They do make some special "laboratory" Sharpies with a different and more durable ink, but I can't find that one and haven't tried it yet on my syrups. The polyester labels are very tenacious, fortunately it's rare that I have to change labels. When I do I can either apply a new label over the top, or I can peel the label off and any glue which remains can be taken off with Goof Off solvent, or by using the old label to pull off whatever remains behind. Lots of ideas in this thread. My solution seems to be the most expensive -- you have to buy a pack of polyester labels. But you have complete control over layout, logos, and fonts and you can crank 'em out very quickly to your heart's content.
