Does anyone know if the numbers fade fast or do they last through candy making and washes?

They don't fade - they come right off! I wrote to Polder and they sent a new one. The numbers came off even more quickly than the first one.It's an excellent product just as long as you don't use it.

I have had mine for over a year and it has lasted like new, though I don't wash it in the dishwasher with harsh detergents. I do however use it for candy-making and frying at least four or five times each month. So, in about 60 uses, it still looks new. Guess that's pretty good, huh!?!

No, they aren't color-fast but that's why the manufacturer recommends washing them 1st before using them. I bought the varsity blue one and it bled blue dye when I hand washed it so I rinsed it really well but it hasn't bled dye since. My brother has used it multiple times since I got it for him with no further problems and no color fading either. HTH!

My numbers also started to disappear,I used a permanent marker over the numbers. This has lasted us a couple of months now. We play bingo twice a month. Hope this helps you.

They are hard candies. They may last longer than me. I have some in my purse and have had them there for a while. It is hot and humid where I live now. I was at the movies today and reached for one. Was worried it may have squished up and gotten gummy. I opened the little plastic wrapper in the dark and the candy was dry and perfect. If you order them they may not last long anyway. I have some left from my last order because I kind of hoard them.

I'm not an expert in this field, but I do know they will last a couple months. Do not buy any that are close to going out of date. I did from Walmart and they were crispy and broke into a hundred tiny pieces when I opened the package. The one I got from this company, I held for well over a month before I used it. It was still fresh.

Not sure I can give a great answer. I love this little label maker, but I have not owned it for long enough to tell fade. I have used the paper labels on my pantry canisters for about 6 months now with no fade. I have not tried the plastic labels yet. I seem to remember that people tended to like the plastic labels better for longevity.

I can't say for sure, but I use my calculator daily and I print, so that uses up the ink quickly. If you don't mind a not so sharp printed tape, I'd guess the ribbon is good for 3-4 months.....but I know for a fact I've had ribbons in my calculator for over a year because I was too lazy to find a place that sells these ribbons.

Hello, I use the inks for cake pops made with candy melts...I bought the black ones and also a pack o colored ones from a different vendor, I had no problem with the black ink that came in the colored pack...Also, for me to test and make sure it was not the candy melt, I always test in a white paper... none of those 2 pens wrote on the white paper, they were completely dried...

The one we have seems to wash fine. Numbers haven't fallen off. It's not made out of the best material in the world, but it's holding up well with my son who wears it about 3 times per week.

My K/1 kids use them everyday in my classroom. However, be warned, some of them were dried-out when I got them. I don't know what the "shelf-life" is with their products.

I have had these bottles for over a year now and the numbers have not washed off. I put them on the top rack of the dishwasher. Sometimes I use my bottles as a measuring cup when my measuring cup is dirty. Lol hope this helps you, God bless.

Yes they are, have washed mine several times in the dishwasher with no problems, no fading whatsoever in the markings. Don't hesitate, a very nice set.

Not at all. Every 2 weeks after the cleaners clean my house, this goes into the wash for a Heavy duty cycle, and after what now, 2 years of continual use and washing, They have not frayed or changed color or lost their shape or in any way become worse for wear. in between I use a lot of them for other things too. quick clean-ups, they are superior in soaking up things that spilled, and cleaning my pets and anything that needs to be wiped. These things are great

I've had mine for about 6 months. And the writing is great and easy to read. However 2 of the spoons have melted/warped in the dishwasher. They are still usable bit it annoyed me so I thought I would pass that info along. The magnets work great to keep the nested to.

I haven't experienced any fading of the labels. We create new files at the beginning of each year, and the new ones always look just like the old ones. I've even gone back into files from 5 years ago, and the labels look the same.

They're printed on the bottle, not etched in. I've used mine consistently for over a year and there is no wear on the numbers.
