The instructions printed on the reverse of the plastic wallet that contained the two sheets of sticker labels.

1. How easy was it to use the labels/put the labels onto clothes and other items? Were the instructions on how to do so clear and easy to follow?

After reading the instructions, i peeled the label off and pressed it down smoothly onto a clean dry surface or clothe label.

1. What did you stick the labels onto?

I added labels to the garment care label inside my sons school sports kit shorts and shirt as this gets washed at least a couple of times a week, I also put one onto his racquet.

1. How well did the print and labels survive throughout wear and after washing?

They came out the wash intact and as new, very happy

These label are small neat and tidy, go on instantly no sewing or ironing needed so can be done litterally at the last minute.
My only negatives would be maybe the colour is a bit too well hidden if someone was trying to check item was labelled say in a lost property check the white label on white garment care label is almost no visible. I would normally label clothes at the top near neck or waist, more visible than the inside clothing on the garment label and also this could easily be cut out by a dishonest person that wanted to hang onto uniform rather than return it to its rightful owner

1. What did you think about the Stikins website? Did you think the website was user friendly?

I thought the website was very sinple and easy fo use. There wasn’t many options to chose so it was user friendly but did give the impression of a newish website or start up company (not that that is a bad thing)

1. How easy was it to use the labels/put the labels onto clothes and other items? Were the instructions on how to do so clear and easy to follow?

Really simple and easy and my daughter had a go too and found them easy also.

1. What did you stick the labels onto?

To clothes labels, water bottle, lunch box, school bag and books.

1. How well did the print and labels survive throughout wear and after washing? Really well, there was no sign of damage or peeling.

I really liked the stickers and the fact they could be used on clothes as well as equipment which would save me buying two different sets. I also liked that i didnt have to iron the labels onto clothes. I do however think the price is very high for plain black labels with no pictures. I would expect to pay upto £7 max. I would like to see more variety in colour and font and the option to add an emoji. I also think there should be an option to buy one pack with different names on half for siblings. Overall i thought the quality was great and i would recommend, especially if the extras were added and the price adjusted. Thank you for the opportunity to test.
