The school-uniform range

Same labelling job, five COLOP stamp bodies

All stamp bodies have the same 38 × 14mm format, two-line personalisation and textile-ink specification. Choose the stamp body style you prefer.

A reliable first impression

Label the uniform before the first school day

1

Choose the wording

Use the child's name on line one. Add a class, year group or contact number only when it genuinely helps the item return.

2

Pick a hidden flat area

Start with an inside fabric panel or a suitable absorbent care label. Avoid seams, thick texture and areas that stretch heavily.

3

Test before the garment

Check the layout and pressure on spare fabric first. Different fibres and finishes absorb textile ink differently.

4

Stamp, dry and check

Press evenly on a firm surface, allow the mark to dry fully and follow the supplied care guidance before washing.

Best places to stamp school items

Choose a light, smooth, absorbent and discreet area wherever possible.

  • Inside school shirts and polo tops
  • Interior fabric panels on PE kit
  • Suitable cotton or absorbent care labels
  • Fabric pump bags, book bags and tote bags
  • Flat fabric inside coats and jumpers

Test these before relying on the mark

Not every garment surface behaves like plain cotton.

  • Dark or black fabric where a dark mark has little contrast
  • Shiny synthetic care labels and coated name panels
  • Waterproof, water-repellent or non-absorbent fabrics
  • Thick fleece, open knits, seams and ribbed areas
  • Garments normally washed above the published 30°C limit

Two lines, kept useful

Simple wording stays easier to read

The live personaliser currently allows up to 20 characters on each of two lines. Avoid filling both lines merely because the space is available.

ALEX MORGAN

Name + year or class

Easy for school staff to identify without putting personal contact details on the garment.

Fabric and laundry checks

Make the mark last as well as the garment allows

Test the exact fabric

Fibre, weave, dye and finishing treatments all affect sharpness and absorption. A hidden test is the safest check.

Do not rush the first wash

Let the impression dry fully and follow the product's supplied instructions before laundering the item.

Stay within the published limit

The current Stamp Ninja product pages state machine washable up to 30°C. Do not promise suitability for a hotter uniform cycle.

School-uniform stamp questions

What can I put on the school-uniform stamp?

The current personaliser offers one or two lines with up to 20 characters on each line. A child's name plus class, year group or contact number normally gives the clearest useful result.

Can the stamp go directly onto every fabric?

No. Smooth, light-coloured and absorbent fabric gives the best chance of a clear mark. Test a hidden area first; waterproof, coated, shiny, heavily textured and very dark materials may be unsuitable.

Is the impression machine washable?

The current product specification states machine washable up to 30°C. Allow the impression to dry fully and follow the supplied care instructions before washing.

Where should I stamp a school shirt?

Choose a discreet, flat and absorbent inside area. A suitable cotton care label can work, but shiny synthetic labels may resist the ink, so always make a hidden test first.

Will the name show on dark school uniform?

A dark textile impression needs contrast and may be difficult or impossible to read on black or navy fabric. Use a suitable light-coloured label or another contrasting labelling method instead of relying on a direct mark.

Compare the two products

Choose the stamp body, then add the same school details

The current range contains two COLOP bodies with the same dimensions, just different body styles.

LOOK

Check marks through the school year

Repeated washing, friction and fabric wear can reduce clarity. Inspect the name periodically and re-mark when needed.

A textile stamp is not a universal fabric marker

The clearest results come from smooth, light-coloured and absorbent fabric. Dark garments need a light label or another contrasting labelling method, while waterproof and coated materials should be treated as unsuitable unless a hidden test proves otherwise.

What is the difference between the two current stamps?

The current catalogue identifies COLOP Printer C20 and COLOP Printer 20 Microban bodies. Both listings publish the same 38 × 14mm format, two-line personalisation and textile-ink use; compare their product photographs and live details.
