Iron On Clothing Labels

1. Iron On labels can be applied to any part of the garment.
2. Ensure labels adhered to smooth parts of the garments i.e. they are NOT applied where garments have folds/ pleats or is gathered due to elastic bands.

1. Set iron to Dry mode (no steam) at highest temperature i.e. cotton/linen setting. Make sure the iron is not defective as these labels require high heat of around 200 C.
2. Peel Iron On  label from the sheet and place it on the on fabric.
3. Place the parchment paper (included) over the Iron On label.
4. Place iron over the parchment paper and HOLD iron in place over the label for 30 seconds with medium pressure. DO NOT MOVE THE IRON. DO NOT USE TIP OF THE IRON, USE THE CENTRE BROAD SECTION OF THE IRON
5. Repeat Step 4 for another 30 seconds. Check to ensure the edges have adhered to the fabric. If not, repeat Step 4 as long as it takes until the edges seal to fabric.
6. Please ensure the labels are left on for 24 hours after application, before using or washing them for maximum adhesion and durability.
7. DO NOT APPLY LABELS ON CLOTHING TAGS, APPLY THEM DIRECTLY ON THE FABRIC.

Note: Your parchment paper is reusable. If you lose it, don’t worry, you can use kitchen baking paper or aluminum foil.

Common Problems with Iron On labels:
1. Labels are curling and not adhering to fabric:  Iron is not set to a high temperature OR Iron is faulty and not heating up well. Please try using someone else’s iron
2. Labels are sticking to parchment paper: Iron is not set to a high temperature.
3. Print is smudging on parchment paper. Use an old cotton shirt or something similar between label and iron,

Peeling Labels off the sheet

1. The labels have been cut and should peel of relatively easily off the sheet.
2. To peel the labels bend the sheet till the labels lift off the edges, where they have been cut.  Most labels will lift off easily while some might require additional pressure.  Please call/email us if there are any issues, and we will sort it out.

What should I do If my labels curl up when ironing

Iron-on labels curling or shrivelling under a hot iron is very common, and it usually happens because the adhesive or backing is reacting too fast to heat. Here’s how to stop it 👕👇

Why iron-on labels curl up

1. Iron is too hot
   Most labels are designed for low–medium heat, not cotton/linen settings.
2. Direct contact with iron
   The adhesive layer softens unevenly when the iron touches it directly, causing the edges to curl.
3. Steam is used

Moisture + heat can warp the label backing before it bonds.

1. Thin or plastic-based labels
   Vinyl or polyester labels curl faster than woven or fabric labels.

How to fix it (step-by-step)

✅ Best method (works most of the
time)

1. Set iron to LOW or SYNTHETIC (around 130–150°C)
2. Turn steam OFF
3. Place label adhesive side down
4. Put a pressing cloth / baking paper / parchment paper on top
5. Press straight down (do not slide)
6. Hold for 10–15 seconds
7. Let it cool completely before checking

👉 If it hasn’t bonded,repeat for another 5–10 seconds.

If the label curls before you can place it

• Lightly pre-heat the garment, not the label
• Hold label in place with heat-resistant tape or tweezers
• Press from the centre first, then the edges

Extra tips

• For cotton clothing: start low and increase slowly
• For stretchy fabrics: iron from the inside of the garment
• After ironing, wait 24 hours before washing
• Wash inside-out, cold water only
