How To
Attaching Found!t Tags:
This handy little page is your guide to getting Found!t tags safely stuck to all the usual suspects—uniforms, water bottles, lunchboxes, and everything in between. Whether it’s fabric, plastic, or metal, we’ll show you the easiest way to attach your tags so lost items can find their way home (without any guesswork or gluey disasters).
STICKERS 🏷️
Lunch boxes, water bottles, calculators & hard supplies
How to apply:
1.Clean and dry the surface thoroughly before applying.
2.Peel the backing and press the sticker firmly onto a flat area of the item.
3.Press down on all edges for 10–15 seconds to ensure a strong bond.
✅ For best results, wash items with warm soapy water. Not microwave safe.
IRON-ON 👕
For school uniform, PE kit & clothing items
How to apply:
1.Set your iron to a medium heat (no steam). Check the garment label — avoid high heat on delicate fabrics.
2.Place the clothing on a hard, flat ironing surface.
3.Position the tag adhesive-side down on the inside of the garment (collar, waistband, inside care labels are ideal spots).
4.Place a thin cloth over the tag to protect the fabric, then press the iron firmly for 30 seconds without moving it.
5.Leave to cool for 30 seconds, then press again from the reverse side of the fabric for extra hold.
6.Wait 24 hours before washing the item.
✅ Iron on are machine washable, for best results, wash inside out and can tumble dry up to 200 cycles.
SEW ON 🧵
Buttons and Patch for school uniform, PE kit & clothing items (sew-on)
How to apply:
1.Thread a needle with a double length of thread in a colour that blends with the garment. Knot the thread at the end.
2.Choose a discreet location — (collar, waistband, inside care labels are ideal spots).
3.Position the button tag and sew through each hole several times (4–6 passes) to secure it firmly.
4.Knot the thread securely on the underside and trim any excess.
5.Tug gently to test the tag is secure before wearing.
✅ Button tags are machine washable and the most durable long-term option.
