Chalkboard Spice Labels Guide

Cohas spice jars labels come in many sizes and shapes. They have been specifically designed to fit the sides and tops of more than ten different popular spice jar brands and styles.

Always know which ingredient you’re reaching for! Because you can label both the sides and tops of the jars, you can see easily see what’s in the jar. Labels can be in view, regardless of whether the spice is high up in your cabinet or kept in a rack on your countertop.

Several spice jar sets come with glass jars and plastic or metal lids. The chalkboard spice jar labels can be used on any of these surfaces. They go on smoothly, allowing you to label your spices and organize your kitchen efficiently.

These spice jar labels can be used for other spice jars and purposes. The labels’ sizes are listed, allowing you to make sure the labels will fit your needs. Measure your spice jars and lids and compare to the sizes that are available to find the best fit for your jars. The labels can also fit many food, oil, and general storage containers. You can use them for wedding and party favors, in the classroom, or at the office.

Sizes to fit Every Spice Container

Select from kits with a marker or a refill kit with no marker. Kits that include a marker come with a premium semi-permanent waterproof marker or a permanent waterproof marker. The extra fine marker features a 0.5mm tip, perfect for creating super fine lines about 1/64 inches wide. The fine marker features a 1mm tip, perfect for creating thin lines about 1/32 inches wide.

The semi-permanent markers will not wash off with just water and require Windex or an ammonia based cleaner. Permanent markers will not wash off with water, but may be removed with isopropyl alcohol. This product is not recommended for children to use.

Refill kits come with labels only and no chalk marker. Waterproof marker is recommended for best results.

Using your Chalkboard Spice Jar Labels

Left 1/2 mm Chalk Marker – Right 1 mm Chalk Marker

Labels are easy to clean and reuse, and stick well to your glassware or containers. They also adhere to ceramics, wood, steel, aluminum, porcelain, plastics, or other smooth non-porous surfaces. Remove with gentle heat from a hair dryer. Labels and markers are not recommended for painted walls; use our removable Cohas Chalkboard System ChalkFlex for decorating your walls or painted surfaces.

Labels and marker are both dishwasher safe, ensuring you can label, wash, and reuse over and over again. The labels feature a permanent adhesive, so your jars and lids can go right into the sink or dishwasher without the fear of losing a label. The ink inside the included markers is waterproof, which means it won’t wash off with normal use and washing – even with soap! When using the refill kit, be sure to use a waterproof or permanent marker to get the same results.

Pre-clean your labels with Windex or a kitchen cleaner to ensure good adhesion of the chalk marker. Let dry before writing or drawing.

Cohas refill kits are available to provide more value and labels for your project. We recommended that Cohas kits with markers are used with these refill kits. Wet-Wipe markers will smear and the writing will come off when wet.

Chalkboard Label Tips

Always be sure to properly prime and store your waterproof marker. When your chalkboard spice jar labels and marker kit arrive, the marker will not be primed and the tip will be dry. Begin by shaking your marker well for one minute; as you do, you’ll hear a small ball inside the barrel. This is mixing the ink thoroughly, as some separation can occur during storage and transportation.

Remove the cap from your marker and hold it vertically, with the tip placed on a scrap piece of material. Push the marker down and hold for no more than 10 seconds. Release the tip to allow it come back out and check for ink. Repeat this process until the ink begins to flow. As needed, re-prime your marker on scrap material.

If your kit includes an extra fine tip 1/2mm marker, you’ll want to use extra care when priming. This marker has a special valve inside for priming. Do not pump the marker, as this will flood the valve and the marker will no longer work. Also, do not prime the marker while you are lettering or creating your design.  All Cohas chalkboard spice jar labels come with detailed instructions for use.

For demanding applications consider our permanent chalk markers, made in the USA.

Cohas Chalkboard Labels fit right onto the side and top of these airtight Kamenstein Spice Jars

This review and technical analysis is for the Kamenstein Heritage 16-Jar Revolving Countertop Spice Rack.  It comes with Free Spice Refills for 5 Years and is sold on Amazon and in other stores.

We ordered the 16-Jar Short tower to try our chalkboard labels on. Knowing that it would not come with the right spices or labels since we are big Indian and Mexican food fans, it would have made more sense to buy empty jars and fill with our own spices. But the compact tower caught our eye.

We were correct in that several of the spices we would not use, but the price, and especially the value even if we discarded all the spices, was worth more than what we paid for it.

I did find it odd that the Bay Leaves came all broken up in the jar. Who would do, or want that? When you use a bay leaf it is added to the sauce or gravy then fished out at the end. At least in all the cooking we do that is our method. But enough about the spices.

Technical details of the display and containers

We could not find all these answers on the Amazon catalog page or in the questions so I thought others may appreciate the information:

View of the Kamenstein Heritage 16-Jar Revolving Countertop Spice Rack with Cohas Brand Chalkboard LabelsStainless steel rack is 5 inches square and 11 inches tall. It rotates about the center on a plastic piece with ball bearings. It spins easy and is strong enough to handle the spices you put in it. The unit will take up a space on your counter 8 1/2 inches in diameter because the jars stick out a bit, just know that if your counter or cabinet area is tight.

The jars are 3 1/2 inches tall and 1 3/4 inches in diameter. They have plastic tops and plastic shaker inserts that you can remove if needed. The black plastic tops are a softer plastic and are not brittle like the lids of some spice jars. The reason this is important is because you can take out the plastic shaker insert and tighten it down the jar. I twisted it on as tight as I could (with big hands) and could not get the threads to strip or the top to crack. This is not the norm in this size and price range for spice jars.

Whoever put the printed labels on, never put them in the same place, and they are not centered. Since the label is gloss black, and so is the top, unless it is way off (many are) you do not notice it from a few feet away.

Chalkboard Labels

Our use involved the Cohas Brand labels and waterproof marker, so the labels on the jars were not important to us. We tried to remove them but they started to split in half with adhesive and paper on the top and the black label part we discarded. At that point we thought about soaking the tops in water overnight and cleaning them off completely. We did not, we just put on the Cohas Chalkboard Labels over the existing stickers.

Since we were going to use some of the spices, we made labels with the waterproof marker that comes in the Cohas Chalkboard Label kit. It has both the top round label and a label for the side of the jar. Especially helpful when you open two containers at the same time. Our kit was the Professional version, the 1/2 mm Chalk markKamenstein Spice Jar submerged in water proves it is airtight shown with Cohas Chalkbaord Label with 1mm writinger. It also comes in a 1mm version and would have worked fine with the size of the jar and label. I added a picture so you can see how they look in the rack. We lettered the stickers while they were on the sheet they come on. While you can do it after you put them on the jar or the cap, we find this easier.

The jars have a date code printed on the side. We covered that up with the side chalkboard labels in the Cohas Chalkboard Systems kit.

What do the jars hold?

Using table salt to measure we were able to put in 20 level teaspoons into each jar. We also put water in and found they hold 3.6 liquid ounces or 105ml of water. With tight tops, we submerged them, as shown in the photo, both with and without the plastic shaker top in water for 5 minutes. We did not have any leaks, showing that these jars are airtight.
