1. How well did the print and labels survive throughout wear and after washing? they have survived very well but it is only a week into using.

I would just add separately that I usually use a competitor brand. I like how I can pick different colours of background/font and an illustration for each label. It makes it easier to differentiate when sorting washing/lunch boxes etc. Plus it is very helpful for nursery age children who might not be able to read their name but can recognise the colour/icon on their sticker. I would be more likely to use Stikins again if this was possible. However, I do like how one label works on shoes/clothes etc
