Stick-on Instructions

Our self-adhesive labels stick to any clean, dry, flat, non-greasy surface at room temperature. Make sure you remove any air bubbles trapped under the label, by pushing them towards the edge of the label! Round corners stick better. After applying the label, we advise you to leave it for a few hours and to avoid any contact with water.

The labels are dishwasher (up to 60°), freezer and microwave safe. At temperatures higher than 60°, for example for sterilising or boiling baby bottles, it could be that the colours fade away sooner and the structure of the labels change. There’s a slight possibility that labels can come off.

Shoe Labels

Our shoe labels are especially designed to fit inside the shoe at the heel area.
A special transparent coating protects the labels from sweat and abrasion and protects it from fading away. Stick the shoe labels on a smooth, flat and dry surface. Then, put the supplied transparent coating on top of it and press it firmly.

Please note:

Since the mini labels are quite small, they are not as dishwasher and microwave safe as the bigger labels.

If you use the (mini) self-adhesive labels on items such as mobile phones, MP3 players and stationery their life-period might be shorter, since they are subject to a higher friction when they are in pockets and cases and since you might touch them often with your hands. 

TEXTILE Adhesive xtra Labels

Place this label on the existing wash care -/clothing label or on a slick piece of fabric. Ultimate adhesive strength, the strongest of its kind, but removable. Optimum adhesion after 2 hours after application. After about 8 hours washing machine safe (up to 60°C) and dryer resistant. By the use of fabric softener or wool detergent, or adding stain remover to the laundry, the labels may come off.

Ironing Instructions

For long-term enjoyment of your ironing labels, follow the instructions below carefully. Pay attention to the ordered type of label (flex material or cotton/polyester).

 

Ironing labels with blue application tape (flex material):

1. Set the iron to the hottest setting, without any steam.
2. Cut a label from the strip.
3. Remove the label, including the blue application tape*, from the backing sheet and place it, with text up, to the desired location on the fabric.
4. Cover the label with a tea towel and firmly press the heated iron for approximately 20-40 seconds on a hard, smooth surface.
5. Remove immediately after ironing gently the blue protective (possibly with tweezers), let the label cool and check if it sticks.
6. In case the label comes off, again place the blue coating on top of the label and repeat steps 4 and 5. Check that the iron is hot and, if necessary, press the heated iron on top of the label for a bit longer and with more pressure.
   
   *Extra protection and it keeps the label in place while ironing!

Please note: Flex material iron-on labels can be used on fabric such as cotton, cotton/polyester and polyester/acrylic; but they are not suitable for fabrics that have a water repellent or dirt resistant coating, (coarsed) knitted fabrics, spandex or (very) movable surfaces because the label cannot hold itself properly.

 

Ironing labels without blue application tape (cotton/polyester):

Follow the procedure above, except the blue tape application instructions.
> Cotton/polyester iron-on labels become softer by washing and do not itch. They are almost indestructible, but you can also remove them by reheating the label with a tea towel and hot iron. Then you can take them out again.

Important:

• The durability of our labels also depends on the heat, the pressure of the iron, and its pressure duration. Check the garment care label first!
• Always wash the garments inside out and never ironing directly on the labels as applied,  but on the rear side thereof. Do not thumble dry. Do not dry clean.
• During the washing from 60°C and by the use of fabric softener or wool detergent, or adding stain remover to the laundry, the labels may come off.

 

PS: Please be careful with the heated iron and keep (small) children at a distance during this procedure. Also please be aware that labels could be swallowed and cause suffocation. Should you have any questions, you can contact service@labelandco.com.

 

Sewing Labels

Sewing labels are easy to sew and perfect for (homemade) clothing and other textiles. We offer fabric labels, polyester, nylon / polyamide and satin, which are printed with industrial quality equipment, for best results.


Polyester labels are lightweight, have a high abrasion resistance and feel (even after washing) very soft. The label can be a bit static, but it remains in the form and does not discolour in direct sunlight.

Nylon (polyamide brand name) is lightweight and easy to fold. Nylon labels are strong, tear, crease and retain their shape. Not without reason the most widely used label type.

Satin polyester labels are extra fine woven, in a special way, making them shine and extra soft. These labels have a great printing result, which remains readable even after many washes. Unique to each application and great result!

Note: Cut edges may fray slightly. Double stitching or fold ends gives strength for best results, therefore additional space of approximately 8 mm each side to sew.

For all types of synthetic fibers are generally the same excellent performance with washing or dry cleaning and durability.

Hint:

• Sewing labels will held better when stitched on several points, the label will wrinkle less after washing.
• Your sewing labels can be ironed. Please do so but watch the thermal state of the iron.
• We do not recommend adding stain remover to the laundry, because the printing may blur.
