Iron-on/Sew-in Label Information
How do I apply my iron-on labels?
- Pre-heat iron to COTTON. Do NOT USE STEAM Setting. Wait until the iron gets hot.
- Apply labels to CLEAN, thoroughly DRY garments only. (Labels applied to soiled or damp garments will not adhere properly).
- If you have a stretchy material, it may require a stitch at each end (to keep it from stretching in this area) to avoid the label being separating from the clothing.
- Cover the label with a THIN, DRY pressing cloth (a cloth is included with your order) or handkerchief.
- FIRMLY press heated iron on pressing cloth for 20 SECONDS to allow the adhesive to melt. Simply press the iron, do not move it back and forth.
- Verify your application time and iron temperature. Allow the garment and label to cool to room temperature. Try to peel the label off with your fingernail, if it peels, your iron is not hot enough. Press for another 15-20 seconds and/or turn the heat setting up on the iron one notch. All irons are different and you may need to use the highest setting. You can also try ironing the fabric first to heat it up, and then press the label for 15-20 seconds.
- Do not wash or dry label for 24 hours. DO NOT IRON OVER LABEL ONCE APPLIED.
How do I apply my sew-in labels?
- We suggest you place several small stitches at each end of the smaller labels – the larger labels may have enough room for you to sew all around.
- Please let us know if you intend to sew in your labels (make a comment in the special instructions area during checkout), so we can be sure to leave sufficient space for stitching.

My iron-on labels have come off in the wash. Why?
Our iron-on labels are guaranteed to stay on through the washer and dryer if they are applied correctly. We cannot stress enough that the instructions enclosed with every set of labels must be followed. Stretchy, knit type materials, may require a stitch on each end to avoid separation. We have tried and tested this product through hundreds of washes over many years and none of our labels have ever come off.
Can I remove my iron-on labels?
Although our iron-on labels are designed NOT to be removed, if you have a need to remove them, then we suggest you try the following. Cover the label with a THIN, DRY pressing cloth or handkerchief, and using the hottest heat setting that your garment will withstand, apply heat for 10-15 seconds. Immediately, before the label cools, try to lift the edge of the label with your fingernail. Continue heating and peeling the label from your garment. Be careful not to burn yourself or the garment. We take no responsibility for the success or failure in removing the label.
Waterproof & Shoe Label Information
How do I apply my stick-on labels?
- Just peel the label from the backing paper and apply label to any hard, smooth, clean, dry surface, where required.
- Please leave label to adhere for 24 hours before placing in the dishwasher or microwave.
How do I apply my shoe labels?
- First place the clear overlay on the shoe label (while it’s still on the backing paper).
- Then, peel the shoe label (together with it’s overlay) from the backing paper and place the label in the heel of the shoe (where your heel would press) - press in firmly.
My stick-ons are not staying on. Why?
Our Stick-ons are guaranteed to stay on almost any clean, dry, smooth surface. We say “almost” because plastics are made in many different ways and we are unable to test them on everything. If you find that rare item onto which our stick-ons will not adhere but you have no problem with other items it is probably to do with that particular type of plastic. Our stick-ons are guaranteed to stay on through normal everyday use in temperatures ranging between -40°F to 200°F.
Why have some of my stick-ons smeared?
We know that our stick-on labels will stick to almost anything and stay looking as good as new through the dishwasher, the microwave and even in the pool. However, we have found that some sun screens can smear the print.
Bag Tag Information
Can I have a bag tag with my own artwork or logo?
Yes, we can create a bag tag to your specifications. Custom bag tags are perfect for your school, team, organization, or company. Just provide us with an image or logo and we’ll create three sample tag designs from which you can choose.
