    These come up as £4.99 at the moment
  • just checked they came up as £3.99 although both codes are now showing red - must be sold out of black (white background red writing)

    Even cheaper still:

    buy a permanent freezer pen and write the childs name on the brand/size label of the clothing.

    It lasts for ages, but I do have quick glance when I'm folding/ironing their clothes to make sure it hasn't faded!
    Here I go again on my own....

    If you have more than one child and want the printed sew-in labels - opt to have them printed with just your surname. Labels can then be used by all the family!
    "Cheap", "Fast", "Right" -- pick two.

    Or, for two children, have e.g. Alice Smith John and then cut off the end you don't want. :D
    If you lend someone a tenner and never see them again, it was probably worth it.

    I haven't used this company but find in general with iron on tapes that they tend to come unstuck after a few washes, and even quicker if you put clothes in Tumble Dryer so they are not very practical for me.

    :confused:

    Usually depends on the Quality of the Labels, I've baught some from Uniform Direct (great service) last year and they've been fine. The essential point is to follow the instuctions precisely; say to iron then cool them 3 times... I did it 5 to be sure, lol!! :money: ...it seems to have worked!!
