Where to apply? Apply your stick on labels directly to the garment’s size or care tag. For tag less clothing, apply to the branded ink stamp For hard goods, just find a clean dry surface and peel and stick. When can I wash them? Wait 24 hours before putting your stick on labels through the laundry or dishwasher. This gives the adhesive some time to bond with your stuff. It’s also a good idea to wash clothing once before applying the labels. This removes chemicals and excess dyes from the fabric How to apply? When applying your labels PRESS FIRMLY! Really give’em a good going over with your thumb or squeeze the label and the care tag between your thumb and fingers more pressure means more stick! Also make sure there aren’t and bubbles under the labels and that all of the edges are stuck. That way, water won’t get under the label and loosen the bond. For hard goods, just peel and stick. Remember: pressure=good, air bubbles-bad! What not to do? Please try not to apply your label to garments that have been treated with stain or water repellant. Non-Stick surfaces are no friends of stocky labels!
