clothing label

The labels come in three material types: paper-based labels, a hemp/recycled-paper blend (25% hemp fiber, 75% recycled paper), and polyester fabric labels.

Most paper and hemp blend labels are optimized for laser and inkjet printing. The no-iron polyester fabric labels are not printer-compatible and are intended to be hand-written with a permanent marker. Some paper labels are also easy to customize by pen or marker.

Paper labels are generally easy to write on with pens or markers. The no-iron fabric labels are designed for hand-writing with a permanent marker. Reviews note that writing on some labels does not smear.

No-iron fabric labels are suited for clothing and personal items—examples include medical and industrial uniforms, nursing-home and daycare clothing, employee name labels, kids’ clothing, and laundry items. Paper and sticker labels are often used for household purposes such as jar labels, gift boxes, and shipping labels.

No-iron fabric labels are hand-written with a permanent marker, peeled from their backing, and pressed onto the garment—no ironing required. Paper and sticker labels use a self-adhesive backing; some are permanent while others are removable name-tag style stickers.

The collection includes labels with permanent adhesive (common on many sticker and hemp-blend labels and some fabric no-iron labels) and removable self-adhesive options (found on some name-tag style paper packs).
