Just wondering if anyone has had any success with iron-on name tags for
elderly relatives going into residential care?

Reviews seem to be mixed so wondering if it would be better to get
sew-on ones?

Cheers - Pete

Aren't you supposed to put them on the clothing ? :-)

Sounds a bit cruel but I assume you mean for labelling their clothes.

The iron on ones will work on suitable fabrics that will stand a hot
iron but they may still fall off in a commercial laundry hot power wash
after enough cycles. The trick is to get the glue melted uniformly.

Obviously using iron on labels for woollen cardigans and jumpers is a
lost cause. You pretty much have to sew them on.

Both my kids have preprinted self adhesive name tags on their
school uniforms.
Almost zero issues so far except on sport socks where the "knit"
of them seems to hasten the stickers demise....

You'll find your relative wearing other people's clothing no matter what
you do.

And the good stuff will get nicked.

There are, incidentally, suppliers of special clothing that will withstand care home washing or that has extra velcro etc openings so is easier to get on/off or open for toileting etc.

Too true.

I hope I can time that one-way holiday to Switzerland correctly.

Probably worth investing in the Cash's woven, embroidered sew-on ones to
make it harder to remove them.

Trivially easy to kill yourself painlessly without going to Switzerland.

I don't care where I go, as long as I can take a few people with me ;-)

Seems to be not so trivial in Oz, or why would you STILL be living, being a
lonely forsaken senile pest, despised by everyone who gets to know you?

We've used iron-on ones from https://www.mynametags.com on our
children's school uniforms for a number of years now. They have been
very good.

Thanks all.

I'm now thinking perhaps a combination of iron-on and sew-on might be a
good option for the assorted clothes.
Yet another job to sort out.

Do you think you could demonstrate this.

Yes. I expect most men are.
