any alternative to sewing name tags on?

[LG]

very lazy mother question here! My ds starts school in september and seems to have loads of kit which all requires a name tag. I have been told that the iron on tags are not very good, but I am hopeless at sewing. is there an alternative or a sewing service that does it in surrey?

I just write in permanent ink on the label, very lazy me

I got the iron on tags and they are starting to peel off and be itchy (I di use a tumble dryer ib winter).

I got a laundry marker from WH Smith and use this on the labels now.

Hope this helps ....

Don't iron on with the steam iron setting.
Also there are various stickers here that go though the washer.

Got mine from M&S - they print them whilst you wait - they are iron on but are great and have been throught he wash god knows how many times - I even iron them inside DDs pumps!!

i use Easy2name

twinkie-- i didn't know m&s did that, which store was it?

thanks for all the helpful tips, looks like I can avoid hours of sewing!
