Dissolvable kitchen labels depend on the stock you choose.
The roll is the material. InstaLabel prints the label onto the stock your printer takes. Check the manufacturer's instructions, the printer, and the surface before you rely on a dissolvable label.
Check before you buy
Printer fit
Confirm the print method, width, roll and media sensing with the stock supplier.
Application
Test the label on the actual container and in the conditions where it will be used.
Removal
Follow the specified removal method, temperature and time. Software does not change how the material behaves.
The software creates the layout. The stock determines the material behaviour.
InstaLabel prepares the information to print. Whether a label dissolves, withstands moisture or removes cleanly depends on the stock, adhesive, application and washing conditions. Do not choose a material based only on the software you use.
Match the material to its intended use.
| Stock category | What to check with the supplier |
|---|---|
| Dissolvable | Specified removal method, temperature and time; moisture exposure during use; suitable printer type |
| Removable | Residue, surface compatibility and how removal changes over time |
| Permanent | Adhesion and suitability where the label must remain attached |
| Specialist freezer or moisture-resistant stock | Stated temperature range, application conditions and compatible printing method |
These are selection questions, not specifications for a product sold by InstaLabel.
Check the roll before buying in quantity.
Confirm the print method, label width and length, roll/core dimensions, media sensing and any required printer settings. Then test the stock on the actual container and in the conditions where it will be used.
