seeking ink recommendation for plastic spray bottles

[tattooman]

Hello friends.


I've started mixing my own stuff in spray bottles. The problem though is that regular sharpie markers don't last very long on the plastic bottles, the ink doesn't want to stay on or "stick" very well on the plastic. So my question is how do you guys mark your bottles ? Do you use a different kind of marker with an ink chemistry that's more compatible with plastic spray bottles ?

Thanks

I’m not sure why Sharpies not staying on your bottles.. For me they work great and last forever. The only way I can remove it is with a Magic Eraser.



They last on these bottles too.

Hmmm, that is interesting. I might be doing something wrong if that isn't working for me. I'll try again with a new sharpie, and clean the plastic bottle first with alcohol to remove any film that might be left over from the manufacturing process.

Make sure you’re giving it a few minutes to dry before you start messing with it.

Sharpie offers an industrial marker. It’s labeled as Super Permanent Ink. They state that-

Specially formulated ink for industrial, laboratory, and commercial use

Remains permanent under most chemical washes and extreme heat and steam (up to 500° F)

I would try marking them empty. If u have already filled them the make sure the bottle and solution r room temp. As not to cause condensation on the bottle cause the shrapie not to set and easily be removed

I put blue painters tape on them and write on that. If the tape overlaps it'll stick to itself and stay put until you don't want it to. Allows me to change what's in the bottle going forward.

Write labels as usual, give it a moment to dry, cover with clear packing tape.

I use a label maker like visitor, one label on the side and one on top of the spray nozzle.

Believe it or not Amazon still carries the old DYMO embossed label maker for $6.
