The word from Osaka, Japan, is that Suntory Ltd., working with Kotobuki Seihan Printing Co. , has developed a label that can be easily peeled off glass bottles by hand. Asia Pulse reports that the label is highly water-resistant and will stay on the bottles that are refrigerated or put in vending machines.

Suntory is using the label on some bottles of Dekavita C, a vitamin-enriched carbonated soft drink. Suntory plans to use the label on other bottled soft drinks and liquors.
