Sew In, Iron On and Stikins Comparison

School Name Labels Information, Facts and Advice

NAME LABELS HISTORY
We have been supplying name labels for 6 years. Our Stikins® name label products were developed by Label Planet in 2003. They simply stick onto the wash care label of school uniforms and school clothes, no sewing in or ironing on is required. Millions of these labels are now in use and we receive many re-orders from parents. The new and improved Stikins® are a recent addition this year. They are as effective as the original ones but without the need of a special ‘H’ shape to secure themselves into the garment wash-care label.

IRON ON LABELS
Some iron on labels are now very good but equally some are useless, the problem for parents is that all suppliers will say their labels are good, and there is no way of knowing until the labels are in a washing machine what the quality is like. Hot irons and children do not mix, so attaching iron on labels will be a job for adults. Label Planet’s Stikins® labels can be applied by older children, Stikins® are also easier and much more convenient to use. Many parents tend to find that iron on labels come off in the wash.

SEW ON LABELS
Sew on labels are usually very nice looking and can be bought in a range of colours, fonts and sizes from some very good companies. For parents who have the time to sew labels in, or can pay somebody else to sew them in, sew on name labels are a good durable solution.
For non-sewers, busy parents or large families, sew in labels can be a nightmare.

LAUNDRY MARKER PENS
You can simply write in your child’s name with a laundry marker pen, if your child’s name is short or can be easily abbreviated this can be a good cheap solution. The problem is that many garment tags do not leave any space for writing a name. The result may not look particularly good, and may fade away. Also children like to see their own names in full rather than an abbreviated version. The full name is also good for children who are learning to recognise their name. Stikins® print is high quality, and extremely easy to read.
