How do you put name labels on clothes?
When it comes to labelling the school uniforms it is important to consider a couple of different factors. In terms of labels for clothing, the majority of them are available in an iron on option. So, ensuring that the garment can be ironed is an important one. There are of course other options which are possibly less permanent. In the case that the clothing’s tag is still intact, then an adhesive backed label may be suitable.
