If you have a stack of kids, clothes and stationery to label up iron on name labels are the answer. They are easy to apply you can iron them onto practically any fabric. In addition, they are relatively inexpensive to buy and provided you buy them from the right designer you can order them on-line which takes only a few minutes to do. The best retailers allow you to customise the labels, by adding other short additional text and pictures.
Tips for Applying Iron-on Name Labels
It is important to follow the instructions you receive with your iron-on name labels to the letter. Doing so will guarantee that the labels stay in place once applied.
Because the glue each manufacturer uses the temperature the iron has to be at varies. However, normally the temperature of the iron needs to be relatively high. If you are applying labels to manmade fibres like nylon or acrylic, you have to be careful not to melt the fabric whilst applying the label. You can get around this problem by placing the label on the fabric covering it with something like a cotton hankie or pillowcase then applying the iron.
To avoid the labels coming off try to iron them on a part of the clothing that is not in constant contact with the skin. For example, on a shirt at the bottom of the buttons section. There the label is protected, it is still hidden from sight, but is easy to find and read when you need to. Iron on name labels do not really itch, but you should still try to place them somewhere away from the skin if you can.
