I thought the instructions were very clear. I handled the labels very carefully when removing them from the sheet and sticking to my items. Labels were quick and easy to stick.

Jumper, shorts, skirt PE kit, shirts, blouses, swimwear and polo tops.

Upto now very well, some of the items have been washed multiple times. However, just to note, I do not have a tumble dryer. And all items have been dried outside on a line.

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

The labels have lasted well through wear and washing in the washing machine/ dishwasher. They all stayed firmly stuck and the printing still looks great. I would order again and recommend to friends.

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

I found the website a bit confusing to be honest. I expected there to be a choice of colours or sizes and tried to look for them and just found multiple pages of the same sticker but with different names. I finally found a comment to say they only do one kind, black on white. If it was said upfront I wouldn't have wasted time looking for the options.

1. Were you pleased with the service you received? Why? Did the confirmation email provide you with all the information that you needed?

I received two identical confirmation emails which would have worried me if I'd paid as I'd worry I'd been charged twice! I only received one order though so it must be a glitch. I received the order 48h after ordering which was good.

1. When your order arrived, what did you think of the packaging and information enclosed?

It was all fine! I could be wrong but don't remember seeing anything about removing labels (if you're passing on/selling an item) - that would be handy to know as I'll need to do it sooner or later.

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?

Very easy- just peel and stick!

1. What did you stick the labels onto?

Clothes labels, the bottom of a drinks bottle, the label of a backpack, sun hat labels.

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

Perfectly well so far (only washed a few times but I'm confident they'll last).

Overall, I'd recommend them and would use again.

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

Really easy liked how it let you see the layout of different options so you could try out what it looked like with/ without surname.

1. Were you pleased with the service you received? Yes

Why? good product arrived quickly

Did the confirmation email provide you with all the information that you needed?

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

fine, so far. Not really long enough to tell to be honest

An example of how great the product is:

I was scrambling around for a sunhat for my son to wear at school. It was the first really hot day. The memo said ‘all hats to be labelled with name’ I grabbed a hat and stuck a sticker in. Moments later we were out of the door and on our way to school. Brilliant.

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

Easy to use, straightforward and I managed to order in a couple of minutes. Instructions were clear.

Very easy to use and understand.

1. What did you stick the labels onto?

School uniform, shoes, school bags, water bottles and football gear.

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

Fine for now, only completed a few washes so I'm interested to find out the longevity of the stickers as my experience is that they normally start to peel off pretty quickly!

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

The website was very user friendly. It was simple to use with clear options as to pack sizes and cost of the different options. I liked that there was a choice of either the name on one line or two and that you could see what each would look like.

1. Were you pleased with the service you received? Why? Did the confirmation email provide you with all the information that you needed?

School uniform, sun hat, swimming shorts, shoes, crocs, water bottle and food containers.

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

The print and labels lasted extremely well. The swimming shorts have been in the swimming pool, the sea and through the washing machine with no issues at all. The crocs have been worn on the beach and with wet feet and the food containers have gone through the dishwasher several times and the labels have not faded or become unstuck in either case. The label we had unpeeled and restuck also survived wear and washing without fading or becoming unstuck.

I am a convert to the use of Stikins! I have ordered some for my other child as well - so there should be no lost property in this house!
