APPLICATION:

  1. Ensure that clothing is clean and completely dry.
  2. Apply the label to the care tag of the garment and press down firmly.
  3. Do not wash the garment for at least 24 Hours. This will allow the adhesive to strengthen.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS:
For best results and a longer lasting label:

  • Wash at 30° Or below
  • Tumble dry, Low temp°

This product should always be applied to a garment’s care tag / size tag / brand tag and not directly on the fabric. Take care when applying to stretchy fabrics as this may compromise the adhesive strength.

Please Note: DO NOT IRON Tag Buddies Labels MUST NOT come into direct contact with an iron. They are made of soft plastic and will melt.

Iron-on / Sew-in Labels

APPLICATION:

  1. Remove all water from the iron. Set iron on medium to high heat. The iron needs to be dry.
  2. Turn clothes inside out. Peel and place label face-up on clothing
  3. Place WAX OR BAKING PAPER over the label and apply lots of PRESSURE for 10 - 15 seconds. Do this 3 times.
  4. You can then sew the label into the clothing for added support but is not essential.

The medium heat setting differs on home irons. To ensure the adhesive has been melted sufficiently, we recommend taking a piece of scrap material or old shirt and doing a test. Keep repeating step 3, using 15-20 seconds at a time until you see a crease appear.

The crease indicates it's been slightly “over cooked”. Use the time it took to crease, minus a few seconds (to avoid creasing) to iron on all your labels!

CARE INSTRUCTIONS:
For best results and a longer lasting label:

  • Wash at 30° Or below
  • Tumble dry, Low temp°

Don’t skip the clear cover!

The clear cover is an important final step. It acts as a protective shield over your label, keeping it safe from washing, rubbing and everyday school wear. This helps your child’s name stay visible for longer and prevents peeling or fading.

  1. Make sure the inside of the shoe is as clean and dry as possible.
  2. Peel a clear cover off the sheet and place it over the round name sticker.

  4. Firmly apply pressure to the label and allow to bond for 24 hours.

 

CARE INSTRUCTIONS: Ensure the clear cover is applied to the name label to prevent wear and fade of the print.

Pro tips to make sure your labels last!

Stick your labels to surfaces that are flat, dry, clean and smooth. (The labels may not be effective on plastics that feel greasy, highly textured surfaces or plastics that contain high amounts of silicone).

Wrap around pen & pencil labels

APPLICATION:

  1. Peel the label off the sheet.
  2. Apply the white end of the label to the pen/pencil first. (The straighter the bottom of the label on the pen, the better it seals)
  3. Wrap the clear part around the pen over the white area while maintaining a firm tension.

These labels are self-laminating, so it is important to cover the white part of the label with the clear section. 

Tips: It helps to apply the label and hold it still while rolling the pen to take up the extra label, photographic instructions are provided with the labels.

Only to be used on pens and pencils.

Colour Wrap-around

Pro tips to make sure your labels last!

The adhesives used on all our name labels are “pressure activated” and will only stick properly after sufficient pressure has been applied. Gently peel the label off the sheet without letting the labels fold. Once you have positioned the label, rub firmly, applying pressure over the whole label from one end to the other (avoids air getting trapped). Pay special attention to the corners and edges!

Flat Surface labels & Micro Labels

APPLICATION:
1. Stick your labels to any flat, smooth, dry, clean and oil-free surfaces.
2. Apply pressure across the whole label, paying attention to the edges and corners.
3. Allow 1-2 days for the adhesive to bond.

Not suitable for clothing/material nor sharply rounded objects such as pencils.

Multi-purpose Labels

1. Carefully peel the book label, making sure not to bend it or get it stuck to the finger.
2. Apply the label to a smooth, oil-free, clean part of the book

Avoid attaching tags to zips

While it may seem convenient, zips are much weaker than straps or handles. Attaching a luggage tag to a zip increases the chance of it snapping off or getting lost. For best results, secure the tag to a strap or handle instead.

Bag Tags with split rings

APPLICATION:

  1. Remove the split ring from the back of the PVC tag
  2. Attach the split ring to the PVC tag
  3. Attach the Tag to the handle of the bag

 

CARE INSTRUCTIONS: We do not recommend attaching the tag to the zip. Some children cannot resist the urge to carry their bag by the tag which can introduce a weak point after extended strain.
