Not a fan of Iron On Labels? That’s okay! They’re simply not for everyone. That’s exactly the reason why we designed these fuss-free & time-saving Wrap & Stick Clothing Labels. With these, you can label your kid’s clothes faster than ever before. As an added bonus, they’re washer and dryer friendly, guaranteeing they stay vibrant for years to come!

To use our Wrap & Stick Clothing Labels, simply peel, wrap and stick the labels to the clothes’ care tags and that’s it! No ironing needed. You can follow along with the Instructional Video below in real time to see how it’s done!

As easy as one, two, three! To apply just…

Have you got any questions? Check out these FAQs.

What fabrics can Wrap & Stick Clothing Labels be used on?

These labels are designed to stick to clothing tags. Tags with a nylon or polyester base work best! They’re perfect for school uniforms and hats, no iron needed! They are also perfect for brands or size labels that have a loop to thread these labels through.

How do I apply these Labels?

Applying these Wrap & Stick Clothing Labels is a breeze. You can follow along in real-time with the video at the top of this post! 

They apply easily to the care tags inside most clothing items. Simply sit the Wrap & Stick Clothing Label flat on the clothing’s care tag & fold the two outer sides behind, sticking them firmly on top of each other… kind of like our Wrap & Stick Clothing Label is giving your care tag a bear hug!

Can these Labels be used in my washing machine and clothes dryer?

Yes! Once they’ve been applied correctly, they can be put through washing machines and clothes dryers without peeling off, even industrial-style machines that are used in places like boarding schools.

How long will these Labels last?

These Wrap & Stick Clothing Labels are semi-permanent. When applied correctly, they will last for ages!

If you’re looking for a cotton or permanent clothing label, you’ll love our Iron On Labels that come in a variety of coordinated designs & match beautifully with our personalised school & daycare supplies. These can be found in almost all our Label Combo Packs!

What materials are the Wrap & Stick Clothing Labels made from?

Our Wrap & Stick Clothing Labels are produced on high-quality vinyl. They are waterproof and when the label is folded over itself around your care tag, they stay stuck. The adhesive on the back of these tags is designed to last in the washer & dryer.

If you’re looking for a cotton clothing label, you’ll love our Iron On Labels that come in a variety of coordinated designs & match beautifully with our Label Combo Packs!

I have an extra-large care tag, what can I do?

We now have Large Wrap & Stick Clothing Labels for extra large care tags! 

Alternatively, you can fold the clothing’s care tag in half, securing the label around like normal. As a third option, you can use 2 of the Wrap & Stick Clothing Labels, one on the back of the other so that there’s a good amount of vinyl adhering the 2 labels together. 

To follow along with these methods you can watch Instructional Video at the top of this blog post!  

How can I resize these Labels? 

For younger kids or smaller tags, these Wrap & Stick Clothing Labels can be easily cut to fit any sized care tags. You can watch our Instructional Video to see how to resize these labels.

Simply stick your Wrap & Stick Clothing Label to the care tag like normal, then trim the ends just a little to fit the tag. Make sure that the two sides still fold over each other & adhere to themselves before you cut. If you cut them too short, they may not have enough vinyl to adhere to on the other side.

Are these okay for kids with sensitive skin?  

If your child’s skin is sensitive to tags, you might like to try our Iron On Clothing Labels which merge with the fabric and are great for kids with sensitive skin.

Can these be applied straight to the clothing?      

These Wrap & Stick Clothing Labels are designed for clothing with tags. If your little ones don’t like tags or for items without clothing tags like socks, you will love our Iron On Clothing Labels instead.

Where can I buy Wrap & Stick Clothing Labels?

The Wrap & Stick Clothing Labels are featured in most of our Label Value Kits, or you can get them by themselves in single-label packs, great if you want to label a lot of clothing!

Looking for Iron On Labels that last? Look no further! Our Iron On Labels are washing machine and dryer safe. No peeling, curling, or fading for years to come. And to top it all off, they’re super quick and easy to apply, making them perfect for anyone labelling their kid’s clothes for daycare or school.

Watch how easy it is to use our Iron On Labels!

Need more instruction? Not a problem! Follow this easy step-by-step guide:

Some extra tips:

  • Use a larger sheet of parchment paper to cover the surface of the fabric so that the iron doesn’t cause any damage to the clothing.
  • If you can’t get the hang of the iron, some of our customers say they find it easier to use a hair straightener to apply their labels.
  • Applying the labels on a wooden chopping board offers a solid surface to allow you to press more firmly on the iron. 
  • Avoid using the part of the iron that has steam holes. Instead use the flat part without holes to allow more heat to be applied.

Questions? Check out these FAQs.

The text is looking smudged or faded, what do I do?  

This may be due to the iron being too hot and melting the label OR because of the iron moving during application. Make sure to hold your iron 100% still, especially when you first put the iron over the label. If this doesn’t work, try turning the heat of the iron down and/or holding the iron over the label for a shorter time giving only short bursts of heat.

Why has my label come off in the wash?

This may be due to the iron’s heat not penetrating through to activate the adhesion of the label. Make sure the iron is hot enough, that the piece of fabric isn’t too thick and that you’ve held the iron on for long enough. You can go over the same label numerous times as long as you use the transfer paper. But be careful as overheating the label may cause it to melt. 

Another suggestion is to apply the labels on a wooden chopping board, as it offers a solid surface to allow you to press more firmly on the iron. You will need to apply the heat for less time if you are using this method, using the part of the iron that doesn’t have any steam holes to allow more heat to be applied.

What are the sheets of paper I got with my order used for? 

This is transfer (or parchment) paper and it is to be used when you iron the labels onto your clothing. If you run out or lose this paper, you can simply use good-quality parchment paper instead.

How will I know if my iron is at the correct temperature?   

The temperature and timing may differ depending on the type of fabric and make of iron, e.g. cotton will need a higher temperature with longer pressure and nylons will need a lower temperature with less pressure. We highly recommend that you test your clothing labels in an inconspicuous area before using all of your clothing labels. You can go over the labels as many times as needed if the temperature is not high enough initially.

Are Iron On Labels washing machine and clothes dryer safe?

Yes, as long as you’ve applied them correctly, our Iron On Labels will probably outlast the clothing itself. They’re that durable!

We recommend that you wait for at least 24 hours before putting the item into the washing machine or dryer to allow the fabric to completely adhere to the clothing labels. They can be put through washing machines and dryers without peeling off, even industrial-style machines that are used in boarding schools.

What fabrics can Iron On Labels be used on?

These Iron On Labels work best on fabrics that allow for irons, such as 100% cotton. We love to use them on school uniforms, hats, socks, underwear, towels, and even some swimwear (although this last one can be a little tricky to get right).

If your clothing doesn’t suit ironing try our Wrap & Stick Clothing Labels. You can read more about them HERE.

Where can I find Iron On Labels?

Our Iron On Labels can be purchased in an Iron On Labels Value Kit or by themselves in single-label packs. You can get small or large quantities to suit the amount of clothes you need to label.
