Personalised clothing labels that bring clothes home
Every parent knows how often jumpers and hats go missing, and replacing them all year is expensive. A name label is the cheap fix: it puts your child's name in the garment, so it finds its way back.
Which kind of clothing label?
- Iron-on labels
School uniforms are usually cotton, polyester or a blend, and iron-on labels stick to all of them: the backing activates under a hot dry iron and holds through a cold-water wash. They are not suitable for nylon. - Satin sew-on labels
Printed on satin ribbon and stitched on by hand or machine. They go on any fabric and are safe in industrial washing machines. - Woven sew-on labels
The name is woven in thread, so it does not fade, and each label is heat-cut with sealed edges, so it never frays. Soft on the skin for kids' and adults' clothing alike — the first choice for boarding school and aged care. - Clothing stickers
Peel and stick onto the care tag, with no iron and no needle. Best for things washed rarely, like hats, ties and bags.
