name tags for school

[kamath]

can anyone recommend a good name tag (preferably iron on ones!) for naming children's clothes. My son has just started school and I named all his clothes with a laundry pen but it has already faded after a few washes.

I use Labels4kids - they do stick on ones which I like, but i think you can order ones that you iron, sew or stick!

Thanks , they look perfect. Do the stick on ones stay on after washing?

I looked into this and a number of people said that the iron on ones all failed eventually. Not sure if that is true or if they just tried bad brands! I ended up biting the bullet and getting the sew-in ones. There was a back to school pack from Easy2Name that was recommended to me, which included sew in ones, sticky ones and sticky covers to go on top of the sticky ones in shoes. You could buy the same kit with iron on if you prefer.

Yes surprsingly they do... I have some school items that are on their second year of washing and tags are still on. (Great thing is that when you pass on clothes etc, you can "tear" them off).

I've bought my son's ones on that website (stickers too but they do some to iron )

I liked because you can personalised them!

I got stickers I think from labels4kids - found that the corners peel up a bit after a wash but do actually then stick back down. Bit worried about all the tumble drying but so far they're surviving. Dead handy for shoes/wellies too.
