The nametags must melt themselves onto the fabric so that there is no chance that they will come off. If you find that the print starts to melt and smudge, please iron them for slightly less time.
One tip to check if it has been ironed on properly - try to peel it off with your finger nails. If it appears to be secure, it should be fine in the wash.
We recommend a minimum of 8 seconds, but irons do vary.
