FAQs
How do I label my child’s tagless clothes, socks, and undies?
This is one of our most asked questions, and this is where iron-on labels shine. Because there is no size or care tag to stick to, iron-ons are the most secure way to ensure a permanent bond directly to the fabric. Our iron-on labels are the best way tag your child’s socks and under garments because they are small enough for the arch of a sock or the waistband of underwear, staying put through hot dryers without curling.
Do I really need to wait 24 hours before washing?
Yes, this is an important step and ensures that your child’s new clothing labels will last for the long haul. This "cure time" allows the adhesive to reach its maximum bond strength. Washing the clothing or getting them wet before the 24 hours can result in a clothing label that comes loose or falls off when it’s most needed. For the "Set it and Forget it" durability of our stickers, that 24-hour window is the secret to laundry-day success.
Are these clothing labels truly laundry-safe and dryer-safe?
Absolutely! We guarantee that our clothing labels will last through the washer and dryer! Every clothing label we produce is 100% laundry-safe and washer-dryer proof. Both our stick-on & iron-on labels are designed to withstand high-heat dryers and repeated wash cycles without peeling, curling, or fading!
Are these labels safe for babies and children with sensitive skin?
Yes! When it comes to your children, we know that “good enough” isn’t good enough. Name Bubbles’ clothing labels are non-toxic and eco-conscious, with no PFAs used in manufacturing. Our premium inks have been dermatologically tested safe for sensitive skin and won’t irritate your little ones while they’re busy playing on the playground or learning in the classroom.
Can I use these clothing labels for school uniforms and daycare gear?
Yes! Our custom clothing name tags are a parent favorite for daycare, preschool, and school dress codes, and camp. They help teachers, babysitters, and childcare professionals quickly identify belongings like jackets, sweaters, and spare outfits, significantly reducing the chance of lost items in shared environments.
Do you have specialized clothing stickers for shoes and sneakers?
Yes, because we know the struggle of looking for little shoes in a sea of sneakers with flashing lights and bright colors! Our custom shoe name labels are waterproof, laundry-safe, and extra-durable to withstand friction and moisture from sweaty feet and all-day play. They fit snugly inside sneakers, boots, and slippers, and we even offer left/right match-up designs to help early learners put their shoes on the correct feet.
Will the ink fade after multiple washes?
No. We use fade-resistant ink, and our labels are finished with a matte laminate that makes them even more durable and long-lasting. They stay vibrant through everyday use and are easy to spot when needed most. Whether you’re washing school uniforms weekly or storing camp gear for the season, the name and design will remain bold and legible for easy identification!
What is the best way to label my kids’ swimsuits and swimwear?
For a summer-ready bond that handles chlorine, salt water, and sun, we recommend applying our laminated stick-on clothing labels to the care tag or size tag of the swimsuit. These stick-ons are better suited for the water because they adhere to the tag. For tagless swimwear (and the overall best option), our Iron-On Labels work best! Add iron-ons to the inside seam of your child’s swimsuit to ensure the labels stay securely attached through every pool day and beach trip!
