- Con: Requires a specific wet-erase process, so initial staff training is essential.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Harbour View Bistro in Tenby was struggling with the daily grind of peeling and replacing soggy paper day-dots from their prep containers. They needed a more efficient and sustainable method to keep up with their busy seaside service.
"We were going through hundreds of disposable labels a week, which was both costly and messy. The PuraCycle SA491 system simplified everything overnight. The labels stay put, the writing stays clear, and our team can see what's what at a glance. It's just a cleaner, more professional way to work."
Robert Davies – Head Chef
The bistro eliminated its monthly spend on disposable labels and reported that kitchen prep closing duties are now 15 minutes faster each day.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Ensure the container surface is completely clean, dry, and free from any grease before application.
- Peel the label and apply it firmly to the container, smoothing out any air bubbles from the centre.
- Always use the supplied PuraCycle marker for best results and reliable erasing.
- Let the ink dry for a minute after writing to ensure it sets properly and resists moisture.
Keeping It Going
- To erase, simply apply firm, circular friction with the damp bamboo cloth or a sponge.
- Avoid using harsh chemicals or steel scourers, as this can damage the special writing surface.
- The labels are dishwasher safe, but remember to erase the ink first as the cycle will wash it off.
- Always store the marker with its cap on tight to prevent the specialised ink from drying out.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are the PuraCycle labels dishwasher safe?
A: The labels themselves are very durable and dishwasher safe. However, the wash cycle will remove the ink, so it's best to erase any writing before you put the container in the dishwasher.
Q: Can I use a regular whiteboard or permanent marker on these?
A: We strongly recommend using only the supplied PuraCycle marker. Its unique ink is designed to resist steam and cold while being easy to erase. Other markers may not work, could be permanent, or won't withstand kitchen conditions.
Q: How do I get the label off the container once it's stuck on?
A: The labels are designed for long-term adhesion but can be peeled off if needed. If any sticky residue is left behind, it can be removed with a standard adhesive cleaner.
Q: How long will the ink stay on the label?
A: Once dry, the ink will remain perfectly clear and legible indefinitely. It will only come off when you intentionally remove it using wet friction.
Q: Will condensation in the fridge make the ink run?
A: Not at all. The ink is specifically formulated to be resistant to condensation, steam, and even direct contact with water once it has properly set.
Q: Is the included bamboo cloth machine washable?
A: Yes, absolutely. The bamboo cloth can be washed and reused many times, making the entire kit exceptionally low-waste and cost-effective.
Q: What surface types do the labels stick to best?
A: They work brilliantly on most smooth, non-porous surfaces commonly found in kitchens, such as plastic food containers (like polycarbonate or polypropylene), stainless steel, and glass.
Q: Are the labels and marker food safe?
A: The labels are designed for external application on food containers, and the system helps you adhere to UK food safety standards for stock rotation. The marker ink is non-toxic.

Explore more from PuraCycleHow Does 'Wet-Erase' Ink Survive a Steamy Kitchen?
It sounds a bit like magic, but the science is wonderfully simple. Think of the PuraCycle marker ink like a specialised whiteboard marker designed for the toughest conditions. A normal dry-erase pen uses ink that smudges off with the slightest friction, which is no good in a bustling kitchen. PuraCycle's ink, however, is formulated to 'set' as it dries. Once set, it forms a durable layer that ignores moisture from steam, condensation, or even being submerged in water.
The secret is that it only breaks down with the combination of two things: water AND friction. A simple wipe with a damp cloth or sponge provides both, dissolving the ink and leaving a perfectly clean surface ready for reuse. This means it stays put when you need it to, but comes off easily when you want it to, all without leaving that frustrating sticky residue behind.
