I bought a roll expecting to be disappointed in these labels, but they fooled me! These labels are easy to write on with any kind of pen or a permanent marker. They stick readily to glass, metal, plastic, paper, etc. It's an easy task to remove a label from anything (except paper, of course.) Just scratch up a corner a bit, then rip it right off. We've even taken them off of plastic storage bags -- tho that's silly since we can just apply a new label over the old. Removing a label doesn't even leave adhesive residue!!! I use several labels a week, and I'm back for another roll of them.
