1. I used my phone to order the labels. The website was very easy to navigate, and it was extremely quick and simple to place an order from start to finish. I especially liked the clear preview of the product.

1. I was very pleased with the service I received, I even ordered the free sample pack with my other childs name on them.

My confirmation email came straight away, and was clear on what I had ordered. I ordered my labels at 3.30pm and had them in my hands at 11.30am the next day.

1. The packaging was letter style which I liked, also minimal as the thin sheath the labels were in are utilised with information on, alongside the single sheet of paper instructions. The instructions themselves are simple and easy to follow.

1. The labels are easy to detach from the backing sheet and just stick straight on to wherever you want them to go. Totally hassle free.

Very clear instructions, recyclable envelope, minimal packaging in general which I appreciated.

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?

So so easy- the only name tapes I’ve used for clothes before required heat to sort of iron them on. Still easy but definitely a lot more faff than just popping a sticker straight onto a wash care label.

1. What did you stick the labels onto?

School cardigans, jumper that went in to nursery as home clothes, water bottle, pencil case, summer hats.

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

I have only washed some items at most twice but labels have stayed on well and washes fine

Thank you for the chance to trial.

1. The website was fairly user friendly, there is a lot of information at you when i was trying to just find one thing.
2. Confirmation explained everything, was very quick and easy to order with the code with no having to dig around to find where to put it.
3. Simple packaging and instructions, might be nice to have childs name on the frint to help find them easier when having multiple packets.

5. Stuck to plimsoles, drinks bottles, clothes, bags
6. Survived the dishwasher on a 65 wash even though it said up to 40degrees, no blurring of the print. plimsoles stuck well to the sides but time will tell if they dont rub off as they only get used once a week. Clothes all seem fine.
