Iron-on name labels for nursery by StickerKid… love them!

Warning: Since the year I wrote this post, many things have changed and I have embarked on an eco-friendly and sustainable journey. Today I would no longer choose these labels… in fact, I wouldn’t choose any label and I would try not to use unnecessary plastic. A good waterproof marker on the trouser label might be enough.

NB. This is a sponsored post. StickerKid was so kind to send me some of their products to try and, as I liked them, I decided to share them with you.

I said I was going to come back in September, but I think this post might come in handy before our kids go back to nursery/school, so here I am to tell you about a product that I’ve been using the summer. This is what happened:

A few weeks before the summer camp, I got an email from the principal: “All the garments must be labeled with the kid’s name.” Ouch! It opened a whole new world in front of my eyes of first-time mum: clothing labels for nursery!

StickerKid came to the rescue with a selection of iron-on name labels for clothes. Oliver and I made the order together and he himself chose the pictures he wanted — animals are super big at the moment, so we chose lions for Oliver’s iron-on stickers for clothes, tigers for Oliver’s round stickers (I picked these round stickers and we’re using them for anything, toys, backpack, water bottles, books…), and “Maia the bee” for Emily’s round stickers, but there are plenty of logos and characters to choose from. It’s better to iron them on a smooth part area, but they also work on the elastic waist line of trousers (yes, I tested them thoroughly!).

I have to admit it, I was a bit skeptical: a sticker that resists the washer and the dryer? But StickerKid proved me wrong: these iron-on labels for clothes are super resistant, easy to apply by following the instructions (iron on 160°C, baking paper in between, hold down for 20 seconds, and do not wash for 48 hours), making them ideal for nursery or any situation where clothes have to be machine washed almost daily.

In my order, I also included these “ironless” labels (“no-iron” was the magic word for me ;-), but they’re definitely less resistant to the washing machine and the dryer, which makes them better used for garments that don’t need to be washed often, like swimsuits, hats — I even used them for Oliver’s nursery slippers, even though Stickerkid does sell special shoe labels.

And for the beach, a day at the mall and the trip to Finland we did in August, I also ordered these safety wristbands that are practical and don’t seem to bother Oliver (who was, indeed, super excited to wear them because they have a bike on them… vehicles are our other great passion at the moment!).

If you need stickers and name labels, I highly recommend them, and StickerKid was so kind to send me a 10% discount code for La Tela readers! It’s very easy to use: just choose your products, add them to your basket, proceed to check-out and at the end activate the code LATELADICARLOTTA by entering it in the Coupon form. Easy peasy!

Happy labelling to us, and happy return to school to our little ones!
