food labels

Food-storage labels are typically made from plastic (used for narrow printable tapes) and paper (used for white rectangular labels).

Many printable tapes are described as resistant to water, temperature changes, fading and household liquids; some specifically list microwave-, dishwasher- and freezer-resistance. Durability is presented as a product feature, so check individual product descriptions for exact claims.

Several products note split, easy-peel backings for straightforward application and damage-free removal. Paper rectangular labels are self-adhesive. Some user reviews also report adhesives that hold up well and print that isn’t easily removed for certain options.

Paper rectangular labels are easy to customize with pens or markers. Narrow printable tapes typically accommodate up to two lines of text, depending on font size.

The printable tape size shown is about 1/2" (12 mm) wide with a continuous length of roughly 13.1' (4 m).

Many labels have split, easy-peel backings for straightforward sticking and damage-free removal. Printable tapes often include a built-in cutter or dispenser for clean, smooth edges when trimming.
