Grade labels

[JoeJ]

I have tried labels from VMSMA, Leader, and just last Saturday CDL. Saturday morning, I placed 10 CDL grade labels on 10 caps, 5 Amber and 5 Dark Robust. 24 hours later 6 of the 10 labels had peeled back. 90% of the VMSMA and Leaders labels peel back after a week. In January, I checked with another nearby sugar maker and he was having the same problem with the VMSMA labels. I have for a couple years put Elmers glue on the caps and then the grade sticker. That works, but it is a pain and I should not have to do that to make the labels stick. What is every one else doing? I can't be the only one having this problem.

Have you tried wiping the caps down with denatured or rubbing alcohol prior to attaching the labels?

He's right, they suck. We use the CDL ones and they will come off. Might try something from syruplabels.com next time we need some.

That is why we stopped buying from VMSMA. Got some coming from D&G. Design on them looks like one we have had better luck in the past we will see.
