Dissolvable labels are ideal for reusable containers that will be washed regularly or for containers with constantly changing contents or expiration dates. In this article, we&#8217;ll share some of the most popular ways to use dissolvable labels and where to buy them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"\/blank\/material\/white-matte-dissolvable-labels\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Avery blank dissolvable labels by the sheet<\/a> work with both laser and inkjet printers and are available in a wide variety of shapes and sizes. You can also buy the labels in our popular <a href=\"\/products\/labels\/usage\/all-labels?filters=material_Dissolvable%20Paper\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">retail packs<\/a>. The labels can all be printed and then written on with a ballpoint pen, pencil, or permanent marker, making them perfect for the food and medical industries. They don&#8217;t require any soaking and wash away easily in the sink or dishwasher with no clumps of paper to clog drains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-are-dissolvable-labels-eco-friendly\">Are dissolvable labels eco-friendly?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The easy answer to this is yes!<a href=\"\/blank\/material\/white-matte-dissolvable-labels\"> Avery dissolving labels<\/a> are water-soluble. They can also help in the recycling of PET plastics because they wash away completely without any adhesive residue.  Since they&#8217;re made from materials that dissolve in water, they can reduce waste and pollution, and also help to conserve resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-kitchen-container-labels\">Kitchen container labels<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"h-restaurants-often-use-labels-that-dissolve-for-food-rotation-and-storage-they-wash-away-in-industrial-dishwashers-without-leaving-residue-on-the-containers-or-in-the-machines-they-are-also-great-for-home-use-you-can-label-plastic-containers-to-track-the-freshness-of-what-s-inside-then-simply-wash-the-container-and-use-it-again\">For home use and professional kitchens, labels that dissolve from containers are ideal for food prep and storage. They&#8217;re great for labeling glass or plastic containers with freshness dates for new food as well as leftovers. Then easily wash them away in the dishwasher or by hand with no residue left in the machine or on the containers.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"h-restaurants-often-use-labels-that-dissolve-for-food-rotation-and-storage-they-wash-away-in-industrial-dishwashers-without-leaving-residue-on-the-containers-or-in-the-machines-they-are-also-great-for-home-use-you-can-label-plastic-containers-to-track-the-freshness-of-what-s-inside-then-simply-wash-the-container-and-use-it-again\">Restaurants often use labels that dissolve for their food rotation.  Dissolvable kitchen labels are useful for labeling perishable foods with expiration dates. For home, if you\u2019re labeling meal-prep containers or canning jars, you know how difficult it can be to clean the containers when finished.&nbsp;<a href=\"\/blog\/printable-designs-for-custom-meal-prep-labels\/\">Check out our meal prep label designs<\/a> to make meal prep more fun. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Medical facilities<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Labels that dissolve are great for tracking and identifying medical devices, lab samples, and equipment, as well as for labeling medication and other products. Medical packaging is another ideal use where the labels can highlight expiration dates and other important information. They are also a great time-saving solution for temporarily labeling multiple reusable surfaces and containers, including bottles, vials,  plasticware, and medical instruments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Daycare and school<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Parents with kids know everything needs a label or it gets lost. Dissolvable labels are awesome for sending food, snacks, and supplies to daycare and school. They&#8217;re perfect for things like food containers, bottles, and sippy cups that you can easily wash away so you\u2019re ready to go for tomorrow. Wish we could say the same for those stained clothes, though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-gifting\">Gifting<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Talented bakers and Pinterest fanatics know that half of the gift may be in the wrapping. And if you\u2019re giving your gift in a container that the giftee can reuse, a dissolving label is perfect. A fun personalized label that is easy to remove can make the jar, bottle, or box easy to enjoy again. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Items that come in beautiful reusable containers like candles are a perfect example of this. Or if you sell or gift your homemade goodies in pretty jam jars, using labels that wash away is a perfect solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-in-conclusion\">In conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>So whenever you&#8217;re putting a label on something you want to be able to use again without scrubbing and scraping off the old label, then <a href=\"\/blank\/material\/white-matte-dissolvable-labels\">Avery dissolvable labels<\/a> are the way to go.

