Product Information
Full details
The Hemline Permanent Labelling Pen is an essential tool for parents, students, and caregivers who need to organize clothing or personal items. Designed for laundry marking, this pen provides a reliable way to write names directly onto garments or iron-on name tapes, ensuring labels remain legible through multiple wash cycles. While it is perfect for high-contrast fabric surfaces, users should note that the medium ballpoint tip may bleed slightly on extremely thin or delicate, porous fabrics.

FAQs
Is this pen safe for all fabric types?
It works on most textiles, but always test on a scrap or hidden area first, especially on synthetic blends or delicate fabrics.
Will the ink fade in hot water washes?
The ink is designed to be permanent and resistant to standard laundry conditions, including warm water cycles.
Can I use this on dark clothing?
Because the ink is permanent black, it is best suited for light or white colored fabrics. It may not be legible on dark or black items.
How long does the ink take to dry?
The ink dries relatively quickly, but we recommend waiting 24 hours before putting the garment through the washing machine to ensure the ink is fully set.
Can I remove the ink if I make a mistake?
The Hemline Permanent Labelling Pen uses permanent ink intended to resist washing, so it is generally not removable once applied to fabric.
Troubleshooting
Ink flow seems inconsistent or dry
Try scribbling on a scrap piece of paper for a few seconds to encourage ink flow to the ballpoint tip.
Ink is bleeding through the fabric
Place a piece of cardboard or thick paper under the fabric layer before writing to prevent the ink from marking the surface underneath.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best results, always test the pen on a small, inconspicuous area of the fabric first to check for potential ink bleeding. For optimal longevity, allow the ink to set for at least 24 hours before the first wash. To care for the pen, always replace the cap securely after use to prevent the ink from drying out. Store the pen horizontally or with the tip facing down to maintain consistent ink flow for future tasks.
