Step 2. Apply the Label 

Step 2. Apply the Label 

· Use the image reference.

· Our patented waterlock technology is activated by applying the center of the label first.

· Apply outward pressure from the center, minimizing air bubbles or folds.

· Tip: It can take a few tries to get the perfect, 500-use seal

· Our patented waterlock technology is activated by applying the center of the label first.

· Apply outward pressure from the center, minimizing air bubbles or folds.

· For maximum hold, allow 24-48 hours in a dry environment for the adhesive to form a full waterlock with the bin.

· To avoid delays, apply your labels before closing to allow the adhesion to fully "set" overnight.

Step 3. Write on the Label

Step 3. Write on the Label

· Write on the label with the cooperatively engineered Puracycle Foodservice Marker.

· The ink stays on through steam, freezing water, steam, condensation, and boiling water, but erases evenly in the dishroom with friction.
