Product Overview

Here’s a brilliantly simple solution to one of the kitchen’s biggest headaches: food rotation and  allergen labelling.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Copper Kettle Café in York was struggling with their food labelling. Their paper stickers would constantly peel off in damp fridges, and  the ongoing cost of buying new rolls was becoming a noticeable expense. They needed a more reliable system to manage allergens effectively.

"We were going through hundreds of paper labels a week. They’d get damp, become unreadable, and  it was a genuine safety concern. The PuraCycle system sorted it overnight. It's robust, clear, and  has made our kitchen much safer."

David Chen – Head Chef

The café has now reduced its annual label spend by over 90% and  has completely eliminated mislabelling incidents during busy services.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Ensure container surfaces are clean, dry, and  free from grease before applying the label.
  • Press the label on firmly, smoothing from the centre outwards to remove any air bubbles.
  • Use the provided PuraCycle marker and  allow the ink to dry for a few moments before handling.

Keeping It Going

  • To erase, simply use a wet cloth, sponge, or the included bamboo cloth and  apply firm friction.
  • The labels are fully dishwasher safe for their entire rated lifespan of approx. 500 cycles.
  • Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive steel wool directly on the label's surface.
  • Always store the marker with its cap on tight to prevent the ink from drying out.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Food Labelling System

Not sure if this is the right fit for your kitchen? Here’s a quick guide to help you decide.

Assess Your Allergen Risk

If you handle multiple allergens, a dedicated, colour-coded system like this is non-negotiable for safety, compliance, and  peace of mind.

Calculate Your Current Spend

Work out how much you spend on disposable labels per year. The long-term savings with a reusable system are often huge and  immediate.

Consider Your Green Credentials

For businesses looking to improve their sustainability, eliminating the constant waste from single-use paper labels is a significant and  easy win.

Check Your Environment

Do your labels need to withstand freezers, steam tables, or condensation? Standard paper fails here; these are specifically designed for it.

Think About Kitchen Workflow

A permanent label that just needs rewriting saves your team precious time compared to the daily faff of peeling off old labels and  applying new ones.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Will these labels stick to any container?

A: They are designed to adhere best to smooth, non-porous surfaces like plastic (e.g. gastronorm pans), stainless steel, and  glass.

Q: Can I use a standard whiteboard marker on them?

A: No, for the ink to be waterproof and  durable, you must use the supplied PuraCycle marker pen.

Q: How do you get the writing off?

A: It's easy. Just apply wet friction with a sponge, scourer, or the included bamboo cloth. No chemicals are needed.

Q: Are the labels really dishwasher safe?

A: Absolutely. They are designed and  tested to withstand approximately 500 commercial dishwasher cycles without peeling or degrading.

Q: What makes the marker vegan-friendly?

A: The ink formula and  its components have not been tested on animals at any stage.

Q: Why is the purple colour important?

A: In the UK and  Europe, purple is the widely recognised industry-standard colour for identifying allergens, helping to prevent cross-contamination.

Q: How big are the labels?

A: They feature a 20% larger design compared to many standard labels, improving visibility in a fast-paced kitchen environment.

Q: Will the ink run if the container gets wet in the fridge?

A: Not at all. The ink is specially formulated to resist condensation, steam, and  even direct contact with boiling or freezing water once dry.

What Customers Are Saying

"Fantastic bit of kit. The pen writes clearly and  the labels just don't come off in the wash. Makes life so much easier and  our EHO was impressed."

Laura H. – The Little Deli, Bristol

"A brilliant solution for our colour-coded food allergy labels system. They stick to plastic, metal, everything. Highly recommend this allergen label pack."

Tom Richards – Hotel Chef, Manchester

How Do These Labels Survive 500 Washes?

Ever wondered how these labels can be so tough yet so easy to clean? Think of each one as a tiny, high-tech sandwich, engineered specifically for the kitchen. The bottom layer is a super-sticky, waterproof adhesive that clings to your containers through hot washes and  deep freezes. The middle layer is a special synthetic paper that won’t tear or turn to mush when wet. The magic is in the top layer: a unique film that allows the special marker ink to bond to it securely, but releases that same ink when you apply a bit of wet friction. It’s not magic, just clever material science that solves a real-world kitchen problem.
