My little grand daughter started Kindergarten this year and already she has lost quite a few things at school. You know the drill parents…if your kid’s items are not labeled, you rarely get them back once they are gone. If this sounds like a problem you deal with…read on!
Recently I was sent the Epson LW-300 Label Printer and the Epson LabelWorks Iron-on Kit to review for all of you. As soon as I heard about this product, I knew it would solve a big problem in our household.
The LabelWorks Iron-on Kit can easily create personalized iron-on labels for clothing, bags, school items, uniforms, sports jerseys and more. With a wide variety of fonts, symbols, and frames, labels can be easily customized and printed with a few clicks of a button.
The durable, machine-washable, iron-on labels can be applied to almost any fabric in just a few seconds. Perfect for preparing your child for summer camp, school, sport participation or for scout clubs and sleepovers. The iron-on kit ensures your items have a unique and custom identification.
* Choose from 14 font types and 10 font styles
* Built-in memory stores up to 30 label design files
* Prints up to two lines of text
* Works with tapes from 6mm to 12mm wide
* Works with iron-on tape, sticky labels & printable ribbons
* Automatically prints with a split back for easy & fast peeling
So how easy is it to use you might be saying to yourself? Super easy…even if you are techie challenged you can do this!!! It comes with simplified instructions and after reading them for 3 or 4 minutes, I was ready to go.
You turn on the unit and a folder icon with the number 01 will appear in the display. As you start typing the folder icon will change color to indicate label design file “01” is in use. You can insert one of 300+ symbols that are pre-programmed in the unit or try out one of the 75+ frames to add a design element. Choose one of 14 different fonts or one of the 10 font styles.
While you are designing your labels you can easily change the design without starting over at the beginning which is super cool as I had a hard time deciding on exactly what I wanted the first time around. Once you have your design done, you simply print your label by pressing the green printer button and wait for the label to finish printing & then cut the label by pressing the green button the side of the unit. Easy Peasy!
While trying out the Epson LabelWorks Iron-On Kit…I made several labels for the Princess and several labels for my husband. He often travels for business and I wanted to label his suits & other clothing that he takes with him. I was able to do many labels for the two of them in under 30 minutes time. Once I was done, I fired up my iron and got busy ironing the labels onto their items.
I do have a piece of advice for all of you moms & grandmothers out there. When printing out your labels, print out more than what you think you need. Then store them in a little container and as you come across items you need to label, you will have some stockpiled for use! I am storing mine in an empty plastic spice jar in my sewing box.
Overall, I am really pleased with this kit! I am going to go out and get some more iron-on tape so that I can label a slew of our linens down at the beach house that people seem to always walk off with. Yes, I am definitely going to do that!

This is easy to use and it is something of which you should make more than you think you need and store them for later use. It is so much easier than when I was a child and my grandmother made labels carefulyl by hand and sewed them on my items.
