    Hi there,

    While I would like to invest in having a logo and labels professionally made, it is not quite in my budget right now.

    But what I would like to do is stick on a blank white label that would not be bothered by water or use, that could be written on in maybe sharpie or dry erase so writing could be replaced with each batch.

    Anyone use or know if any product that fits this description? If I could find it locally (Michaels, Walmart, etc) that would be preferred.

    Thanks!!

    Check out one of the newer vinyl label companies like Grog Tag. They have both generic and custom reusable bottle labels you can write on and erase.

    Dry erase would smear with moisture. Sharpie is permanent. They make labeling paper that will work in a printer. Moisture will make ink jet ink run.

    Other than that - Sharpie on the cap....

    Check these out. Watch the video as he demonstrates using Dry Erase or a paint pen. He says the paint pen can be removed with rubbing alcohol.

    Thank you all, these are pretty much exactly what I was looking for. I think the Grog Tag is a much better deal.

    I have also found that most Sharpie ink can be removed with rubbing alcohol. (IsoPropyl Alcohol, don't get your IPA's mixed up. :drunk:). There is (or used to be) a "super" permanent variety of Sharpie that may not have been removable with alcohol. Test before writing on all your labels.

    Brew on :mug:

    Acetone will remove sharpie ink (basic colors not tested on the metallic inks)
