Give it some time to dry completely or it will rub off easily. Once it is dry, it can be completely erased by rubbing your finger on it, or passing a tissue or damp cloth on it. The labels are reusable and go back to normal, so they're recyclable.
The main issue with these labels is that they don't adjust well to small round traditional preserve jars, because they aren't flexible enough to stick that way. So I had to put the ones that I use in the kitchen on the caps of my preserve and spices jars. No issue when I use them on flat surfaces. I would have loved a bit of variety in sizes, but that's me being picky.
