What nametags should you choose?

Most of our customers go for the combination set of 75 iron-on name tags and 75 stickers, for £9.95. Read more about our combination set.

Iron-on name tags

Iron-on name tags are good for ironing onto clothing. They are quicker to apply than sew-ons, but need to be of high quality to stay on the garment. My Nametags iron-on labels are the only one that carries a ten-year guarantee. Read more about iron-ons.

Sticker name labels

The sticker name tags stick easily to lunchboxes, bottles, books, DVDs etc. and are dishwasher and steriliser proof at the highest temperature setting. There are many companies offering stickers, but not all are high enough quality to survive washing for years. My Nametags sticker labels are guaranteed not to fall off in the dishwasher for ten years. Read more about sticky labels.

Sew-on name tapes

In the past, the only durable name tapes were sew-ons. They take long to sew on (particularly if you have to put name tapes into all clothes), but will stay on the clothes.

Customised labels

We also offer fully customised labels. These are naturally more expensive, but can be done in any colour and any shape you want. We can customise both iron-on and sticker labels. Read more about customised labels.

Allergy labels

If your child is allergic or has food intolerances, you may want to put this on the nametags. We have space to put allergies under the name, to ensure that people in school or nursery remembers what to avoid (particularly if there are short-term staff replacements).

Black & white or colour labels?

Should you purchase black & white labels or go for full colour name tags? My Nametags black & white labels are excellent quality, and will stay on clothing for years to come. The colour name tags are more fun, but offer the same resistance to washing, at the same price per pack (but the packs are smaller). There are various ways to produce colour labels, so beware cheaper imitations.
