When it comes to making homemade products such as jams and preserves, glass jars are a great solution - if only the labels could be removed. Some jarred products have a label that comes off relatively easily: either the whole label can be removed without a trace, or the glue is water-soluble and the label comes off after soaking. But some jars have labels that are virtually impossible to remove. Wouldn't it be time to standardize label adhesives so that jars can be reused?
Hello Enr1co, thank you for your message about the labels on our glass jars. We're sorry that they don't always come off easily. Please let us know which products are difficult to remove. We will then inform the relevant departments. Best regards, Richi

Hello Enr1co, thank you for your message. Each supplier works with different machines and materials. It can happen, for example, if the label is stored in the warehouse for longer than expected, or due to various external influences such as light or temperature, that the glue on the label dries out and is then difficult to remove. The difficulty also lies in finding the right balance between a label that will hold properly and one that will peel off easily. Suppliers are well aware of this problem. That's why they use top-quality glue with appropriate additives. We recommend that you apply a little oil (edible or body oil) to the label or glue residue, leave it to work and then wipe it off with a cloth. You can also heat the glue first with a hair dryer to soften it, so that the label can be removed more easily. Our Potz Expert adhesive remover, available in our supermarket assortment, or Klebex adhesive remover can also be used to remove glue residues. Rest assured that we are constantly working to optimize our glue composition. Best regards, Tabea
