Iron-on label usage tips
■
Labels are made from non-toxic
materials; however, attached labels are
stiff, and may rub or scratch the skin if
direct contact occurs.
■
Labels are dry-cleanable and machine
washable.
■
Keep the label length short (up to about
half the width of the iron soleplate).
Labels that are too long may be difficult
to attach or may look distorted due to
the expansion and contraction of the
fabric.
■
Trimming the corners of the label before
attaching it will prevent it from peeling
easily.
■
If a label does peel, it can be re-attached
by ironing; however, it may not adhere as
securely to the fabric.
■
When attaching a label to fabric that may
be frequently washed or dry-cleaned, it is
recommended that the label be sewn on.
■
When using a steam iron, turn the steam
off when ironing on the label.
■
Once a label is attached, it cannot be
easily removed.
■
Never clean the labels with chemicals or
solvents such as benzine, thinner, or
alcohol. Otherwise, the print on the label
may become faint or distorted.
■
If labels are exposed to direct sunlight for
long periods of time, yellowing may
occur.
■
Labels do not adhere to non-fabric
materials such as paper or leather.
■
When using bleach or spot detergent,
make sure you test it in advance.
