Are these permanent, or removable? Will they be difficult to remove from my jars?

Yes. Once stuck they are on there! I was placing them on the celo window of a cupcake box and they wouldn't pull off without leaving some of the backing behind.

The labels are removable but they are difficult to remove and are not like the ball labels that are removable with soap and water. I use them on the sealing lid and so I usually don't reuse the lids when canning. I have never use them on the jars so I'm not sure how that would work.

They are pretty permanent. Removing them from a jar would be as difficult as removing an adhesive price tag from a picture frame!

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.

No they are not removable. Maybe a damp cloth to wipe them down could work .

I have had no damage to any jar but I have not tried to open any that were canned at home. It does not take much pressure to open anything. You should be able to reuse them.

I honestly can't answer cause I haven't tried to remove the ones I bought. Sry!

I find them very easy to remove - I remove the labels as soon as I take the container from the freezer, don't let them stay on during the heating/dishwasher phase

I have not had a reason to remove them yet. The adhesive seems to be a lot like double sided tape so if you heat it with a hairdryer and carefully peel it off you should be ok. A little goo-off should clean up any residue left behind.

They are not removable, and sort of a one time use thing. That is why I have been trying to be very careful with my pair, yet the Red LED burned out too quickly......

Well,,, yes they can be removed by pulling straight up on both lids at the same time. They are attached to the divider bar by means of plastic pins. I don't think it was designed for regular removal of the lids, but I just tried it and it worked. It was a bit of effort to pull it out. Then just re-insert the pin to put the lids back on. It may however, after continuous removals and replacing wear out the pens. But on the other hand the lids don't open as fully as i would like them and makes it a little hard to fill the cups up. So even though I hadn't thought of it, I may just start taking the lids off too! :) Well,,, yes they can be removed by pulling straight up on both lids at the same time.

If fully screwed onto the jar, they are as airtight. They are not, of course, as airtight as something that is canned using rings/lids but for basic storage of dry goods or wet goods in the refrigerator they'll keep food fresh for quite a while. We use them as lids for things such as salsa and jam once opened and placed in the refrigerator. The salsa/jam lasts at least a week without any issue. Dry goods will store much longer, obviously.

I wouldn't say it removes them. More like diminishes them so they aren't as noticeable. I am on my second jar (stuff lasts FOREVER) so maybe when this one is done I'll notice more?

Yes, they can come off if you pull them off. There is a slit along that allows for removing if you want to.

The chalk comes off with wiping of any kind. I have not washed my jars yet. I imagine if you put them on a clean jar they would stay on for a while.

This is one of the biggest downsides I think. They are not difficult to remove but it's not especially quick, and they would be difficult to put back on when full. After I got them I realized it would be nice to have easily removable ones I could take into the store instead of carrying separate grocery bags. I still like them though.

Good question. I've never tried to remove one. I'll try now...ok, I just started removing a label from a glass food storage container, and it peeled ver easily, and left absolutely no residue whatever. I only peeled it 1/2 way, and it stuck back down just as firmly as it was before. I have been using this container with the label on it for well over a year now, through microwave, dishwasher, refrigerator, and even freezer, and have never had a label come off, or even show any signs of wear.

They are silicone. They are also a bit stretchy, so don't be concerned if they appear to be a little small for your jar.

They are very easily removable. They're hanging in our second house. They were first put up on a fresh coat of paint. No paint peeled when we removed them. They survived the move and easily went up in the new house.

I'm sorry but I don't know since I put mine on canisters ect that I want them permanently. There is a spray to remove labels and residue. I have ordered these labels 3X's.
