I don't buy these or the saw on one any more after a heard a parent saying that after loosing a number of her son's school sweatshirts she took someone else's and removed the name tag! I also had lost a few which had names in. I stead I now mark everything up with sharpie marker pens.0

On the labels in the clothing, the only way of getting rid of the name is to cut all of the tags out!0 -

That's just as easy as peeling/cutting the iron/sew in ones though

I sew his initials on the inside of his sleeve seam as well as writing on the label, then if I think it's his but the label is missing, I can check down the arm for it, no one ever thinks to look there."There is no substitute for time."

I write in big letters across the back of the collar (above where the label is). The letters are about an inch big so there's no mistake. I only write the surname so I can pass them on to the next child along.
Labels are useful for blazers and dark items where marker pen won't show up."A savoury muffin?? As if life wasn't disappointing enough!" Miranda0 -
I used these before and despite following the instructions, the labels came off in the first wash. 30p is probably about the right price.0
