Does the pen to write on the lid have to be a dry erase marker or would a sharpie still come off when washed?

The directions/pamphlet specify dry erase. I bought a new dry erase for this purpose, as I don't think a sharpie would erase. This is a nice set, and the ability to label containers with dates and contents for freezing is a nice feature.

a Sharpie should never come off anything - period. buy a dry erase or take one from work from one of your conf rooms

Directions that came with the set:(bought Jan 2015)To Write On: Use a soft tip non-toxic permanent marker or a soft tip wet erase marker. Writing should be contained to the "write here" area and marking on the textured areas should be avoided. You will not be able to remove the ink if it is on the texture area. To Remove Markings:Wet Erase Marker-Simply wash the lid by hand or in the dishwasher. Permanent Marker-Gently rub off using a soft dry dish cloth, paper towel or tissue. Should the ink become hard to remove, you can use a few drops of isopropyl alcohol to remove writing.

I use permanent markers on mine and it comes off when I hand wash it. Dishwasher works okay, but might take a couple of cycles because there is no direct contact. Dry erase comes off very easily, so wet erase would be better if you are concerned about permanent markers.

Superchalk pen with the chalkboard sticker. It works amazing. Able to constantly change the label by washing it.

You can use a sharpie on them but if they are handled by kids, the moisture on their hands will start to transfer the ink to their hands too. This plastic is smooth and not porous which would hold the ink for an extended time. A laminated sticker (ink surface sealed) with your Letter or Number on it would hold longer and would look better over time.

The back has a white laminate (shiny) surface. You can write on the back with dry erase markers and it will also wipe off, but the front glass is a much better writing surface.

As for regular pen marks you perhaps may need to wash with regular soap and water then scrub or put into laundry but not the dryer. Kids will be kids, try not to allow them the usage of regular pen and markers on this kind of surface mat. Best wishes!

To be able to erase and reuse the container use the pen provided...it takes a little patience and the label cannot be cold.

I use a sharpie and I mark the bag prior to pumping. This way it has time to dry. The writing would smudge and fade if I wrote on the bag either right before filling it or after filling it.

I think the writing would flake right off. The only thing I could think of possibly working would be a permanent marker or tape.

I don't know... they give you a pen. and I think you have to use water soluble pens, not dry erase. or I think it said it would leave ghost markings.

The dome is just a regular piece of plastic, so anything that would erase from plastic should work. The markers it came with actually have lasted a while so far and I got the $4.99 add-on crayola gel markers and they worked with it too. My almost 4 year old really loves this set.

With a sharpie, no because they are permanent ;) but I bet a dry erase might work. These cups are so adorable,I highly recommend them

I used a label maker that creates sticker labels. Dry erase would wipe off. Good Luck!

My 2 year old daughter uses "washable" crayons and markers and those come off very easily (wet paper towel, no scrubbing). I'm not sure about regular paints and markers.

Not well. I think it's a water-based ink. It is kind of splotchy on most plastic - and ....I just tried wetting my finger after it dried for 5 minutes and could easily wipe the ink off the plastic. Then I tried a red and a blue "Sharpie" brand permanent marker - the most common type of permanent felt tip marker pen - and couldn't remove the mark after it dried for a minute. However, the calligraphic pen is permanent on paper - and the pens stay good for years - sometimes even surviving when they are left uncapped for a while. And their chisel points keep a nice shape too. Makes average handwriting - like mine - look fantastic. enjoy, Roger L.

Yes, you can write in the lids with a Sharpie. I write on a piece of masking tape with a sharpie so I can change it.

I use dry and wet erase markers on this and I have found the best thing to utilize to wipe them off is Lysol Disinfectant Wipes. The ones in the Yellow containers. :-)

Not unless they have a papery like surface. Otherwise, it just wipes off. Regular sharpies would probably be better for that.
