What is the difference between Scrapbooks and Clever Kangaroo Scrapbooks?

The Clever Kangaroo Scrapbook covers will fit Clever Kangaroo branded scrapbooks (or oterh brands) which measure up to 340mm (H) x 240mm (W).
What is the tape for inside the Scrapbook and Clever Kangaroo Scrapbook covers?
As the scrapbook cover is a large cover we have included a double sided low-tack tape to help hold the cover in position. Some people choose not to use the tape, the cover stays on fine without it.
Do you need any glue with EZ Covers?
No, the covers slide on and fit snugly until you are ready to take them off, there is no need for any glue.

How can I tell if other covers that I see in Newsagents have PVC in them, and what is so bad about PVC?
PVC is usually quite thick and has a 1-2mm seal running horizontally and vertically around the cover. The recycling code for PVC is 3. The additives used to make PVC soft have been associated with a number of health risks. Click here to read the Wikipedia article.

Personalised Labels
Are your labels dishwasher and microwave safe?
Yes, the name and book labels are safe for the dishwasher and microwave. To ensure your labels keep looking great, we recommend that you stick the label onto the item you are naming and leave it for at least 12 hours before putting them into the microwave or dishwasher. That way the label has time to make a strong adhesive bond with the item.
Why won’t my labels stay on?
Our vinyl labels are designed to stick to any solid object. If you've had a label not stick correctly, please send us a picture of the labelled item so we can see what’s involved and look for a solution together.
It is likely due to the label backing not having enough time to cure (stick to) the item you are naming. Also please be aware that the labels will have issues adhering to rough surfaces.
Iron-on labels will stick when ironed on with a medium level heat, as per the instructions. If you're having trouble with Iron-on labels not sticking, we suggest holding the iron in place for longer. If you have further issues, please contact us.
How do I iron on your labels?
Please see our handy instructions here. An instruction sheet is also sent with the labels so you have got the information when you need it.
Where should I place the iron-on label on my garment?
We have several helpful hints for label placement on clothing here. This helpful sheet is also included with your order so you’ll have the information when you need it.
Why did my iron-on label shrivel when I ironed it?
Oh dear! If the iron-on label starts to shrivel or melt, this means your iron’s heat setting is too high and you might have forgotten to add the layer of baking paper between the iron and the label/fabric. If you iron-on the labels without the baking paper, the labels will shrivel.
What size are your labels?
We have a wide range of label styles and sizes - you can see details on each product page
