How long do these need to be submerged to shrink? Dont actually process my product but like the labels!

I submerge mine in hot water (boiling water that I've let cool a little) and they shrink instantly. It's really easy!

They shrink immediately! Pros: Quick & Easy to apply. The labels were secure and retained their position, even after a few dishwasher cycles. Cons: The labels are unforgiving to an improper sleeve fit. A "do-over" is not an option! Tip: Make sure the water is hot, but not boiling. I stuck a long wood skewer between the jar and the label. Pulling outward to hold the label in place & to create tension for a smooth label face. Then concurrently pulled the skewer out as I submerged the jar.

you would think that the labels would get wet but They Don't. I have cleaned hundreds of mine,Family and Friends albums and they just don't. Water line is below the label and groves channel solution around it. Don't worry about your labels.... Check out some videos of use on Youtube to see for yourself. Joe

I ran the sink full of hot water and put the sealed package in for 10 minutes. They work fine. When you warm them up a little they are more pliable and easier to form to your teeth. Even if they look dried out they still work.

We have been macine-drying these (on low) for 5 months and have not seen any quality loss. We only put them outside to remove stains. They dry fast, as long as the dryer isn't too full!

Mine did not shrink at all. They are a micro-fleece polyester, which does not shrink

I don't know. I use them up fairly quickly. I have had them up to a year and they didn't dry out.

No problem :) I also dry them on low heat then let it air dry if it's still damp. I don't know what the manufacturer recommends but so far mine have held up.

A long time, they will stay absorbed with water as long as they have water. If the water dries up they shrink back down. I have to throw them out sometimes because my kids squish them apart but besides that they can be used over and over.

Great question. The constructions of this product has not changed. However, with any new shrink wrapped products there will a minor "new" smell that will fade with time. We recommend you allow them to air out for 1-3 days if odor is present.

They are similar to other labels of this type. Part of it will come off but then they tear. As stated below...hot water....will help. Of course it depends on what you are trying to remove them from...this is for glass.

Cinthya, This is Anthony Wayne, founder of Chalky Talky. The answer is yes, you can wash them in the sink without removing them and they will stick. With that said, we do wash these labels on jars at our home, but not in a commercial setting. I am not sure if you are washing multiple times a day how long they would stick. However, if you do go ahead with it and they do not last to your needs, please drop me a line and I will reimburse you. It would be interesting to know that data. I have a feeling they will outperform expectations, even in commercial use. That would make for a great review (hint, hint:)! Cinthya, This is Anthony Wayne, founder of Chalky Talky.

I just wash them in the sink and let them dry. However, I did order an extra set because they are very slow drying! When they are totally dry they are just like new!

The labels come off pretty easily under hot water, you just have to peel/scratch them off. It took me less than a minute to get 2 off. And they come in a plain white white box that can be easily wrapped.

HI I usually plan ahead and make a bunch. Keeping them in ziploc bags. I will leave them overnight and then make another batch in the AM. Usually 12 is enough. I love them and they are a huge hit!! I have thought of trying to rinse and reuse but.....hmmmmm just don't know..lol

about 12-13 hours to air dry. I usually end up throwing them in the dryer in the morning for about 25-30 minutes on extra-high to finish drying them after about 8 hours on the drying rack.

Mine did not shrink and I've washed them a lot. However, I only use cold water.

I wash in hot water (no bleach, just Tide) and dry thoroughly and have not had any noticeable shrinkage. GREAT stain release! These are not designer kitchen towels, they're the WORKHORSE of commercial kitchens and should be he same in yours.
