How to Choose Name Labelling

April 24, 2009 by  


Individuals like to be aware of which garments and possessions are theirs,and in most situations this is not difficult If large numbers of individuals have the same type of clothes, or have their clothes washed together then identification is needed. There are several types of clothes labels and we compare them all here:

Clothes tag Appearance:
The best looking labels are printed fabric or woven labels which need to be sewn into garments, second place is shared by iron on labels and stikins and last place has to go to laundry markers and biro where the name is written into the garment.

Speed of Name Label Application
The speediestway of personalisingclothing is a laundry pen followed by stikins and then iron on labelling. Sewing in labels comes last in terms of speed especially if you are a non sewer, or have several labels to sew in.

Name Label Durability:
Washing machines remove things from clothes, and have a very harsh environment for labels. Labels can fail because they come off or because the print deteriorates. A well sewn in woven name label is the most durable solution and it should survive the life of the garment. Mixed results come from iron on labels in terms of staying in; some are very good and some are poor, the kind of fabric they are ironed on to is also a factor, but they tend not to fade. Stikins school name labels generally survive extremely well if put on correctly and the print does not fade. Laundry markers do tend to fade with time but there is no issue regarding falling off.

Name Label Cost:
Laundry markers are the cheapest and there are also some low priced label sew in tapes. Woven and embroidered name labels have a range of prices and are generally more expensive than iron in labels and stikins. The most expensive name labels are the ones that fail, or need replacing often so buying cheap may not be good value in the end.

Which Name Label Is the Best?
None


of the labels in this article is an overall winner, all have pros and cons and the most suitable for you will depend what is most important to you. If appearance overrides everything go for the best woven labels, if cost is vital buy a marker pen, if you want a good all round performer buy Stikins. A referral from a friend or samples first is a good way of making sure of the quality of iron on labels, which can also be good all rounders. So good luck choosing personalised labels for your clothes.

We urge the Palestinian Authority to continue in its efforts to improve security and the rule of law, building on the achievements reached so far.
