A Simple Guide to Applying Name Labels on Clothing and More

Name labels are a lifesaver! Whether it's clothing, shoes, bags, or school supplies, properly applied labels ensure that items are easily identified and less likely to get lost. In this guide, we’ll explore the best ways to apply labels on various surfaces, ensuring they stay put through all the wear and tear of daily life.

How to Apply Name Labels to Different Surfaces

Applying name labels may seem straightforward, but each type of surface, clothing, shoes, tags, and bags, requires slightly different techniques to ensure the label stays on securely. By following the instructions from Labels4School, you'll guarantee that your labels remain durable and long-lasting.

Applying Name Labels on Clothing

For clothing, there are two main types of name labels: iron-on and stick-on. Both types are available from Labels4School, and each has its own benefits:

1. Iron-On Labels

   Iron-on name labels are perfect for clothing, as they are durable and withstand multiple washes. Here’s how to apply them:

• Preheat your iron to a medium setting, ensuring the steam function is turned off.
• Place the label onto the clothing item where you'd like it to stick, preferably in a location like the inside collar or waistband.
• Place a piece of parchment paper over the label and press the iron down for 8 to 10 seconds, applying firm pressure. Avoid moving the iron around.
• Allow the label to cool completely before handling the garment.

2. Stick-On Clothing Labels

   Stick-on labels are great for clothing tags and are ideal if you want a quick, no-iron option:

• Clean and dry the tag before applying the label.
• Peel off the backing from the stick-on label and firmly press it onto the tag. Ensure there are no air bubbles.
• Wait 24 hours before washing to allow the adhesive to set.

Labels4School provides both iron-on and stick-on name labels in a variety of styles and colours, offering a fun yet practical solution for parents.

Name Labels for Shoes

For shoes, you’ll need durable labels that won’t rub off with constant use. Here’s how to apply Labels4School’s shoe labels:

• Clean the inner sole of the shoe where you plan to apply the label. This ensures the adhesive sticks well.
• Peel the label and place it firmly on the inside of the shoe, avoiding any raised areas.
• Cover the label with a protective clear overlay provided with Labels4School shoe labels to enhance durability.
• Make sure to let the labels set for 24 hours before heavy wear.
