Iron-on Fabric Labels
This product can only be used with label printers with
this mark:
Safety instructions
•
Do not touch the soleplate of your iron or the label
immediately after it is attached. Doing so may
cause a burn.
•
Make sure the label is ironed down firmly.
Otherwise, the edges of the label may rub or
scratch the skin.
•
Do not let children use an iron unsupervised.
Doing so may cause accidents such as fire or burns.
•
Do not iron wet fabric.
•
Take extreme care when handling your iron.
Fabric types
Use:
100% Cotton, 100% linen, 100% polyester,
cotton/polyester blends, and fabrics with a flat,
smooth surface.
Don’t use:
Textured fabric such as terry cloth,
corduroy, or flannel, roughly woven fabric, fabric with
a rough surface such as denim, waterproof fabric, and
fabric which requires a cool iron.
Attaching the label
1.
Set your iron to 284 - 320 °F (140 - 160 °C) without
steam.
2.
Make sure the area where you want to attach the
label doesn’t have any wrinkles.
3.
Place the label in the desired location with the
printed side up.
4.
Gently press the iron down on one end of the label
to temporarily attach it in place.
5.
Press the iron firmly down
on the entire label, holding
the iron still for about 10-15
seconds. To make sure the
label adheres securely,
repeat this step 3-4 times.
Note:
Do not use a press
cloth, avoid the steam vents,
and press the entire label firmly.
Label usage
•
The labels are made from non-toxic materials;
however, attached labels are stiff, and may rub or
scratch the skin if direct contact occurs.
•
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.
•
The labels are dry-cleanable and machine-
washable.
•
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 which 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. Be sure of the location before attaching
the label.
•
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, it is
recommended that you test it in advance.
