting all of the sticky off, Undo is the best product out there to remove glues.

I have found the explanation! I called the manufacturer, and as it turns out, about a year ago they had a shipment of these go out with the wrong adhesive. The labels had the heavy-duty adhesive that was used for their shipping boxes. The woman I spoke to was very nice, and offered to send me a replacement. The label on mine is not coming off with any amount of elbow grease or tricks. She was wondering how they were still out there, since it was a couple hundred of them and it was a year ago. It must be a particular third party shipper used by Amazon. The should NOT be trying to get rid of these on unsuspecting Amazon customers! Shame.

Sharing something I discovered... Easiest way to remove labels with permanent adhesives: microwave entire object (okay for glass, plastic, ceramics) for 10-30 seconds (depending on microwave power), and they will peel right off, glue and all. There may be a bit of residue, but that will wash off with a detergent no problem.

They are just basically stickers. They are yellow, and have most of your typical spices. There were a few that I use regularly, that they didn't have though. So I actually didn't use the labels at all. I have a label maker, and made my own custom labels. That worked well. But you could probably reuse the labels, just be careful not to rip them. They seem pretty durable. :) Hope that answered your question. If you have any more, let me know. I bought two of these, and am very happy with them. :)

they're sticker-like labels, so you can definitely remove them. it may require some cleaning afterwards (for the glue) but nothing major

I use these labels for just about everything - except - where I want the label to be very temporary. They do peel off but not well. The adhesive does clean-up with "goo-gone". They are the right high for Pendflex folders and I use them for the interior folders as well. You can also adjust the text font size and print on 1 or more lines so classification is easy to do.

The labels are permanent as far as I can tell. We use them to label the top of our maple syrup for sale and once you place the label, it doesn't come off unless you soak it in warm water and then scrub it off. The labels are uncoated so, once printed, the ink would run if wet.

I am sorry, but this may not help you. I actually just hung this on a wall with mounting clay (that blue or yellow tacky stuff for poster hanging). I did not realize the product was a giant sticky label, and did not want to take the chance of it ripping off my wallpaper. It actually worked very well like this. We had a TV-themed New Year's Eve Party and this item was very cool as a decoration. I have since taken it down from the wall without any problems and have re-rolled back up and placed it back in its tube. So I will use it again, in the future. Good luck!

I use Brother's label maker (they are adhesive on one side) on these and then they last forever if I want them to. If I want to put on a different label I just put the new one over the old one. It's the only system that has worked for me.

They are permanent. I find labels come off easy when you soak in super hot water with Dawn platinum dish liquid. But the labels are permanent.

I have never had a problem with these labels. I sell on line and use them to print mailing labels. I can't answer your questions regarding removing them as I've never tried to do that.

I haven't tried hot glue yet, but Aleene's Tacky Glue works great if you're making refrigerator magnets with them. I made a calendar for my fridge with bottle caps and the tacky glue is great for that purpose. Super glue will also work, but just be careful you don't glue yourself to the magnets. Lol Hope that was helpful. :) Hot glue probably won't hold very well.

No. I have not tried to remove them. Permanent vs removable is what they are referring to. Removable means it is easy to remove and leaves little if any residue, if you are planning to remove the labels, get removable ones. If you are not then buy permanent.

Hello! I have reused several containers of frozen stock and the labels peeled off perfectly even after being in the freezer. I've read some reviews that say if you get the labels wet they leave some residue. I don't get them wet I simply put them on a dry lid and pop them in the freezer and when I take out the stock from the freezer I peel the label right off with no problem. I hope this answers your question!

I change my mind all the time - so I've taken the label off and put on different contains. For instance - I had a really small storage container of tape that was labeled and then went to Costco and bought more than would fit in that container. I just took the label off the small one and put it on the medium one! I think the trick is that it has to be plastic or glass (non-porous like it says). I doubt you can do this a lot of times - but I've definitely done it a few times and it sticks great!

Dont know that. I painted mason jar lids with black chalk board paint and used the markers to lable what was it them. They work fantastic for that purpose.

We actually use it with an embosser that we had made to make jelly jar labels. You can also use it for return addresses. You can get one on Amazon or Williams Sonoma. Return Address Name Embosser/Seal
