Re: [TheCostumersManifesto] Iron On Costume Labels

i've seen these at the national costumers association convention. they were
really expensive (mostly the machine that pressed them on was the pricey part, i
think).
they advertise in the publication....and on their website, i think.
 
but...
 
i'm thinking of making them myself with printable iron-on-transfer paper.  iron
onto cheap fabric and serge the edges?
my friend who now owns my old costume rental shop had a stamp made and stamps
fabric...serges the edges and sews that into the costumes.
if it's the iron-on part that you're attracted to...you can get the printable
paper that's made for dark fabrics (actually transfers white, rather then the
regular that is clear where white should be).

Hello!

I am looking for a good source for custom Iron on labels to be put in
costumes.
I would like the labels to say the name of my department and have a
line for the name of the actor or character the costume was created
for. I have seen these, so I know I'm not asking the impossible. :)

thanks in advance for all your help!
