Applying Labels
Attaching your labels
Press the entire label firmly, avoid the steam
vents, and do not use a press cloth.
1. Set your iron to 284–320 °F (140–160 °C),
without steam.
2. Make sure the area where you want to
attach the label doesn't have any
wrinkles.
3. Place the label in the desired location
with the printed side up.
4. Gently press the iron down on one end of
the label to temporarily attach it in place.
5. Press the iron firmly
down on the entire label,
holding the iron still for
about 10 to 15 seconds.
To make sure the label
adheres securely, repeat
this step 3 or 4 times.
