Applied Labels Review



Twitter           Facebook

With six kids there comes a lot of labeling.
Seriously, EVERYTHING is labeled. Coats, gloves, hats, shoes, boots, backpacks, pencils, lunch boxes, sippy cups, bottles, blanket etc. etc. ALL labeled.
Labeling all those things by hand isn't easy!

Applied Labels is the perfect solution!

We received some labels to try out, and I LOVE them!

I have put them on hats, gloves, shoes, and more. They are so much easier than hand labeling, and much more neat. My handwriting is pretty sloppy, so I like that I don't have to worry about if someone can read what I have written in permanent marker on my kids' clothing.

The label looks much more neat doesn't it?!
The tag label above is on a hat.


The tag labels come with a backing, which is a little difficult to use as you must get them lined up just right, but I found after putting a couple on I got better. TIP- use your thumb as a guide on the short edges...you can line them up more easily that way!

The shoe labels come with a clear cover, as you can see above. This was the very first one we put on and it is in a very little shoe, so it was difficult to place. For other shoes I placed the clear cover on the label before placing the label in the shoe. That made it a lot easier to place the label properly.

So why try Applied Labels? Here is some information from their site:


BETTER ADHESION

Our labels have twice the adhesive strength of most labels.  It is so strong that it is classified as permanent.  The labels can be removed but it takes deliberate action.  That means your labels should stay put until you want them removed. 


BETTER PRINTING TECHNOLOGY & INK
We use a proprietary print technology to produce durable, long-lasting labels that easily withstand harsh environments (such as your dishwasher).  The image is permanently affixed onto the label, providing a durable, robust marking.  This simply means that the ink won't wash off.

BETTER RESOLUTION 
We use high resolution, professional grade print technology to produce sharp, crisp images.


BETTER INNOVATION
We provide a simple, quick method to label clothing with tags that does not require any sewing or ironing onto the fabric or marking the fabric with ink. 


BETTER QUALITY CONTROL & SHIPPING

Our labels are 100% inspected.  We typically print and ship within one to two business days so you get your labels quickly.  Any rare exceptions to our shipping policy will always be posted.  We will also send you both order and shipping confirmations.


BETTER EXPERIENCE & TECHNOLOGY BASE
Applied Labels LLC was founded by a degreed Chemical Engineer and mother of two.  She was a key engineer in charge of labeling for a leading aerospace company and has put her experience with cutting edge technology to work for you.

BETTER MATERIAL SELECTION

We have given careful consideration to the selection of the label materials.  Superior materials yield labels that offer unsurpassed performance.  Basically, these labels are tough.


BETTER SAFETY PROMISE AND MATERIALS KNOWLEDGE 

We promise to always screen our materials for safety of use.  Applied Labels LLC restricts the use of lead, cadmium, mercury, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyl (PBB) / polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE) flame retardants, Di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEPH) and Bisphenol (BPA) in all of our products.    We also had an independent,  third-party laboratory test our Applied LabelsTM and Baby TapesTM for six banned phthalates and heavy metals.  We met or exceeded all government standards. We care about performance but always put safety first. This is our promise to you.

I love that Applied Labels LLC was founded by a MOM! I also love that they are dishwasher and laundry safe, so you know they will be there when you need them to be!

I really had a great experience with Applied Labels and highly recommend them to anyone else who could use labels! 

Applied Labels also has a great selection of products for baby bottles, so if you need labeling for bottles (breastmilk, formula, dating, name, etc) check it out here.




I received the above item for review free of charge. I was not paid to post this review and my opinion is my own. :)
