Mini Iron-on Clothing Labels
Size: 6mm x 35mm
The best clothing labels for smaller items of clothing that need naming.
Our mini iron-on clothing labels are ideal for all the little bits of clothing that need to be named - school hats, socks, undies, scarves, ties, handkerchiefs - to name a few. Because they are discreet, these iron on name labels are also perfect for older kids who don't really want to have their uniform named. But we all know that school blazers are expensive and still need to be labelled so they can be returned if they are lost.
These labels are best with just a name as any more detail such as a phone number will make the lettering too small and difficult to read. If you need to add a phone number as well we suggest our standard size iron-on labels. Or if you would like a little bit of everything check out our mixed clothing label pack.
Made from a durable polyester material that will stretch with the fabric they are applied to, they have a super strong adhesive which means they will stay put through the washing machine and tumble dryer.
WARNING: Never place your iron directly onto the label as it will melt and stick to the bottom of the iron.
To Apply a Label
- Use a hot, dry iron – NO steam.
- Remove the mini iron-on clothing label from the backing sheet and place in position on the clothing.
- Place the non-stick baking paper supplied with your labels over the mini label.
- Place the iron onto the label and press firmly for 4-5 seconds. This time may vary from one iron to another so please test this to get the heat/time required for your iron right.
- Allow the paper to cool before removing it from over the mini label.
- The heat from the iron melts the label and activates the adhesive. Then as the label cools it firms up again with the adhesive activated. When it is attached correctly you will see the texture of the fabric impressed through the label.
To Remove a Label
- You will need to reverse the process you used to apply the mini label. Place the baking paper provided over the label and reheat the label with a hot dry iron.
- Immediately remove the baking paper and while the label is still hot pull it from a corner. Use a finger nail or a blunt knife to do this but please be careful not to burn yourself. You need to do this before the label cools down.
- The mini label will be soft and stretchy while it is hot and should peel away from the clothing.
- As it cools it may break and you will have to repeat this process until all bits of the label have been removed.
- Remember these mini labels are designed to be permanent. If you would like a temporary label try our Stick-on Clothing Labels
1) Why are my mini iron-on clothing labels coming off in the wash? I did follow the instructions when I applied them.
We find that the main reason mini iron-on clothing labels come off is because either not enough heat has been used or the iron was not left on the label for long enough. If the back surface of the label that has come off is still shiny then the adhesive has not been activated. The settings on every iron are a little different so it us best to use one of the extra labels we provide to do a couple of test runs first.
2) I have lost the paper you gave me to use with my mini iron-on labels. Can you tell me what it is?
It is non-stick baking paper, either Glad Bake or Multix Bake (in Australia) which can be bought at the supermarket.
3) I need to remove a mini iron-on clothing label from some clothing. How can I get it off?
Please see instructions under the ‘How to Apply’ tab.

Name Label Design Tips & Advice
Name Only Name Label Design
Unless you have a very long name put the name on a single line. We never recommend putting a name on 2 lines unless absolutely necessary.
Name and Picture on the Label
Pictures help little kids recognise their things.
Label with Name & Phone Number
Sometimes a phone number is useful
Long Names on a Label
Longer names look best placed on 2 lines.
Shoe Labels
Most names will be easier to read on 2 lines.
Party Bag Label
Party bag labels can also be used with just a name on other items too.
Personalised Bag Tags
Names look best with the name on 2 lines.
