Iron-on name labels for clothing

Not just a name. A way to reach you, and what a caregiver needs to know.

Made for school uniforms, jackets and sports kit

Iron-on application with no sewing. Waterproof, and rated to survive 50 plus washes including machine drying. Each label carries a unique QR code linked to your profile.

Packs and pricing

Plan on 40 to 50 labels for one child across a full school year. One-time purchase, no subscription, 30-day returns.

How to apply them

Iron-on labels fail for one reason, which is not enough heat for long enough. Set the iron to cotton with steam turned off, because steam is what stops a label bonding. Place the label on the care tag or inside the collar, press firmly for ten seconds without moving, then let it cool completely before touching it. Wait 24 hours before the first wash.

What the QR code does

Whoever finds the item scans it with any phone camera and your contact page opens in their browser. There is no app to download and no account for them to create. You choose what appears, whether that is a phone number or a message form that reaches you without revealing it, and you can change it any time without replacing a single label.

Do you actually need the QR code?

Not always. For clothing that stays inside a nursery or classroom, a printed name is enough, because staff know your child. It matters for the things that leave the building: a coat left on a bus, a jumper dropped at the park, a sports bag left at an away fixture. Whoever picks those up has a first name and no way to act on it.

Questions parents ask about iron-on labels

Will they survive a tumble dryer?

Yes. They are rated for 50 plus washes including machine drying.

Where should I put them?

On the garment's care tag if there is one, otherwise inside the collar or waistband. Avoid seams, since the label needs a flat surface to bond properly.

Can I remove them later?

Iron-on labels are designed not to come off, which is the point. They can be removed with heat and patience, but expect it to be difficult. For hand-me-downs, apply the new label alongside rather than trying to remove the old one.

What if my phone number changes?

Change it in your profile. The labels keep working, because the code points at your profile rather than at a number.

Is my address on there?

Only if you choose to put it there. Most parents show a first name and a contact method and nothing else.

What can I not iron them onto?

Nylon, waterproof outer shells, and anything that cannot take a hot iron. Use the waterproof stickers for those instead.
