Our name labels for clothing work well on common fabrics such as cotton, polyester, and cotton-blend materials, which make up the majority of children's clothing and school uniforms. These fabrics provide a suitable surface for both stick-on and iron-on labels to adhere securely.
Some labels may not perform as effectively on certain specialty fabrics, including waterproof or water-resistant materials, silicone-coated surfaces, heavily textured fabrics, or very stretchy materials like lycra and spandex. The smooth or slippery surface of these fabrics can make it harder for labels to bond properly.
For tricky fabrics, sew-on label options from the clothing labels range may be more reliable alternatives. When in doubt, test a clothing label on a small, inconspicuous area of the garment to gauge how well it will hold up before committing to a visible placement.
