Label Itz Bandle Bottle Labels, Baby Time

My son's day care requires that we label all bottles every day with Name, Date, Contents and when it was prepared. I tried disolveable labels, mailing labels, filing labels and tape which all had me spending way too much time scrubbing the outsides of the bottles at night trying to get rid of the glue residue that they left, especially if they got wet at all. I was really excited when I found these, seemed like a great alternative to stick ons. Immediately I realized that the ink rubs off very easily. If you boil them once you write on them it stays permanently so I would highly suggest it if you don't need to change the information on them daily.

In theory, this is a fabulous idea. Write a name, boil band, and viola you have a personalized band with which you can then write the date and wipe off for the next day's labeling needs. We use them every day at day care to help to label our daughter's bottles. The smaller size is perfect for bottles compaired to the other "sippy cup" sized bands. The biggest down fall comes from when my day care re-heats her bottles. They emerse her bottle in hot water which unfortunately can then fix the date more permanently. But, we still use the bands and simply write the new date over the shadow of the old. Not perfect but still usable.

This is great to place on bottles to label when milk was expressed. I like how it is re-usable. I just label it and when it is time to wash the empty bottle I just rub my finger over the label and the ink rubs off. I found that if you stretch the rubber a little while rubbing the ink it comes off more cleanly. I love that I don't have to label bottles with masking tape anymore. This is a nice re-usable alternative to bottle labeling that works pretty well. I labeled it 4 stars because it doesn't fit well on smaller bottles like the thin Dr Brown 5 oz ones. Otherwise it fits on most other bottles.. I have medela and born free wide neck, and it fits on the Dr Brown 9 Oz. I bought two packages. It works great for daycare as well. The item got 4 stars because if you are not careful you could accidentally rub off the ink when you don't mean to, and the ink on the yellow band seems to not come off as cleanly as with the other two colors. But honestly, the flaws are not a big deal and for the price and the convenience it is worth it.

These work great for me and they are so much cheaper alternative to custom made bottle labels. What i like about these labels is that i can reuse them. I pump about 8 times a day and have about 40 bottles (20 5oz ans 20 8 oz). If i were to order custom labels, i would have spent about $60 dollars and i just refuse to pay that mount of money for a few pieces of paper.

I agree with other reviewers that the writting on the label fades (i used the permanent marker), but it is fine with me you can still read the name, which serves a purpose and meets daycare requirements. I also love that i will be able to reuse them for sippy cups.

I am not sure how others are able to make their ink permanent. I wanted to make my child's name permanent, so I tried several different inks in combination with boiling and/or running through the dishwasher. I imagined something like a shrinky dink, where the plastic was special and would retain the marks. Not so. Nothing changes about the plastic, and all my inks rub off. It wouldn't be too big a deal to rewrite her name every day, but the plastic is really difficult to write on with ballpoint pen, as I keep losing the ink flow. Sharpie is somewhat easier, but of course if the ink is going to rub off on me, sharpie is the last thing I want to use.

On the plus side, these are small enough for my Medela 4 oz bottles I bought this year (i.e., not the old skinny ones, the new wider ones). Make sure you buy the bottle Itz Bandles, not the "bottle and cup" Itz Bandles.
