Can the labels be used for kitchen container and be washed without coming off? What about running through a dishwasher?

I have canisters with labels on them. I have washed the canisters off, but not soaked them in water, and the labels remained adhered. I suspect that dishwashing, with the higher temperatures that dishwashers tend to use, might be more problematic, but I have never tried dishwashing any of our labeled items.

You shouldn't put anything with a sticky label in a dishwasher. You don't want it coming off and damaging your washer.

These are just plain ol' DYMO Labels. I use them on kitchen containers all the time. They hold up in the dishwasher, although over time I'm sure they would get ragged around the edges.

I have not tried that! I would suspect that the object with a label could be washed by hand without detaching. But, a dishwasher, my guess would be that it would depend on the item to which the label is affixed. I would think a plastic item with a smooth finish would not release the label. Smooth glassware or China... possible. These are my "guesses". Wish I could be of more assistance with your question.

The label suggested hand washing but don't worry, the clean-up so easily, it's almost a pleasure. You don't want to crack the ceramic coating from the changes in temperature that a dishwasher goes through, it'll effect the non-stick quality and expose your food to the underlying metal. That might not be a nutritional issue...but, if your using these to avoid excess exposure to environmental toxins, why even take the risk?

I have not tried sticking these on plastic, but I don't see why they would not. They are sticking fast onto my glass jars which are going through the dishwasher, and being hand washed, repeatedly with no lifting or signs of wear.

I have not used these in a dishwasher. However, I use them on plastic pots in a commercial greenhouse. They are subject to daily watering, winter freezing, etc and they stay on and readable for several years. So I would think they would be fine in a dishwasher.

I imagine you can put them in the dishwasher, though I have not done so. The smallest one would fit in my dishwasher, but not the larger ones. They are extremely easy to hand wash, everything slides off with little effort.

I didn't order tape from this site, but yes, if it's the brother TZ laminated tape it has been dishwasher safe in my dishwasher. I labeled some Tupperware a few years ago, and surprisingly, after many runs through the dishwasher all of the labels have held on tight without any peeling edges.

I wouldn't try to use them in the dishwasher. The plastic is equivalent to disposable plastic containers. it looks like they might warp. As I want to use them with as good a seal as they can get, i don't want warpage.

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.

Yes - on a glass, metal or plastic container there should be no problem removing the labels. On paper or cardboard it would be difficult.

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 never tried that and have not noticed any label indicating dishwasher safety. I use Simple Green spray, then rinse well with water.

We use these in our lab on our chemical bottles that go in the fridge and they work fine for that, but I can't anwer your question about the labels getting washed because we don't do that. We are pleased with them and they work well for us. Hope this helps a little. Have a good evening!

They are NOT to go in the dishwasher. I found that out after I had purchased them. The colors are lovely but they are smaller than I would have liked.

I'm sure they would be fine in the top rack of a dishwasher. I have not put them in the dishwasher. I got enough in the pack to use them as a disposable container. They would also clean easily with a little hot soapy water.

The package I have says, "surface clean with a damp sponge or cloth. Not dishwasher safe." Seems like they could withstand the top rack of a dishwasher, but maybe it's the heat that isn't good for them?

I don't put them in the dishwasher . Still good enough. It looks like printed on it.
