How-to Instructions for labels
Tag Buddies | StickIn Clothing Labels
1. Ensure that the clothing is clean and 100% dry before application.
2. Apply the labels to the garment tag / size tag / brand tag for best results.
3. Press firmly and make sure all corners are down.
DO NOT IRON ON TAG BUDDIES
4. Wait 24h before you wash or dry the garment.
Iron-on / Sew-in Labels
1. Remove all water from the iron. Set iron on medium to high heat. The iron needs to be dry.
2. Turn clothes inside out. Peel and place label face-up on clothing
3.Place WAX OR BAKING PAPER over the label and apply lots of PRESSURE for 10 - 15 seconds. Do this 3 times.
4. You can then sew the label into the clothing for added support, but is not essential.
The medium heat setting differs on home irons. To ensure the adhesive has been melted sufficiently, we recommend taking a piece of scrap material or old shirt and doing a test. Keep repeating step 3, using 15-20 seconds at a time until you see a crease appear.
The crease means it's been slightly “over cooked”. Use the time it took to crease, minus a few seconds (to avoid creasing) to iron on all your labels!
Wrap around pen & pencil labels
1. Peel the label off the sheet.
2. Apply the white end of the label to the object/pen.
(The straighter the bottom of the label on the pen, the better it seals)
3. Wrap the clear part around the pen over the white area while maintaining a firm tension.
Tip: It helps to apply the label and hold it still while rolling the pen to take up the extra label, photographic instructions are provided with the labels.

Pro tips to make sure your labels last!
The adhesives used on all our name labels are “pressure activated” and will only stick properly after sufficient pressure has been applied. Gently peel the label off the sheet without letting the labels fold. Once you have positioned the label, rub firmly, applying pressure over the whole label from one end to the other (avoids air getting trapped). Pay special attention to the corners and edges!
