Frequently Asked Questions about Labels
What is the difference between Iron On and Stick On Clothing Labels?
Iron On Clothing Labels are a permanent transfer that embeds into the weave of the fabric. The flexible material allows it to move and stretch with the fabric, essentially becoming a part of the garment. Iron On Clothing Labels are safe for the washing machine and dryer.
Stick On Clothing Labels are a temporary solution made from woven material, with glue adhesive on the back. Simply peel off the backing and stick the label on your garment (ideally to the tag or care label). To make this a longer lasting solution you can iron the label down, which will cause the glue to melt and bind to the fabric. Alternatively, you could sew it to the garment. This will make it safe for the washing machine and dryer.
Multi Use Labels are a fabric label with a sticky backing that can be used on just about anything. It’s safe for the washing machine, dryer, microwave and dishwasher. Stick to clothing and fabric for a temporary label, or make it permanent by ironing or sewing to the garment. These are great if you need to label camp bedding, towels or school uniforms in a hurry. You can rest assured the label will stay put until you have time to iron or sew it on. These labels can also be used on food containers, lunchboxes, books and other hard surfaces, making them the perfect all-rounder.
There are a couple of ways to add extra details like address, phone number, email or a medical condition. Address Labels – Basic have space for four lines of text, and each line can fit up to 25 characters. Choose a font, colour and enter your desired text. These are perfect for use in the Home office and for a quick Return to Sender label for letters and invitations. Address Labels – Designer have the same amount of space, however you can also choose a cute design icon to appear on the label. Both of these labels allow you to choose your preferred font.
Please note, these are a paper label so they aren’t safe for the dishwasher.
For a vinyl-coated label that’s safe for the microwave and dishwasher, try a Custom Text Label. You’ve got 5 lines of text with space for 25 characters on each line to personalise any way you choose. If you’re looking for a fully customisable sticker label, this is the answer. Great for highlighting allergies, especially for items in the kitchen, or for people with long addresses to use on their luggage.

Basic Custom Text Labels are a fully customisable sticker label. You’ve got 5 lines of text to add your own information. Great for highlighting allergies, with plenty of space to add further details of your child’s allergy (particularly if it’s not a food allergy) home address, phone number and the number of your local GP or emergency contact. Allergy Bag Tags cover the same range of common allergies and attach to the handle or zipper of a backpack, luggage or sports bag like a key ring. These can be personalised with a first name and surname.

* A dimpled or rough finish can allow water to get under the label in the dishwasher, causing it to become unstuck. We recommend that you stick your labels to a clean and smooth surface to get the very most from your labels.
Once applied do not wash the item for at least 48 hours to allow the label time to bond. For best results hand wash only. ** For best results in a washing machine and dryer, iron and sew down labels.
