Name Labels for Care Homes

Original price was: £16.95.Current price is: £13.56.

Are you a relative of someone in a care home or nursing home? Many people choose to label clothes and personal belongings — glasses, cases, walking sticks and slippers — with name labels. Our name labels are hard-wearing and made from good quality materials.

Name labels for care homes and nursing homes

In care and nursing homes, several people often live under the same roof and meet in shared spaces. It’s all too easy for a pair of glasses to be left on the table, or for the knitting to suddenly be a needle or two short. With name labels, you can easily label your loved ones’ belongings so it’s clearer who owns what. Label personal items with stick-on labels. The stick-on labels stand up to 60°C washes and work on most things. Use them on the glasses case, the favourite mug and the slippers. They also work on clothes — just place the label on a synthetic care label.

Iron-on labels for care and nursing homes

Alongside stick-on labels, many people choose iron-ons to label the clothes of loved ones in care. Iron-on labels go straight onto the garment with an iron and are a permanent way of labelling clothes. With our combo pack you get stick-on labels and iron-ons together at a reduced price.

How to apply name labels for care homes

Simple to apply, designed to stay put.

Before you start

  1. Make sure the surface is clean, dry and free from any dust or grease.
  2. On clothes, stick to the synthetic care label inside the garment.
  3. For glasses cases, slippers or anything similar, give the surface a quick wipe first.

Stick them on

  1. Peel the label from the sheet.
  2. Place it where you want it, press down firmly, smooth out any bubbles.
  3. Wait 24 hours before exposing to water.
  4. Once cured, they handle a 60°C wash, the tumble dryer and even the dishwasher.

Tip: Don’t forget to label small items like eyeglasses and knitting supplies.

How to use iron-on labels

Peel off an iron-on label and place it where you want it on the textile. Put a sheet of greaseproof paper over the label before warming the area with an iron. The iron should be on a high heat without steam.

Press down and move the iron over the area for 10 to 15 seconds, or until the label has “melted” into the fibres. You shouldn’t feel any “edges” on the label when it’s been applied properly. Wait 24 hours before exposing the label to water.

Both stick-on and iron-on labels are 1.3 cm x 3 cm.
Yes — machine washable to 60°C and dishwasher safe. Apply to a clean, dry surface and give them 24 hours to cure.
Most smooth surfaces — synthetic care labels in clothes, plus glasses cases, slippers, mugs, walking sticks and most personal belongings. Avoid sticking directly onto fabric or cotton care labels — those need iron-on labels instead.
Yes — best on the inside of the shoe or on the tongue. Avoid the insole, which wears out faster.
Yes — lift a corner with a fingernail or tweezers and peel away gently.
They're designed to be permanent, so removal is fiddly. Things to try: iron over with steam, then lift with tweezers. A coffee filter under the iron can absorb the adhesive. Adhesive remover, rubbing alcohol and stain remover can also help.
Yes — iron-on labels are made for socks, wool and any fabric without a care label.
Production starts right away, so changes are only possible briefly. Once printed, no changes possible.
All labels in a set come with the same text. For multiple residents, initials or surnames work well.
Free postage, normally 2-4 working days, straight to your letterbox.
Free from phthalates, BPA and PFAS. Tested regularly under REACH and Prop65.

I wanted labels for my moms clothing & possessions since shes in assisted living.   I ordered & received them quickly a few weeks ago, but i had set them aside.   I finally got around to the project of tagging everything and I must say that the labels are great!  I love that i was able to personalize them even more by adding a design.  Mom is native american so I felt the dream catcher was apropos.  Thank You!!

Very nice labels. Good quality and stick well. I was gifted a set up name labels by a family member in Germany when my child started Montessori and we now ordered a new batch for school. Could have ordered from Ireland but these labels are almost half price compared to any Irish or UK company I could find online and delivery from Germany to Ireland was free and fast. Highly recommend.

I’ve been using these labels for a few years now for anything of my son’s, from winter gear to water bottles and even some sports gear. I love that they’re easy to apply, stay on through truly anything, and yet somehow miraculously are easy to remove without residue or tearing if items get donated or sold. Highly recommend.
