Name Labels - Review

[countrymummy13]

Hi MNers

My 3yo starts school this term and I searched high and low for some nice looking iron-on labels.

I went for Tinyme as I was impressed with the lovely designs.

But... I am not at all pleased. And as the Tinyme website doesn't seem to have a review function, I thought I'd let you know on here.

1. Print quality is not of a professional standard. I handle a lot of print in my line of work, and this looks like a home job.

1. Labels themselves are very easy to burn. I burnt the first one when ironing for the max recommended time of 20 secs

1. Very difficult to get time of ironing needed right. Not enough and it lifts at the corners, too much and the label melts to the point of distorting the print.

1. Ink transfered on to the parchment paper when ironing, then back on to the next label

1. Needs a very hot iron for a long time so not suitable for anything other than 100% cotton - so not very good for coats

1. Is now permanent on my lo beautiful school uniform Perhaps iron-on is generally a flawed idea.

Anyone else had better success (with Tinyme or others).

I was looking at Easy2name but have no first hand experience, as I have always previously used sew in one.

Well, I think maybe sew-in might be a better idea. Some of my new labels look a right mess, and they're permanent!!

I guess that'll teach me for worrying about how name labels look!

i use the "iron on" ones, they are great. I just typed in "name labels" on ebay and found loads.
