Best name labels for school uniform?

[InBlackwaterWoods]

Hi, my son starts P1 in August. And every bit of uniform has to be labelled! I'm getting confused at which labels to buy?
Any advice on sew in or iron on labels please? Which ones are the best? Any suggestions welcome! Thanks!

I know it's old fashioned but I love the sew in labels for Uniform & stick on labels of shoes / water bottles. 2 yrs in the same uniform & the name is as clear as it was on the first day - well worth the extra effort of sewing them in

Ignore the gimmicks and just go old fashioned sew in labels

I'm another that sews them in.

Our nursery recommend Easy2Name stickers and I haven’t had one fall off yet (stuck on in Sept)

I use these. They're brilliant and I have never had to re-apply.

I love mynametags.com. I use the stickers for clothes, shoes, water bottles, packed lunch bags, sun hats.... they stick to everything and are dishwasher safe!

[Timeandtune]

I also recommend www.easy2name.com. I used them for years even in the pre internet days. Excellent products and great customer service.
My uniform labelling days are behind me now but I remember them fondly.

Thanks for the recommendations, really helpful to hear from people who have used them too!
I'd prefer to sew them in, but looking at the link upthread I'm loving the stick on labels too! Thanks! 😁

Last year I ordered a stamp. I love it. Infact it was almost life changing!!
I can stamp away all night!

Sew in are best.
They'll stay in but they're also the easiest to get off again if you want pass the stuff on.

I've not been impressed with mynametags this year. They replaced mine and I'm still not impressed. They have creased or ripped off.

Cash’s sew in labels , you can cut them out and re use

Laundry pen on the wash label

[LazydaysofSummer]

Stamptastic for uniforms is ace, just doesn't work on trainers and stuff. But if you've got a white label it works a treat for years and years.

Stikins personalised stickers.

You can get them on Amazon:

I haven't had one fall off yet.

Cash’s - still made in Britain.

Sew in labels are best for me. I use labels4kids and they have a massive range of labelling stuff. I also like their button label gadget thing...sounds weird, makes sense when you see it!
Their personalised PE bags are long lasting too.

[Sunshine818]

I use a Sharpie pen! 😂

[Allgirlskidsanddogs]

Attach a tag, twist in plastic tags.

Have just bought a stamp from Stamptastic, but also a fan of 'mynamelabels'.

DD is just moving into secondary (and started nursery at 3).

Cash's name tapes are still going strong. We have lost a few over the years but I usually spot loose ones when folding up washing and pop a few new stitches in.

"Stuck On You" I've probably had 3-4 orders over the years. The iron ons weren't as good this year (so I guess we re-ordered in 2017). The stick on labels and shoe labels are fine (very quick to stick on anything that moves out of the house - 2-3 year old ones are still surviving the dishwasher on snack pots etc). The iron on/sock labels aren't as robust. Admittedly I just chose black and white, but the names came off.

Ooh La labels - we had the circular ones. They stayed stuck on plastic and shoes - I didn't think to try them on clothing. They weren't cheap but I still have a few items from 2013 with some on.

I also swear by an Edding laundry pen (just spotted they are 1/2 price in Ocado). It seems a lot thinner than a sharpie (but maybe I am just a bit hopeless with a sharpie).

I like stikins and stamptastic

[Mossandclover]

Stikins. I used sew in ones the first year and they look lovely but stikins are so so so much quicker - you just stick them on the care label. I have never had one fall off (have melted one with the iron though) and they are easy enough to pull off when you pass things on. You can also stick them on anything and they stay on in the dishwasher.

[Mossandclover]

Also stickins deliver the next day.

Stikins are great. I used them for years when my mum was in a care home. Never came off in the wash.
