Give your pantry a unique edge with my dictionary definition inspired canister labels.
Practical yet attractive, I designed these labels as a storage solution for identifying and organising my own pantry contents.
Each label is printed at 300dpi in matte black onto clear waterslide decal paper then sealed with a durable invisible ‘magic’ coating. This coating protects the decal making it scratch, heat and water resistant.
Labels can be successfully applied to substrates such as glass, ceramic, timber, plastic and metal, however please be aware that they may not adhere equally to all materials.
Labels are trimmed to approximate size prior to shipping.
A free ‘trial’ decal and application instructions are included.
NOTE: Unlike vinyl decals, waterslide decals have a fine transparent backing film. This is what allows for the transference of intricate graphics (such as fine text). As such, completed labels are framed by a barely visible clear box which virtually disappears upon filling of the canisters.
APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. Dampen the back of the decal paper (watermarked side) with a cloth until it becomes translucent. Wait around 15 seconds then gently peel the paper away completely.
Important: ensure you remove the watermarked decal paper only at this stage.
2. Quickly immerse the decal in a shallow dish of water to dampen the other side then position it, image side down, on your item, smoothing it down with your fingers and a slightly damp cloth to remove some of the excess water.
Important: don’t remove too much water at this stage. It provides slip and ensures the decal remains repositionable.
3. Carefully slide off the backing paper and manipulate the decal into its exact position then continue to smooth it until it is water and air bubble free.
Tip: work from the centre, out. Be patient and gentle. It takes a minute or so.
4. Finally, set the decal by either:
– Baking in an oven for 8 minutes at 150 degrees celsius (300 degrees fahrenheit).
– Cooking in a microwave for 5 minutes on low.
– Blowing with a hairdryer for 5 – 10 minutes.
CARE
Decals stick like glue to most substrates and set hard.
They are dishwasher resistant though hand-washing in warm soapy water is recommended.
They are heat resistant though avoiding very high temperatures is recommended.
Decals are not recommended for food-touch surfaces (such as on dinner plates or inside mugs).
Avoid abrasive cloths or harsh chemicals.
CUSTOM ORDERS
A ‘Custom Label’ is defined as a label which uses my existing template and a product name of your choosing (not already included in my pre-made selection). If you require customisation beyond this (i.e. size, colour, font, etc.) please contact me prior to purchase.
You simply need to provide the product name and subtitle (if applicable). Unless also provided, I will happily devise the definition on your behalf.
Specify your custom labels in the designated ‘Order Notes’ area on checkout.

All labels are made to order and sent via standard post (to maintain reasonable costs) from Australia. As such, please allow sufficient delivery time (approximately two-four weeks for international orders). I ship once weekly.
