This product is a bit pricey, but it is so much quicker to use when I had to label my daughter's school items, including my daughter's tennis shoes and jazz shoes. I printed up her name and was able to use the tip of my hot iron to transfer the name label onto the inside tongue of her shoes. I've also used it to label the inside of her ski gloves, socks, just about everything that she has to take to classes....easier to use than a fabric ink pen and you can place the label in a discrete place on the item.

I have even used it to label many of my rock and mineral specimens. Those labels have stayed on so far. I'm curious to see whether they stay on those rocks or not.

My husband needed to label his mother's clothes as she was in a nursing home and labeling clothing is the only way to prevent property loss. I designed one label and printed it out about thirty times. Then, he ironed them on to her clothing, typically affixing the iron-on label over the product label inside the garmet. We were impressed that the iron-on labels survived laundering and remained affixed and did not fade. This is much quicker than sewing name tags onto clothing. I think the fabric tape will come in handy for labeling jackets and the like for our kids.

I add a little personal touch to my sewing projects using this easy to use fabric tape. By typing a personal message then sewing it to the project, you give each gift a unique touch. It was too bad that I ordered and paid for two but only received one. I emailed the company but never received a response. The product is great though.

I bought this labeling tape to mark my son's clothes at daycare (required). Fabric pens are messy and hit or miss on ruing the actual garments. Overall I'm pretty pleased with the the labelmaker tapes. I've learned that you have to watch the heat setting on your iron (not too hot) and really apply pressure for a bit for good adhesion. I've labeled approximately a dozen items and only had two tags fall off in the wash. I would recommend for anyone using for a similar purpose.

Although this stuff is expensive it pays for itself the first time you get the winter coat your kid left at the park back because you had your phone number it. It stays on through the wash (at least for 25 times), is easy to put into clothing and is not scratchy.

I put my home and cell phone number on the inside tongue of my kids shoes (since they wear shoes every day and do not have that many pairs it means they always have the info). If they are separated from me they have the numbers so I can be reached. I used to try to write it with a sharpie, but it is often tough to find enough "blank space" to write a legible phone number. In fact, I used to write my phone number ON my kids with a sharpie when we would go to say, an amusement park, but this is less embarrassing for all.

Most of the time I iron it onto the label tag. Do not try to iron on plastic (such as raincoats) or some nylon that will melt at high temps.