I covered everything from the LA riots and LA Raiders to flash floods and red carpet movie premieres\u2014basically, the usual glamorous stuff. Later, at The Los Angeles Times, I spent more than a decade covering college, professional and high school sports. I kept my NBA ties strong by working in PR for their summer league and writing for NBA.com. I also spent 9 unforgettable New Year's Days working in the press box for Rose Bowl games. When the newspaper industry started crumbling, I transitioned into covering commercial real estate\u2014until the recession came along and crashed that party too. (Honestly, that was probably a blessing. Writing about cap rates, capital stacks, bridge loans, and mezzanine loans was giving me a serious case of brain fog.) Enter Avery, swooping in to save the day. Now, I\u2019ve been with Avery for almost 15 years, where I\u2019ve been able to put my writing experience to use in new ways. I write website content, marketing emails, and blog posts\u2014basically, all the words that help businesses and consumers figure out how to label their stuff. When I\u2019m not glued to a screen, I\u2019m out exploring the desert landscapes around Las Vegas\u2014whether it\u2019s hiking (walking) through Red Rock Canyon, cooling off at Mt. Charleston, or making the trek to Area 51 (because who doesn\u2019t love a good conspiracy?). I avoid the Strip unless there\u2019s a rock band I can\u2019t miss or I have friends in town. At home, I enjoy cooking, playing with my furry friends and figuring out how to garden in the desert (spoiler: it\u2019s a lot harder than it sounds).\",\"sameAs\":[\"http:\\\/\\\/www.avery.com\",\"www.linkedin.com\\\/in\\\/melanieneff\",\"mneff@avery.com\"],\"knowsAbout\":[\"labels\",\"stickers\",\"sports\",\"real estate finance\"],\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.avery.com\\\/blog\\\/author\\\/mneff\\\/\"}]}<\/script>\n<!-- \/ Yoast SEO Premium plugin. -->","yoast_head_json":{"title":"Ways to Use Dissolvable Labels - Avery Blog","description":"Learn the most popular ways our customers use dissolvable labels.

I covered everything from the LA riots and LA Raiders to flash floods and red carpet movie premieres\u2014basically, the usual glamorous stuff. Later, at The Los Angeles Times, I spent more than a decade covering college, professional and high school sports. I kept my NBA ties strong by working in PR for their summer league and writing for NBA.com. I also spent 9 unforgettable New Year's Days working in the press box for Rose Bowl games. When the newspaper industry started crumbling, I transitioned into covering commercial real estate\u2014until the recession came along and crashed that party too. (Honestly, that was probably a blessing. Writing about cap rates, capital stacks, bridge loans, and mezzanine loans was giving me a serious case of brain fog.) Enter Avery, swooping in to save the day. Now, I\u2019ve been with Avery for almost 15 years, where I\u2019ve been able to put my writing experience to use in new ways. I write website content, marketing emails, and blog posts\u2014basically, all the words that help businesses and consumers figure out how to label their stuff. When I\u2019m not glued to a screen, I\u2019m out exploring the desert landscapes around Las Vegas\u2014whether it\u2019s hiking (walking) through Red Rock Canyon, cooling off at Mt. Charleston, or making the trek to Area 51 (because who doesn\u2019t love a good conspiracy?). I avoid the Strip unless there\u2019s a rock band I can\u2019t miss or I have friends in town. At home, I enjoy cooking, playing with my furry friends and figuring out how to garden in the desert (spoiler: it\u2019s a lot harder than it sounds).","sameAs":["http:\/\/www.avery.com","www.linkedin.com\/in\/melanieneff","mneff@avery.com"],"knowsAbout":["labels","stickers","sports","real estate finance"],"url":"https:\/\/www.avery.com\/blog\/author\/mneff\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.avery.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16340","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.avery.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.avery.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.avery.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.avery.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=16340"}],"version-history":[{"count":19,"href":"https:\/\/www.avery.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16340\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":23709,"href":"https:\/\/www.avery.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16340\/revisions\/23709"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.avery.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/16899"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.avery.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=16340"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.avery.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=16340"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.avery.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=16340"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
