    Best name labels for daycare?

    Hi I am wondering which are the best value for money name labels? Is there any way I can do them myself? I am after iron on clothes labels and stickers for lunchboxes and drinkbottles. I have previously got stuckonyou but find they fall off quite easily (the stickers).
    TIA

    I got identikid and they've been on for over a year no probs. I did notice a while back that at my local Big W they have an "instant" label print machine there now? Don't know how good they are. I love the ones we got though, I got a pack which had the clothes, shoe labels, large, small and also a bag tag. Oskar chose spider as his picture lol.

    I use a Dyno Labeller (a friend uses the PT labeller) you can get iron label tapes for them and plastic label tapes. I'm pretty happy with how they're going. The iron ones do come off eventually - usually the ones DS wears more often so they go through the washing machine more often. The plastic ones have stayed on his bottles.

    Will be back to add more - DS wants his couch cover put back on - he pooped on it this morning and it needed a wash.


    ETA:

    I got the labeller at Officeworks but I've seen them advertised elsewhere.

    The size of the print is adjustable and you can have either 1 or 2 lines of print, and borders are possible. Ink is black but you can print on different coloured plastics (for the plastic labels) and only on white for the iron-ons.

    I can't remember exactly how much I paid for the labeller - I think it was somewhere between $30 - $70. Tapes are about $14 for the iron-on ones and a bit less than that for the plastic label tapes. Can't remember exactly how much for the plastics as I bought a couple to start with and haven't needed to get more. I have gone through a couple of iron-on tapes - mainly because DS changed clothes sizes so I had to label a whole new set of clothes - I label everything except the PJs as I don't dress DS in the morning - DH does, so anything could be on DS for CC when he goes.

    Oz labels - all one word .com.au - got these for DS for school - they have a kindy pack for $25 including postage - includes bottle labels, shoe labels and iron on labels - so far so good and at that price not a huge gamble - good luck
