Moving to aged care soon? Do you know that you need to label all your clothes so that they can be identified after laundry? Worried there is not enough time to get the labels? We can print and post your aged-care labels as soon as tomorrow, which leaves you time to label the clothes without rushing.

Below is a hand-picked list for anyone going into a nursing home or respite care, from iron-on and sew-on labels to shoe labels and address stickers.

Labels that survive the care laundry

Aged-care facilities require every garment labelled before admission — and commercial laundries wash hotter, harsher and more often than any home machine. Biro on a care tag is gone in a week. Our woven sew-on labels are the first choice: they are made for industrial machines and hot-water washes, and they last a lifetime. Satin sew-on labels are the next option. Iron-on labels are easier to apply and many facilities do use them, but they are meant for a cold-water wash, so they are the last resort for a commercial laundry rather than the first.

Labelling a whole wardrobe

With a dry iron set to wool or cotton and the steam off, a 40-piece wardrobe takes well under an hour. Use large, high-contrast text — laundry staff sort hundreds of garments a shift. Label linen, hats and glasses cases too.
