Tips on Making the Labels Last Longer

Our waterproof labels are dishwasher and microwave safe while our iron on labels are washing machine and dryer safe so you’re free to stick them on a lot of things that are smooth, flat, and dry. Once you’ve found a nice spot to stick it on, the next question is, how do you make it last longer? Here are some tips to make the most of you labels:

Waterproof Labels

1. Stick the labels properly; pat the sticker adding a little pressure on it for a good 15 seconds. Make sure that there are no air bubbles underneath and that the edges of the stickers are sticking flat on the surface.
2. Pick a spot where it isn’t usually getting touched or scratched, like the bottom of the bottle of lunch box, top end of the pen, blunt side of the blades of the scissors, etc. This will help keep the stickers in place, and will help protect the print or the ink on the stickers as well.

Iron-On Labels

1. Make sure that you apply them on washed and dry clothes, remove any debris on the surface of the fabric that you want to stick it on.
2. Upon application of the labels, wait for 48 hours before putting the clothes into the washing machine or the dryer to get the label to fully stick to the cloth.

Your labels’ lifespan still depends on how they’ll be used on a daily basis, but there’s no harm in doing the extra steps to make the labels last a little longer.
