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.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">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. Here&#8217;s how to choose.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">(If you want proof these things are genuinely waterproof, we once <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=utW64mMy14Y\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">built a boat out of nothing but our name labels and rowed it down the Thames<\/a><\/strong><\/span>.
