About Printed Iron on Name Labels
Nametape Application Instructions
What are iron on name labels?
Iron-on name labels - also called name tapes, clothing labels or name tags - are pre-printed labels that identify clothing and belongings quickly and clearly. They're applied with a household iron rather than sewn, and are used on school uniforms, PE kits, coats, jumpers, cardigans, lunch bags and nursery clothing to stop items being lost or mixed up.
Why parents choose them
With a class full of near-identical uniforms and PE kits, named clothing is the simplest way to cut down lost property and make sure the right jumper comes home. They go on faster than sew-in name tapes and survive the daily wash-and-wear cycle of school life.
Name labels for care homes and assisted living
Our personalised iron-on name labels help families and care homes identify residents’ clothing when laundry is washed together. Add a clear name using the online builder and apply with a household iron. For larger or repeat care-home orders, contact us for a quote.
Colours, fonts and personalisation
Personalise every label in the online builder with your choice of colour and font, including clean school-style handwriting fonts ideal for younger children and bold block styles chosen for clarity on fabric. Add the name, preview it, and order in minutes.
Built to last
Printed to order in Britain, our iron-on name labels are designed for repeated washing and everyday wear. Apply them using the supplied thermal paper and follow our application instructions and the garment’s care instructions for a secure, lasting bond.
How to Apply Iron-On Name Labels
Quick version: cut out a label, cover with the thermal paper, press with a hot dry iron, let it cool, peel the film, press once more.
Step by step
- Cut one name label from the sheet.
- Set a domestic iron to the cotton setting, hot and dry - no steam. Pre-press the area for 2 - 5 seconds so it's flat.
- Position the label, then cover it with the supplied thermal paper.
- Press firmly over the thermal paper for 30 - 60 seconds.
- Remove the thermal paper and let the label cool for 60 seconds, until cool to the touch.
- Holding the garment steady, peel away the clear carrier film.
- Place the thermal paper back over the label and press again for 10 - 15 seconds.
- Remove the paper and let it cool fully before wearing or washing.
For a strong, lasting bond, always iron through the supplied thermal paper or baking parchment rather than directly onto the label and keep the steam off.
Always follow the garment’s care instructions. If a label lifts at the edges, check the pressing time, pressure and cooling steps above, then re-cover it with the supplied thermal paper before pressing again. Do not increase the heat beyond the garment’s permitted ironing temperature. If the garment cannot be ironed, do not apply these labels.
