I see from the reviews that the labels stay on well. My question is Can you remove them if you want to? Or is there a lot of adhesive left behind? Thanks in advance!

Never tried to remove them on purpose, but on the very few items they fell off there were no residues at all.

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.

I have reused the labels repeatedly without taking them off, but when I have taken them off, I have had no trouble with removal or sticky residue. I have had mine for 2 or 3 years and am still able to erase and reuse them. Good luck, I think you will be happy with them!

I've not seen any adhesive left on containers and we remove these and reapply them on nearly a daily basis. They have there limits (won't stick to cold stuff or anything with condensation on it) but I've been pleasantly surprised. Hope that helps.

Hello, Sorry i never tried to remove one. I'll let you know when i try it. These are the best sticking labels I've ever owned. Have others and They come off after a year sanitizing in the dishwasher every other day (my highest respect to these labels as well), but the Jokari still look like new.

These labels do have adhesive backing. They can be peeled off and reused if you do not stretch them to bad.

I'm not an adhesive expert, but they seemed like normal labels to me. I would assume they will stick to a fabric box, but not if it's dusty, and probably won't stay on over time. I've got them on smooth canisters, so I can't say for certain.You might try using a brad at the corners, if you don't mind poking a hole in the fabric.

Yes, I've never had a problem with labels sticking. You can also write in them easily with a pen if you have to.

I didn't find it particularly difficult to get the labels off. Just slip your finger nails underneath the label to remove it. If you find it particularly tough, try running hot water over the label to remove it and make sure to always wash with soap all cooking items before cooking with them. Good luck!

I have only had them on for about 8(ish) months but they peel off just fine. The walls that they are stuck on was just painted a year and a half ago and when repositioning I haven't seen any damage the walls what so ever. The adhesive is very passive - enough to stick on the wall but not *too* sticky. However, I'd have to get back to you on the "several years" part - maybe someone else will pipe up?

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.

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.

I use Brother's label maker (they are adhesive on one side) on these and then they last forever if I want them to. If I want to put on a different label I just put the new one over the old one. It's the only system that has worked for me.

Just got my 2nd one a few weeks ago, and the overly large label is still there, however, it seems to be made out of some kind of thin plasticy material, and while it took some effort, once I got it going, it did peel off in one piece, and with no residue left behind. All-in-all, I really like these canisters.

Hello! I have reused several containers of frozen stock and the labels peeled off perfectly even after being in the freezer. I've read some reviews that say if you get the labels wet they leave some residue. I don't get them wet I simply put them on a dry lid and pop them in the freezer and when I take out the stock from the freezer I peel the label right off with no problem. I hope this answers your question!

I just tried it to answer your question. I put the label on a regular white envelope and tried to peel it off. (I had rubbed it on really good to test this, but it was only on for a few seconds) It came off perfectly. It did not pull up any of the envelope. I was also able to stick it back on the envelope fine. :-)

I love the labels but they will leave a bit of a residue and some of the paper tag depending on the material. The Avery clear labels are a little more money but they do not leave paper behind and most of the time they do not leave residue. I have had a few leave residue becasue the plastic they were on got hot and when it cooled the adhesive stuck to the plastic. Under normal storage conditions there was no sticky issues.

I use these labels on glass wine bottles and they adhere pretty good. They are pretty tough to remove from my glass bottles but I don't do it too often. I think if you were going to do this in bulk I would soak the bottles in a vinegar solution which would help make removing them an easier task. I recently learned that there are reusable plastic / vinyl labels you can buy with a custom design. You should be able to find them with a little Googling. This might be better for your purpose as they would be easily removable and you could reuse the label too.

While I can't say that the adhesive is "as strong as USPS labels," I've used these for a long time (several years), and they adhere very well. I've never had an issue with any of them.

I use these labels on cardboard boxes and they tend to peel off fairly easy. Not sure if that information helps or not.

They are adhesive labels, once on the package for more than a minute or two, they will not come off. They are paper so they will dissolve with water.
