Labels for school uniform and equipment
I've got loads of sew/iron in labels for school clothes but I'm looking for some recommendations for waterproof labels that can stick to things like water bottles and survive in the dishwasher.
Also, I always struggle to find places to write names on shoes and was chatting to someone who had got labels that fit into shoes and stay in! Unfortunately it was some time ago that they bought them and they can't remember where they came from.
I've done a google search and found loads of websites offering these sort of things but I was hoping that someone would be able to recommend a reputable place where I could purchase labels from.
Thanks

Cash's do the shoe labels and general labels for equipment (calculators etc) which have a transparent waterproof "cover" that sticks over the label. I have found them good; the shoe ones outlast the shoes. I'm not sure that they would survive dishwashing though! Personally, for that I use a permanent marker pen and redo when necessary.
I use easy2name - they are sticky and iron on so can be used on clothes or hard stuff like calculators and lunch boxes, you can buy see through over-stickers for shoes (the same sort of thing as Kent99 mentions, but I think Clarks do something similar, too). For things that go in the dishwasher I use a CD marking pen - the sort that you use to write on CDRoms - but I'm sure any permanent marker would do the same job.
I had a very productive rainy afternoon this week attaching name tapes to shirts, jumpers, trousers.........
