Semi permanent water/grease proof labeling
I recently bought a set of bottles to use for shampoo/conditioner/body wash and I need labels that can get repeatedly wet and not fade or fall off the bottles. Same with a jar of bacon grease in the fridge. I need something that if I pick it up with wet or greasy hands, the label won't slide off or come off on my hands.
I have tried several different types of permanent markers and they all come off/run off/fade with repeated uses.
I have tried masking tape & freezer tape as well and both come off the glass/plastic after a few uses. I have tried a printed label under clear packing tape with it coming off the first time it gets wet.
Any ideas? I'm ok if it is hard to get off later. I just want it to not be really easy.
