Use and care
Stretch. Write. Wipe.
No adhesive, no peeling, no tape roll. One band does the labeling job for as long as the bottle is in rotation.
Step 01
Stretch it on.
Measure the outside diameter of the bottle, pick that size and roll the band into place. It grips by tension. Nothing to peel, nothing left behind.
Step 02
Write it.
Contents and date in the white writing window, in black oil-based paint marker. Let it dry before service.
Step 03
Wipe it. Write it again.
New contents? Wipe the writing off with isopropyl alcohol and relabel the same band. Light cosmetic ghosting can remain. That's normal wear, not a defect.
Step 04
Date it. Rotate it.
Write the fill date with the contents. Use the oldest first, then wipe and re-date at every refill. Follow your kitchen's date-marking procedures.
Step 05
Wash it with the bottle.

FAQ
Care, answered.
The questions kitchens ask before they swap out the tape.
How do I choose the right size?
Measure straight across the outside of the bottle where the band will sit, then pick the size whose range includes that number. Check your fit.
What marker should I use? Is one included?
Use a black oil-based paint marker. Markers aren't in the packs yet; Kitchen Bandits markers are coming soon. Colored oil-based ink can leave more visible ghosting. Marker guide.
How do I clean and rewrite the bands?
Wipe the writing off with isopropyl alcohol, let it dry, and write again. Light cosmetic ghosting can remain. That's normal wear, not a defect.
Can they go through the dishwasher?
Yes. The bands are dishwasher safe at commercial dishwasher temperatures, and the silicone is separately heat-safe to 450°F (232°C).
Will the bands leave sticky residue?
No. There's no adhesive. The band grips by tension and comes off clean.
Can I use a color for allergen-friendly bottles?
You can. Give one color that job so those bottles stand out on the line. The band supports your allergen process. It doesn't replace it.
