For <strong>water bottles, lunchboxes and school supplies<\/strong>, use stick-on labels on the clean hard surface. For <strong>clothes<\/strong>, stick the label onto the garment&#8217;s care label (not the fabric itself) or use iron-on labels. Look for labels rated for the dishwasher <em>and<\/em> the washing machine, and buy from an established specialist with strong reviews and a long guarantee.<\/p><p>Every parent has been there: you write your child&#8217;s name on a water bottle in marker pen, and by half-term it&#8217;s a grey smudge and the bottle&#8217;s been claimed by someone else. Proper waterproof name labels solve this &#8211; but only if you pick the right type for each item.

A proper waterproof adhesive bonds to smooth surfaces and survives heat, water and friction.<\/li><li><strong>No reliance on lamination.<\/strong> Sticking a clear &#8220;protective&#8221; layer over a non-waterproof label is a common bodge.
