Frequently Asked Questions

What material are your labels made of?
Our labels are 100% polyester. There is a thermal adhesive on one side to allow for the label to be ironed on to any heat resistant material.

Are your labels washproof?
Yes. We use a custom blended indelible black ink on all of our labels. Our labels will not bleed or excessively fade in normal washing conditions and should last the life of the garment. We suggest you round the edges of the label before applying to any items that will be seeing excessive wear or washing. We also suggest you sew the labels on to any fabric that is stretchy.

Are your labels iron-on or sew-on?
Both. All of our labels have a thermal adhesive on one side for ironing. But you can also sew them onto fabrics that are not heat resistant or are stretchy. Our labels are designed with convenience in mind. Iron them, sew them, or do both, whatever is easiest for you.

How are the labels made?
We print the labels ourselves using our own equipment to ensure the highest quality product. Personal attention is given to every order, whether you order 50 labels or 5000 labels, to ensure complete customer satisfaction. We take pride in our product and superb customer service.
