Re: Labeling bottles

[Arthur Entlich <artistic-1@xxxxxxx>]

I've used some transparent plastic labels designed for a laser printer, 
which fuse the toner to the plastic.  These have been used in 
environments requiring immersion in hot soapy water and survived well. 
But I don't know how well they would stick to the squeeze bottles, or if 
the adhesive is vulnerable to the solvents within the product you are 
using.  The other option might be to laminate something like an inkjet 
or laser printed output on paper on small labels, using a thin laminate 
(2 or 3 mil) and then adhere it with some quality wide transparent tape.

Lastly, you might find a permanent marker that will not bleed with the 
chemicals.  In general paints tend to crack of or not adhere on that 
type of flexible plastic, and you end up with a hand full of paint 
chips.  Latex paint usually can't handle adhering to anything that is 
non-porous and gets wet and flexed.
