A labelling system created as a quick and efficient way of identifying clothes.
The discreet buttons are marked with either a person’s name or room number, and fired onto clothing using the Fixxon tools.
The buttons come in six colours so can be colour-coded for different wards of a care home, or simply picked in the wearer’s favourite colour!
Fixxon laser-etch the chosen name/room number onto the buttons and post them to our customer within 2 working days. This quick turnaround means that no clothes get lost in the meantime.
The tools required for easily attaching and removing the buttons are included in the Starter Kits available in our Shop. If you are an individual customer, you will need to order a kit along with your buttons, unless your care home already owns a kit in-house. You can contact your care home to find out if they already use the Fixxon system.

Why Fixxon?
Fixxon is the dignified and reusable alternative to traditional methods of labelling that struggle to meet the needs of an industrial laundry.
A high percentage of care homes in the UK currently use marker pens as their labelling method. This not only looks undignified, but makes it almost impossible to label black garments and certain items of clothing, such as socks and other underwear.
Iron-ons and sew-ins or are extremely time-consuming to attach, and other button labelling systems cause discomfort to the wearer due to their bulky and scratchy backings. These domestic methods of labelling cannot withstand the extreme temperatures and chemicals encountered in a care-home laundry.
Fixxon provides a dignified, comfortable, durable and quick alternative to labelling all clothing and underwear, regardless of material or colour.
Our buttons will not fade or detach in the laundry, but are easily removed using the remover tool provided. The buttons have an unlimited amount of re-use; you can remove and reattach the buttons to other items of clothing as much as you like.
