From ALAN HOARE
A German firm, Wenko, markets a label remover through Lakeland Plastics,
but the yoghurt manufacturer Onken solves this problem by using an adhesive
which allows its labels to be removed with no difficulty and leaves no stickiness
behind. This enables the containers, which are dishwasher proof, to be used
for many purposes.
I wish other manufacturers would follow suit as I have numerous items
such as garden furniture permanently disfigured by adhesive.
