The durable alternative to sew-on name tags, DYMO LT Iron-On Fabric Labels make it easy to create long-lasting, machine-washable identification for clothing, towels, and backpacks. Designed for convenience and reliability, these labels bond quickly with heat, offering a faster and more consistent solution than traditional sewing.
This version features black text on white tape, 12mm wide and 2m in length.
Compatible with Dymo Label Printers that support LetraTag (LT) tapes.
Applying Your Iron-On Labels
For best results, apply to smooth fabrics such as cotton, linen, or cotton/polyester blends. These labels are not recommended for delicate or heat-sensitive materials such as silk, wool, or 100% polyester.
Because iron temperatures can vary, it is strongly recommended to test a sample label on a similar fabric before final application. This helps ensure the best adhesion without damaging the garment.
To apply, print your label using your LetraTag machine and remove the backing. Prepare the garment by ironing the application area to remove wrinkles, then position the label where required. Cover with a clean cotton cloth and press firmly with a medium-high iron for around 10 seconds without moving it. Repeat this process several times, paying extra attention to the edges, allowing the label to cool slightly between applications for maximum adhesion.
Fabric Compatibility
These iron-on labels are designed for everyday fabrics and perform best on smooth, natural or blended textiles.
They are suitable for cotton, linen, and cotton/polyester blends, but are not recommended for textured fabrics, water-resistant materials, or heat-sensitive garments. Avoid use on wool, silk, or heavily synthetic fabrics where adhesion may be reduced or fabric damage may occur.
Washing and Care
Once properly applied, labels are designed to withstand regular washing and everyday wear. For best results, wash garments below 60°C using mild detergent where possible.
Avoid prolonged exposure to bleach, as this may cause fading or discolouration of the label over time.
Removing the Label
If a label needs to be removed, it can be softened using heat. Apply a medium-high iron directly over the label for approximately 10 seconds, then gently lift a corner using tweezers and peel slowly away from the fabric.
If the label cools during removal, simply reapply heat and continue. Take care during this process, as both the fabric and iron will be hot.
