Our water bottle labels are very water proof and stand up perfectly in a cooler of ice that later turns to water. You can even run them under the water or soak them in water and they will not smudge. The water bottle labels will not come off in your hands nor will the ink. They are really water proof. Our wine labels and other bottle labels are also water proof. It is very important when you are serving water to your guest that the ink does not smear. There are many companies that in the small print will put that they are not water proof and are for decorative purposes only. Make sure that when looking for water labels you make sure they are water proof. Our water labels also have an adhesive backing so there is no need to use tape or glue and you will be assured that they will stay on. Just peel and stick. In some instances you may need to remove the original water label but this is very easy just pull them off. There is no need to remove all the glue residue. This will all be covered up with the new label.
To get the perfect size label you just need to measure the label that is currently on the bottle and chose a size similar or choose a size that will fit within the label area. A lot of times you can go with a little larger label. There are some labels that are only 1 inch tall but many of these bottles can actually take a 1 1/2 " tall label as long as it fits within the grooves. You want to make sure it fits within the groves so the water labels lay flat and do not gap. We do not over the 1 " labels because they are really to small to put much on them, but if you have a special need or circumstance we will be happy to accommodate you.
