Frequently Asked Questions
Q:
What are IdentaMe Labels made out of?
We sell stick on labels and iron on labels. Our stick on labels are made of a thin vinyl that has an industrial strength adhesive on the back. We print your design on the vinyl and then apply a very thin laminate for extra durability. Our iron on labels are made of a printable PVC material. All of the materials used in making our labels, including the inks, are non-toxic and safe for children.

Q:
What can I put my IdentaMe Labels on?
IdentaMe Labels Waterproof Stick On Labels will stick to any hard surfaces and some soft surfaces like leather on a baseball, a dog leash or a diaper bag. Our stick on laundry labels can be applied to garment care tags and brand stamps as well as any hard surface! Iron on labels...well those obviously need to go on fabric! These are best for stretchy items like socks and underpants.

Q:
Are your labels safe for children?
Yes! Our labels themselves are printed with non-toxic, eco-solvent inks on vinyl and then laminated. As with any small item, there can be a choking hazard if swallowed by small children, so we do recommend supervising your children if they want to help in apply their labels.

What do I do if I need to change my shipping address after I've already placed my order?
We process orders very quickly, which is normally a good thing, except when you need to change the shipping address! If you call us the same day as you place the order, no problem! We don't ship until the end of the business day. If you don't discover your error until the next day, there's a chance your labels could already be on the way.

Q:
I've already placed an order, but I need to change something. What should I do?

Q:
How do I remove the labels?
Although our stick on labels are backed with industrial strength adhesive, it is possible to remove them with intent. The easiest way is to start picking at a corner to get it loose and then peel the whole label off. If you're having trouble removing labels - a few seconds under a blow dryer will loosen the adhesive and allow you to peel the label off the surface.
Please note, our iron on labels are a permanent labeling solution and can't be removed!

Q:
How should I apply my labels to my belongings?
Good question! First of all, IdenteMe Labels should always be applied by an adult or under adult supervision. Every set of labels comes with a detailed instruction sheet to aid you in applying your labels. To make sure that your labels will work as expected, it's important that you order the correct size label for your application. Every label page on our website gives you details about the specific label and what you can use that label on. For example, we recommend you stick our smallest labels right to the garment care tags or brand stamps in clothing items. They'll also stick to any hard surfaces.
Our labels love heat and pressure so don't be afraid to really give them a good going over with your thumb or a good squeeze between your thumb and fingers. Another trick to help your labels stick - after applying labels to clothing items, throw them in the dryer for a few minutes and then go over the labels one more time while they are still warm. Make sure to give them 24 hours before putting them in the washing machine.
For hard goods just stick them to a clean dry surface and work any bubbles you find out to the edges with your thumb.

My child/loved one has sensitive skin. Do your clothing labels cause irritation?
Because our labels are laminated, they provide a smooth surface that should not rub or irritate skin.
