Name labels. We use them all the time. From the work place (I used to label my stationery so that it would have a higher chance of getting my stuff back if my students borrowed them), to our children's belongings. Even though our boys are "home-schooled" currently, we've had to label some of their stuff like their water bottles, since they attend Sunday school. And they also love having their names stuck on various belongings, like their notebooks and art journals (Lil J points at his name and declares loudly "J's one!").
There's a whole range of name labels out there, and recently we were given the chance to try out those from Stickerkid, a Swiss company. Here's some reasons why we like the Stickerkid labels:
:: You get quality: These stickers are made in Switzerland, and the stickers can be applied to almost any surface (except Teflon). Those we tried stick well, and have showed no signs of peeling even though the boys use their art journals very frequently.
:: You get durability: These stickers are supposed to be dishwasher-safe and can withstand microwaving, water, sun and sand, so they are perfect for labeling water bottles, lunch boxes and swim gear. They are so confident of the quality of their stickers, that they are able to provide a ten year warranty on them!
:: There are different styles and sizes to suit any taste: The stickers come in different sizes, ranging from extra large (that allow you to have six lines of text), to small stickers that fit perfectly on pens and pencils. You get to customize the stickers, from the background colours, to the font and logos to be printed on them. Junior J loved his stickers with the dinosaurs on them, and Lil J was thrilled to have yellow trucks on his labels. I like how you can choose the background colours as well as the fonts, since you sometimes don't get that option when ordering stickers from other companies!
:: You get to label clothes: Stickerkid stocks clothing labels that can be ironed-on. These labels can be machine-washed up to 45 times at 60 degrees Celsius. Most useful, especially for school uniforms and PE attire, which gets mixed up very frequently (trust me, I taught in an all-boys school and had to dispose of ownerless, sweaty singlets once too often). And not only are they durable, they can be removed easily using a hot iron, should you need to pass on those clothes to a younger sibling. I love that the labels are thin and flexible, and do not chafe the skin!
:: You get to label shoes: Again, shoes sometimes can get mixed up. Like when three boys in the kindergarten class have the same pair of Spiderman shoes. Stickerkid stocks shoe stickers which fit neatly into shoes, and you can even add details like your phone numbers on the stickers!
All in all, we love their colourful stickers, and its a thumbs up for their durability and quality!
