along for the ride mum Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 (edited) I am aware that there has been discussion on the White lodge thread but I thought Id start a new topic for ease of finding the right info. I hope that's ok. There were several suggestions of companies that do great labels, one of them, Mine-4-sure (online) have an offer on till June 26th for 15% off the price of their 'camp pack' quote discount code 'camp 13'. I have ordered from them and.found them very good Edited June 20, 2013 by along for the ride mum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billyelliott Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 The information sent out to me by Elmhurst specifies that the name labels must be sewn in not iron on ! Is that old information since the technology of iron on ones have improved ? Or does that still stand ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karen Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 I have just bought some Easy2name iron on transfer type labels for socks and underwear. They are available in black a white and have ironed on easily. Waiting to see how they respond to use and washing, but anything will be better than this year's efforts. Have so far bought 15 pairs of school socks because they just seem to disappear!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
celb Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 The year 7 houseparent at Elmhurst was very sceptical when my DD turned up with stamped clothing.The iron on improved Cash's labels did not survive the school laundry on stretchy underwear or leotards. The stamps have survived 2 years of school laundry.I bought a name stamp from www.rubberstampz.co.uk - the violet colour 8300 for fabric is what I used.It has also been great on ballet shoes underwear leotards socks.I also have black and white but didn't find they lasted so well.I do sew on labels on the expensive formal uniform.At the end of every term there seems to be a large bucket of unclaimed clothing in house - all the items are this same so as long as the names stay on I wouldn't worry whatever you choose. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mimi'smom Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 Iron on transfers are great for socks, tights, underwear etc. We got ours from Easy2name. x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie4dancin Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 I stitched dd name labels on everything... So glad I don't have to repeat the process again iron labels don't last!!! Cx 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billyelliott Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Have decided its worth the effort if sewing - can teach DS at the same time ! Whose labels to go with ! Any one with an opinion about where best to buy the sew in ones ? How many might i need for a boy ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legseleven Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Cash's traditional sew-in name tapes are by far the best we've tried. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
